    Betawi

    [edit]

    Etymology

    [edit]

      Commonly regarded as a borrowing from Balinese -in. Nothofer argues that it also conflates Proto-Malayic *-ən (ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *-ən) and *-i (ultimately from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *-i), resulting in a different allomorphy and a more extensive use compared to the Balinese suffix. Compare Bangka -en, Minangkabau -an, and Kendayan -atn.[1]

              Usage notes
              [edit]

              The use of this suffix is restricted to cases where it is not preceded by a labial vowel (o, u, y, ö), the vowel i, a long vowel (it is shortened if necessary) or a diphthong (since it itself forms a diphthong). It is not used if the resulting word would be monosyllabic.

              Etymology 5

              [edit]

                From Proto-Finnic *-in (adjectival suffix), a variant of the diminutive suffix Proto-Finnic *-ma.

                Etymology 6

                [edit]

                From Proto-Finnic *-den (genitive plural suffix for some nouns), from the nominative plural ending *-t + genitive ending *-n (with an epenthetic *-e-).

                [edit]

                -in (rare)

                1. Forms the genitive plural.
                Usage notes
                [edit]
                • Suffixed to the nominative singular but the final -i changes to -e-.
                • Note, however, that the more common suffix for the genitive plural is -en added to the plural stem ending with i or j. A link consonant d is also sometimes present.
                • Nowadays this suffix is rare and usually gives an archaic tone. Certain proper nouns, however, retain this, e.g. Yhdysvaltain, from Yhdysvallat ("United States", singular stem Yhdysvalta-), where also the more modern form Yhdysvaltojen is possible.

                          • Nouns in -in may be either masculine or neuter. The gender must normally be checked for each individual word:
                            • masculine: bensin (petrol, gasoline)bensinen (the petrol, gasoline)

                          • Many substance names are normally uncountable, so plural forms are used only when the meaning permits, for example for different varieties, molecules or individual proteins.
                          • The suffix does not identify one single chemical class. It occurs in names for fuels, hormones, proteins, alkaloids, minerals and many other substances.
                          • Most words containing the suffix entered Bokmål as complete international or learned terms rather than being newly formed within Norwegian.
