El participio de FREIR--frito y freído

Question

Quiero saber si hay dos formas del participio pasado de freir porque en algunos paises usan "frito" mientras otros usan "freído" o si es porque usamos "frito" cuando funciona como adjetivo y "freído" cuando funciona como verbo, por ejemplo en el presente perfecto.

Decimos "pollo frito." Hay lugares donde dicen "pollo freído"?

También podemos decir "Ya hemos frito los huevos," ¿no? o debe ser "Ya hemos freído los huevos"?

Gracias por sus respuestas.

I wonder about its validity and its provenance. Are all those participles used throughout Spanish speaking countries? - scratch2486, Nov 4, 2011

A comment

In English there are a few verbs that can be regular or irregular without anyone objecting.

Burnt / Burned - Learnt / learned - Leant / leaned for example.

That also depends on where you are. In the states you would get funny looks if you used " learnt." - Beatrice-Codder, Nov 3, 2011

You are absolutely correct, though. Good examples. - Beatrice-Codder, Nov 3, 2011

Answer 3

"The RAE accepts the regular form freído alongside frito as a past participle for freir, but frito is far more common." - Spanish verbs made simple, by David Brodsky

There seem to be 3 Spanish verbs with dobles participios: imprimido/impreso, freído/frito, proveído/provisto.

I think that we had a thread on roto and rompido but rompido was disused nowadays. - 0074b507, Nov 3, 2011

Answer 4

Amazing, I would have thought freído was wrong...this is what sometimes children say here, they are corrected, in Spain freído sounds really wrong.

Answer 5

This reminds me of the verb 'llenar' which means to fill. I've seen 'lleno' used as the past participle rather than 'llenado'. Any thoughts on that? Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread.

lleno means full but it is not the past participle of llenar. That is llenado (filled). - Beatrice-Codder, Nov 3, 2011

Answer 6

Freír is an irregular verb and for some reason it has two participles like you said.
