Etymology

From ridar (to laugh) +‎ -et-.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ri.de.ˈtar/, /ri.dɛ.ˈtaɾ/

Verb

ridetar (present tense ridetas, past tense ridetis, future tense ridetos, imperative ridetez, conditional ridetus)

Usage notes

Because of the somewhat ambiguous creation of "ridetar" (lit. a small laugh), some speakers have suggested *smailar as a replacement (from English smile), but this has yet to gain wide spread usage.
