詞態(tài)變化

復(fù)數(shù):?converses;第三人稱單數(shù):?converses;過去式:?conversed;過去分詞:?conversed;現(xiàn)在分詞:?conversing;

助記提示

1、con- "together" + vers- + -e.
2、含義：turn around, exact opposite.
3、con-: together, 表示整個(gè)、一起、完全(exact)的轉(zhuǎn)向。
4、該詞來源于convert的拉丁語對應(yīng)詞的過去分詞。由此取形容詞詞性并引申出如今的含義。
5、類似的源于過去分詞、取形容詞詞性并且含義從另一個(gè)角度引申進(jìn)而發(fā)生變化的詞組：convert => converse; avert => averse; advert => adverse; divert => divers/diverse.
6、該詞的動(dòng)詞含義：con-: with; versare (vertere的反復(fù)體，反復(fù)動(dòng)詞：versare) => vers-; 字面含義：turn with sb, turn to company with sb(表示轉(zhuǎn)而和某人在一起，轉(zhuǎn)而陪伴某人). => 陪伴，交往，社交，交談，談話。
7、turn理解為中文里的“轉(zhuǎn)悠”，表示和某人一起到處轉(zhuǎn)悠轉(zhuǎn)悠，也行。
