The aspectual verb wêze may be conjugated in the perfect tense either with wêzebe or with hawwehave.
The aspectual verb wêze can be used to indicate a change of location, but its meaning is restricted to denote absence, more specifically, absence from a source location that is not overtly expressed. As a result, this construction may be referred to as the absentive. An example is given below:
Wêr is Watze? Hy is nei de stêd ta |
Wêr is Watze he is to the town to |
Where is Watze? He has gone to town |
The perfective motional interpretation is carried solely by the verb wêzebe and its accompanying goal Adposition Phrase (PP). The source is understood from the context to be the topic's usual location. Source PPs are never or rarely spelled out in this type of clause.
In case the source is spelled out, the perfect participle of geango must be present (see predication and noun incorporation on the absence of the infinitival or participial forms of this light verb and some others).
a. | ?*Wêr is Watze? Hy is fan Kollum nei Ljouwert ta | ||||||||||||||
Wêr is Watze he is from Kollum to the town to | |||||||||||||||
Where is Watze? He has gone from Kollum to Ljouwert |
b. | Wêr is Watze? Hy is fan Kollum nei Ljouwert ta gien | ||||||||||||||
Wêr is Watze he is from Kollum to the town to gone | |||||||||||||||
Where is Watze? He has gone from Kollum to Ljouwert |
It was shown that verbs denoting a change of location are conjugated with wêzebe, that is, they display unaccusative behaviour. The aspectual verb wêzebe, however, is an exception in that it can be conjugated with either havehawwe or wêzebe.
a. | Watze hat nei De Jouwer ta west | ||||||||||||||
Watze has to De jouwer to been | |||||||||||||||
Watze has been away to De Jouwer |
b. | Watze is nei De Jouwer ta west | ||||||||||||||
Watze is to De jouwer to been | |||||||||||||||
Watze has been away to De Jouwer |
This variation is present regardless of the verb's pattern of complementation. So it is also found in case the verb is accompanied by an Adjective Phrase (AP):
a. | Watze hat siik west | ||||||||||||||
Watze has ill been | |||||||||||||||
Watze has been ill |
b. | Watze is siik west | ||||||||||||||
Watze is ill been | |||||||||||||||
Watze has been ill |
The variation is chiefly found in the position of the tensed verb. In non-finite position, the verb hawwehave is generally used:
a. | ?*Nei lang siik west te wêzen | ||||||||||||||
after long ill been to be | |||||||||||||||
After having been ill for a long time |
b. | Nei lang siik west te hawwen | ||||||||||||||
after long ill been to have | |||||||||||||||
After having been ill for a long time |
c. | ?*Dat moast dus in Friezinne west wêze | ||||||||||||||
that must therefore a Frisian.woman been be | |||||||||||||||
She must have been a Frisian |
d. | Dat moast dus in Friezinne west hawwe | ||||||||||||||
that must therefore a Frisian.woman been have | |||||||||||||||
She must have been a Frisian |
