About this verb#
- Highly irregular perfective from the дать-family (Zaliznyak class 14): the present-future does not use the usual -е-/-и- endings (дам, дашь, даст, дадим, дадите, дадут). Past tense has the pattern дал / дала / дало / дали with feminine end-stress. The imperfective partner is давать with its own contracted -ва- stem.
