Usage notes

[edit]
  • This suffix is an alternative form of -ание (-anije). Originally, the two suffixes were equivalent, and both variants existed for most words, but nowadays only certain verbs can form nouns in -анье (-anʹje), and these nouns often have an obsolete, poetic or sometimes colloquial flavor.
  • The properties of this suffix are as for -ание (-anije); for example, the stress is usually not drawn onto the suffix, unlike for -е́нье (-énʹje) (but note ды́хать (dýxatʹ, to breathe)дыха́нье (dyxánʹje, breath, breathing)).
