Supine

A supine is a form in which a verb may appear in some languages. Supines do not exist in English.

Supines can often be used as verbal nouns.

A Latin supine ends in -um (former supine) or in -u (latter supine).

In Slovene, a supine is used after verbs of movement, and is identical to the infinitive except in that it does not include the last letter (-i). See Slovene grammar.
