Description:

The term 'wisin' was borrowed from French in the middle period, and means to dine or to eat nice food in a nice setting, and is the more polite companion to 'slek', which just means eat or food. It was originally borrowed as kywisin (stress on the second syllable), and was accpted in shortened form before codification started to occur in the early modern period.

Noun:

As a noun, wisin refers to fancy, expensive food or fine dining.

Verb:

• Paradigm: skurun (transitive)
• Auxiliary: te

As a verb, wisin is a transitive verb with an ergative subject that is the diner and an absolutive object that is the thing dined upon. It is extremely common to express this verb in the antipassive with se to emphasize that someone is dining without being specific about what is being dined upon. In that case, it takes a single argument in the absolutive which is the eater, and can express the thing eaten perphrastically using the prepostion y (null preposition).
