Verb

sciō (present infinitive scīre, perfect active scīvī, supine scītum); fourth conjugation

I can, know, understand, have knowledge.
Scisne ubi habitemus?
Do you know where we live?
I know carnally.

Inflection

The third and fourth principal parts are shared with scīscō.
The regular present imperatives, scī and scīte, are almost never encountered, with the regular second person future imperative forms scītō and scītōte being used instead.
Irregular forms are commonly encountered in early Latin, especially in the imperfect and future tenses.
- syncopated perfect forms: scīsse (= scīvisse), scīstī (= scīvistī), scīrint (= scīverint)
- archaic imperfect forms: scībam, scībās, scībat, *scībāmus, scībātis, scībant (= sciēbam etc.)
- archaic future forms: scībō, scībis, scībit, scībimus, *scībitis, scībunt (= sciam etc.), passive scībitur
- Contraction scīn (or scīn') for scīsne (scīs + -ne)
