@thor id be curious to have an example of a sentance where read is ambiguous.
@icedquinn @freemo i mean, here's how we do the word "read" in Norwegian (and very similar in the other Scandinavian languages - largely just spelling differences, as usual)
å lese = to read (the act of reading in general)
leser = reads/reading (is currently reading or reads in general)
leste = read (in the past)
har lest = has/have read (the action is completed)
i think thor's complaint is coming from a celtic language where the inflection carries that information directly.
