Sanskrit passive tense

[icarus]

Buried and confused: nowhere does it tell us how to form the past imperfect passive tense on the very irregular "to make." Of course, like all irregular verbs, it's used all the time.

*guesses wildly*

Hmm. What I just wrote, my unique version of "was made" looks very illegal.

How the hell am I going to do all this? I'm taking second quarter Sanskrit with a less structured teacher than last quarter (he's not bad, just not the crack-the-whip, step-by-step type) alongside two graduate courses.

Thank god for snow. It's beautiful outside with a crystal white dusting like icing everywhere. And a pink sky over silver blue mountains. wildernessguru's home, happy to not be kicking around work with nothing to do in this cold. "The cold's not bad when you're working, but when there's nothing to do...."

He's cuddled under the blankets, oblivious to Monte kitty bouncing after his fuzzy ball.

Back to Sanskritsanskritsanskrit... only eight more to do. Let's look at it that way.


ETA: Kitty's sproing-sproing-Pounce woke WG up. "Is that Monte?" Now the mountains are pink. Those roads look icy, don't they?

Oh, don't you just love it when the textbook forgets to put in irregular things. I actually once had a textbook explain that the imperative of the word brát (Czech for "to take") was particularly interesting and difficult, and then not include the example.

Good luck!

I would just like to tell you that I initially interpreted the "his" before "fuzzy to refer to he=WG. And was all, dude, he's oblivious to... oh. Right. The cat's fuzzy ball. Um.

:D

This is just a wild theory...but could the passive be a different verb? (I know it is in Latin. "Facio" for the active and "fieri" for the passive. So if a student tries to look up the passive of "facio", they won't get very far. Damn irregular verbs...)
