legi

Legi is a term that appears in linguistic contexts and can refer to different forms in different languages. It is not a single, widely defined concept, but rather a linguistic form or infinitive that shows up in at least a couple of languages.

In Latin, legī (often written with a long i in proper typography as legī) is the present passive infinitive of the verb legere, meaning “to be read.” This form is used in various classical constructions to indicate passive voice in non-finite clauses or phrases. Its usage reflects Latin’s verb system, where infinitives function as non-conjugated verbal nouns.

In Esperanto, legi means “to read.” It is the infinitive form of the verb, from which other forms are derived, such as legas (reads) and legis (read). Esperanto verbs are invariant for person and number, and legi commonly appears in everyday usage as part of phrases like mi volas legi (I want to read) or li legas libron (he reads a book).

As a proper noun, Legi is not associated with a single well-known person, place, or organization in major reference sources. When encountered as a capitalized name, its meaning and referent can vary by context, and it may simply be a personal name, a place name, or an acronym in a specific field or language.

In summary, legi can denote a Latin grammatical form (to be read) or the Esperanto verb meaning “to read,” with any other uses depending on regional or disciplinary context.
