Darii is a first-figure syllogism that derives a particular affirmative (I) conclusion from a universal affirmative (A) major premise and a particular affirmative (I) minor premise. The name 'Darii' uses vowels A-I-I. Unlike Barbara, Darii only claims that 'some' members of a category have a property, making it useful when we know partial overlap rather than complete inclusion.
