In this article, we will talk, which means “t” in the verbs - a suffix or ending.

For several decades, disputes among linguists have been underway, which means in the verbs “t”. Is this a suffix or ending? To date, the existence of both versions is allowed and both of them are good in their own way. But what about us, ordinary people? What is the point of view? Now we will figure it out.
“T” in verbs is a suffix or ending?
For a long time, the grammar accepted “t” and “te” as an ending for the initial form of the verb. Most of modern manuals that are intended for universities are of the same opinion.
Even for the end of “t”, many linguists are also accepted - Shan, Baranov, Kuznetsov and others. In defense of their version, they say that in the initial form of the verb (infinitive), the ending can be determined. Of course, this version is controversial, because after it there are many questions. This is due to the fact that the infinitive, in fact, does not change and therefore it should definitely not have the end.
Modern school textbooks say that “t” and “te” in verbs are suffixes. This theory was developed by Babytsev and Valgin. They tried to prove that the first position was incorrect.
They stated that “t” does not express a grammatical meaning and therefore it cannot be the end, and it is not in other forms formed from the infinitive. It seems to be convincing, but questions still appear.
If “t” is a suffix, then why is it not at the heart of the word? It was this issue that arose for everyone who studied this theory. Although, finding an answer to it is very easy - in the Russian language suffixes are form -forming and word -forming. Morphems of the second type are not included in the word, and the first we just see in the infinitive.
"Whose" in verbs is a suffix or ending?
But what about "whose"? After all, there are such verbs, which in the end are precisely these two letters.
Again, there are several theories:
- Suffix
- Flexion
- Part of the root
The first two versions have already been outdated, but earlier “whose” was determined as well as the first two options.
Modern linguists believe that this is part of the root. You can prove the correctness of the approval with a simple check. For example, a stove-bell. With the formation of the infinitive “whose” is preserved and it means it can be considered part of the root.
In conclusion, we can conclude that it is impossible to unequivocally argue that it is “t” and “whose” in the verbs. Both theories are true from the point of view of the Russian language and each of them has its own supporters and opponents.
