Etymology

From Italian preferire.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /(ɪ)p.prɛ.fɛˈrɪʃ.ʃa/

Verb

ppreferixxa (imperfect jippreferixxi, past participle ppreferit or preferit or ppreferut or preferut, verbal noun ppreferir)

  1. to prefer

Conjugation
  • The traditional rule is that the syllable -ixx- is lost before stressed endings; that is in the past tense, before -x, and before a pronominal suffix. The contemporary tendency is to either keep -ixx- in all forms or avoid it in all forms (see pprefera above).
