ridetar

Ido

Etymology

From ridar (“to laugh”) +‎ -et-.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ri.de.ˈtar/, /ri.dɛ.ˈtaɾ/

Verb

ridetar (present tense ridetas, past tense ridetis, future tense ridetos, imperative ridetez, conditional ridetus)

(intransitive) to smile, smirk, snigger

Usage notes

Because of the somewhat ambiguous creation of "ridetar" (lit. a small laugh), some speakers have suggested *smailar as a replacement (from English smile), but this has yet to gain wide spread usage.
