  1. See -it-

Finnish

[edit]

Etymology 1

[edit]

From Proto-Finnic *-it'ak, from Proto-Uralic *-ńće-, *-nśe- (probably akin to the diminutive ending -ise-). The original stem before preceding endings other than original *-et-, is *-icc- (e.g. *valic'en, *valiccepi, but *valit'ak). However, potential forms were replaced with ones in -nn- by semi-regular sound changes, intensified by degemination of -cc- to -c- and later assimilation to -n- (cf. *saictak → potential *sainni).

Suffix

[edit]

-ita (front vowel harmony variant -itä, stem -itse-, linguistic notation -itse- or -itA)

  1. Forms instrumental verbs from nouns.
    naula (nail) + ‎-ita → ‎naulita (to nail down)
    lääke (medicine) + ‎-ita → ‎lääkitä (to medicate)
  2. Forms some verbs indicating acting in a capacity or a profession.
    tulkki (interpreter) + ‎-ita → ‎tulkita (to interpret)
  3. Forms various other verbs from nouns or adjectives.
    tarve (need) + ‎-ita → ‎tarvita (to need)
    villi (wild) + ‎-ita → ‎villitä (to drive wild)
Usage notes
[edit]
  • Verbs with this suffix show the weak grade of consonant gradation in the stem, where applicable.
  • In many cases, derived verbs exist alongside verbs ending in -ia or -(o)ta, e.g. himoita (to lust) beside himota from himo (lust), archaic leikitä (to play) beside leikkiä from leikki (play). It is unclear if these instances are derived directly from the base nouns or as pleonastic derivatives from the shorter verbs.[1]
