Chapter 6: Complementary Infinitives

• Because of possum's meaning ("can", "to be able"), it requires an infinitive to complete its meaning. Hence the name of this specific infinitive - the "complementary infinitive".
  
  
  • Dëbeö is another verb you have already learned which requires a complementary infinitive. [e.g., dëbës amäre: you should love/ you ought to love].
