correct spelling, errors, usage
Word « depend » is a Russian verb in infinitive (original, impersonal, indefinite) form.
It is spelled correctly, ending in " -et " . Means subordination to someone, being under the influence of someone or something, or painful partiality to something or someone: "He completely depended on the whims of his beloved"; "To be employed means to depend from the will of the chief"; " Athlete addicted to doping is cured and returns to sport" . And “depend” is a word that does not exist in any language, a meaningless set of letters; to write like this means to make a gross spelling and semantic (semantic) mistake.
Why not "depend"?
Erroneous "depend" this is most likely a surzhik. In linguistics, it is an unnatural coition of parts of words and ways of word formation on the border of the distribution of related languages, giving rise, so to speak, to bastard words (figuratively speaking, and pardon the rudeness).
In the border regions, surzhik sometimes not only exists - it dominates in vernacular. In Chernihiv, Sumy and Poltava regions, even educated people often say “nezavysymist” (in Russian transliteration, that is, independence), while the correct one is “nezalezhnist” (also in Russian transliteration). Ex-president V. Yushchenko, originally from Sumy, once said on television: “We are invincible”, but we should have been “invincible” (invincible; again Russian transliteration). From him, in official speeches in the state language, more than once heard "And the point" (correctly: "I speck"). And this is the highest official of the state, a person with a higher education, who has collected an extensive personal library! And they do not want to speak out in any correct way either way or that way. We, they say, have a “Slobozhansky dialect”, or even a “language”. Such is the "nezavysimist". From everything in general, including elementary common sense. nine0022
Meaning
Let's specify the meaning of the verb "depend".
It is used in four meanings:
- To be subordinate to someone: “There are fewer opportunities for career growth at a remote job, but you also depend on superiors less than ” .
- Be limited in actions, decisions, deeds due to the influence of extraneous circumstances (reasons, conditions, factors): "The start time of spring field work depends on current weather conditions"; "Shrinkage rate of the foundation under the building depends on its design and the structure of the soil under it.
- To be under the influence, under the influence of someone else's will: "It is wrong to morally suppress people three times: a person who depends on you is dull, unfulfilling and unreliable, since he secretly seeks to get rid of dependence" .
- To be morbidly committed to something or someone: "The creative activity of Edgar Allan Poe directly depended on the amount of alcohol the writer drank"; “Mayakovsky was unbearably depend on an excessive predilection for the fair sex, but he could not help himself ".
There are no synonyms for all values.
Grammar
The word “to charge” is an intransitive irreflexive verb of the imperfect form of conjugation II. Consists of prefix "for-" , root "-vis-" , suffix "-e-" and verb ending "-t" . Is an irregular verb: despite the presence of the suffix 9 characteristic of conjugation I0004 "e" , refers to II conjugation (see help at the end). Stress and separation for transfer for-wi-net ; in manuscripts, when there is not enough space for writing, it is permissible for-hang-et . There are no corresponding perfective and reflexive verbs. Explanations for the grammatical characteristic:
- "Intransitive" - the action is performed by the acting subject himself, and does not pass from him to something or someone. If someone is really independent, then he himself is independent. And someone can give his life for someone else's independence, being completely dependent on someone else.
nine0050 - "Imperfect view" indicates that the action has not yet been completed or is being performed, but not completed. Although I am not only dependent, but enslaved, however, as long as I live, I can achieve true independence. At least, when I die, I will no longer depend on any earthly power or addiction. But any living independent is not guaranteed from falling into dependence. Therefore, there is no corresponding perfect verb: during life there is not and cannot be confidence in the complete completion of the action, but the dead do not care. nine0050
- "Irreversible" - the action is not directed to itself, as evidenced by the absence of the suffix "-sya" . There is no corresponding reflexive verb, since everyone is dependent on himself and it is impossible not to depend on himself; that is, "self-dependence" is permanent, it is not an action, but a phenomenon, an object. And dependence, expressed by an action, that is, by a verb, is possible only from someone or something else.
Again: the dead will not turn anything on themselves.
Personal forms of the verb “charge” are:

- ( I ) depend (present) / depend (past male) / depend not?> depended ( depended ) or
(subjunctive)/ - ( We ) dependent (present)/ dependent
