Infinitive: Applications, English & Balto-Slavic languages

Infinitive (abbreviated inf) is a term in linguistics for certain verb forms existing in many languages, most often used as non-finite verbs that do not show a tense. As with many linguistic concepts, there is not a single definition applicable to all languages. The name is derived from Late Latin infinitivus, a derivative of infinitus meaning 'not finite'.
