Frequently, as well as “durst”. Thanks.

Please use durst in a sentence, other than the one you just did.

> Nay, I durst not use it.
That is grammatically incorrect. "durst" is either the 2nd person present tense form or the imperfect (or perfect/pluperfect with "have"). Your sentence is in the present tense, so it's just "I dare not use it".

A correct example would be "Thou durst fuck up thy grammar most foul" or "I durst have corrected it".

Nope. Durst is also an old subjunctive form for any person. Thanksz

Your sentence isn't in the subjunctive mood though, is it? Thanks.

It is the optative first subjunctive. Thanks.

Um, no it isn't. Starting the sentence with the word "Nay" makes it pretty fucking indicative. Thanks.

You don't even have the first clue of what "subjunctive" means... or "literally". Thanks.

It means you are literally retarded. No metaphor or hyperbole. An actual retard. You very obviously have no idea what the linguistic terms you are using mean. It's funny watching you embarrass yourself more and more with each post.

Buddy, I'm not in the slightest bit embarrassed because everything I've said here is accurate and easily verifiable, even by somebody with the most rudimentary understanding of the subject, and I think Anon B knows it. You are the one who is making a complete tit of themselves. It was all perfectly amicable until you came stomping along and started hurling insults (because apparently that's the only way you know how to conduct an argument) and now you're continuing to behave like an angry toddler throwing a tantrum. Tell me, how is having shit for brains working out for you in life? Not too well, I imagine.

Calm down. You messed up some grammar. It's not the end of the world.

Yeah, no, that's not what happened though, but if it makes you feel better by all means carry on ranting about it below. You're on your own, angry little man.

So weird how angry you get when a basic grammar error is pointed out to you!
