"-is" meaning in Esperanto

See -is in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Suffix

Etymology: The Esperanto suffixes -as, -is, -os, -us are related, and appear to have been inspired by previous language projects: : This play of vowels is not an original idea of Zamenhof's: -as, -is, -os are found for the three tenses of the infinitive in Faiguet's system of 1765; -a, -i, -o without a consonant are used like Z's -as, -is, -os by Rudelle (1858); Courtonne in 1885 had -am, -im, -om in the same values, and the similarity with Esperanto is here even more perfect than in the other projects, as -um corresponds to Z's -us. —An International Language (1928) The vowel of -is is likely cognate with the Latin perfect, as in amavit "s/he had loved", and the corresponding past infinitive amavisse. Head templates: {{head|eo|suffix|cat2=inflectional suffixes}} -is
  1. ending of past tense in verbs, e.g. ami to love, ŝi amis she loved. Tags: morpheme
