Click on words
Suppletion refers to the phenomenon in morphology where an irregular form is used to express a grammatical contrast instead of regular inflection.
An example of suppletion is the English verb "to be," where the forms "am," "is," "are," "was," and "were" do not follow a regular pattern of inflection.
What is "suppletion"?

Suppletion is a linguistic phenomenon where an irregular morphological change occurs in a word, often involving the use of entirely different roots to express different grammatical forms. Instead of following a regular pattern of inflection or derivation, one form of the word is replaced with a different word. A common example is the English verb "to be," which has different forms such as "am," "is," and "are" instead of following a standard pattern. Suppletion can reveal historical connections between words and show how languages evolve over time.
