The verb Cenar

Question

Hola mis amigos,

I looked for the verb cenar in the dictionary and I found that the infinitive of this verb is ceñar, and which is quite different. Is this verb exceptional? According to what I know the infinitive verb is a basic form that does not change, am I right?

Muchos gracias y saludos.

And yes, you are right that there are not multiple infinitive forms of the same verb. - ninjacowgirl, Nov 29, 2011

Answer 1

HI MOh, nice thread and great help, this is in fact a glitch, I will report this right away to Paralee, the person in charge

the correct form is "cenar", to have dinner

Answer 2

That's very odd, I think I saw what you were talking about- you are talking about the conjugation section right? I think that must be a typo of some sort, because I have never seen ceñar before. Hopefully an admin will see this so they can fix it. (unless I'm just completely missing something, which I doubt)

The odd thing is that they have the tilde on every single conjugation of cenar, not just the infinitve. - ninjacowgirl, Nov 29, 2011

Answer 3

As far as I know ceñar is not a verb, but then there are many verbs I do not know.

However, if you are talking about cenar as in "to eat dinner" that is definitely cenar without the ñ. I'm not sure why a dictionary would have told you the infinitive is ceñar, that's strange.

Answer 4

Don't mix cena (dinner) y seno! Te gustaria comer seno conmigo? Opps

Answer 5

HI MOh, thanks again for bringing this up, mistake corrected and amended

cenar

Answer 6

whats infinitive mean?

Infinitive is the form with the ir/er/ar at the end, which means "to ____" It is not conjugated and therefore does not yet refer to a specific person or tense yet. - ninjacowgirl, Nov 29, 2011
