Meanings & Translations
English: to move, to drift, to float, to be in constant motion Polish: ruszać się, przemieszczać się, dryfować, płynąć (w powietrzu/wodzie)
Definition
To move or drift; general word for movement. Unlike aśù (verb) - walk on foot, ambulate, or haśù (verb) - to run, fnonů can be used to refer to any kind of movement.
Etymology
Derived from the noun fno (noun) (eye floater, vitreous opacity) + the verbal suffix -nů. The logic follows that just as eye floaters never stop moving when one tries to focus on them, this verb describes the state of moving.
Examples
- Fwo fnonů.
- The fog moves (drifts).
- Mgła płynie (porusza się).*
- Jo fnonů.
- It moves (around).
- To się rusza.
