    • 2008, Marisa C. Weiss, Isabel Friedman, Taking Care of Your "Girls": A Breast Health Guide for Girls, Teens, and In-Betweens, New York, N.Y.: Three Rivers Press, →ISBN, page 63:
      Yeast infections are different from acne (or "rackne").
    • 2012, Heather Rutman, The Girl's Guide to Depravity: How to Get Laid Without Getting Screwed, Philadelphia, P.A.; London: Running Press, →ISBN, page 79:
      It's so refreshing to be with a guy who actually wants to be seen with you in the daytime that you convince yourself you can ignore the busted grille, the acne, backne, and chestne, or the fact that YOU normally wouldn't want to be seen with HIM in the daytime if you weren't so tired/desperate/horny. But resist.
    • 2014, Lena Dunham, Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's "Learned", New York, N.Y.: Random House, →ISBN, page 104:
      It's fucking weird. Yes, it's just a job, but most people's jobs don't consist of slamming your vagina against the flaccid, nylon-wrapped penis of a guy wearing massive amounts of foundation to conceal his assne.
    • 2016, Robert Wilder, Nickel, Santa Fe, N.N.: Leaf Storm Press, →ISBN, page 250:
      I know this sounds ghey, but he had the sad eyes of someone all the girls once loved before puberty took a huge hairy dump on him. Now he had a big Abomination body, a fivehead, robot jaw, clown feet, and acne. I didn't look, but probably backne and neckne too.

      Bodne tends to be more inflammatory (think: big red bumps or cysts instead of just blackheads), making it challenging for drugstore creams to clear everything up on their own—especially with severe breakouts. Also, your body is a much larger area compared to your face.

Etymology 1

[edit]

    From Proto-Finnic *-(i)nëk.

    Pronunciation

    [edit]
    • IPA(key): /-ne/, [-ne̞] (usually)
    • IPA(key): /-neˣ/, [-ne̞(ʔ)] (some speakers)

    Suffix

    [edit]

    -ne

    1. The suffix used to form the comitative case. It denotes companionship and ownership, and is written where English would use "together with (one's possession)".
      Menin ruskeine koirineni.
      I went together with my brown dog.
      Tiibet on mielenkiintoinen maa suurine vuorineen.
      Tibet is a fascinating land, together with its great mountains.
    Usage notes
    [edit]
    • Relatively rare in spoken Finnish. The idea of comitative is more often expressed with other structures, particularly the postposition kanssa (together with).
    • Grammatically comitative is always plural, even if used of a singular object.
    • In nouns the suffix -ne is appended with the appropriate possessive suffix. In Wiktionary the declension tables of Finnish nouns show the comitative with the 3rd person suffix -en to form -neen.
    • See the appendix on Finnish nominal cases for more information on how the comitative case is used.

      Usage notes

      • ne substitutes a phrase started by di:
      • The adverb ne replaces di (from there):
      Sono di Genova; ne sono venuto stamattina.
      I am from Genoa; I came from there this morning.
      • The pronoun ne stands for di + [pronoun], and can thus be a translation of “[preposition] + it/them” for any preposition that is translated as di in Italian.
      • The enclitic is suffixed either to certain verb forms Iinfinitive or imperative) or to ecco.
        • It can be suffixed to infinitive verb forms. In this case, the final -e of the verb is dropped:
          parlare + ‎-ne → ‎parlarne
          sapere + ‎-ne → ‎saperne
          sentire + ‎-ne → ‎sentirne
          • If the infinitive form ends in -arre, final -re is dropped:
            trarre + ‎-ne → ‎trarne
          • If the infinitive form includes an enclitic personal pronoun, -ne is appended after that. In that case, the -i ending of the personal pronoun changes to -e:
            approfittarsi + ‎-ne → ‎approfittarsene
            farsi + ‎-ne → ‎farsene
            • If the personal pronoun in question is -gli, an -e- is inserted between the pronoun and -ne:
              dargli + ‎-ne → ‎dargliene
        • It can also be suffixed to imperative verb forms:
          prendi + ‎-ne → ‎prendine
          prendete + ‎-ne → ‎prendetene
          • If the imperative form includes an enclitic personal pronoun, -ne is appended after that. In that case, the -i ending of the personal pronoun changes to -e:
            prenditi + ‎-ne → ‎prenditene
            prendetevi + ‎-ne → ‎prendetevene
            • If the personal pronoun in question is -gli, an -e- is inserted between the pronoun and -ne:
              dagli + ‎-ne → ‎dagliene
        • If ecco has an enclitic personal pronoun suffixed (eccomi, eccoti, eccoci, eccovi), -ne is appended after that. In that case, the -i ending of the personal pronoun changes to -e:
          eccoti + ‎-ne → ‎eccotene
          eccovi + ‎-ne → ‎eccovene
          • If the personal pronoun in question is -gli, an -e- is inserted between the pronoun and -ne:

        -ne (interrogative enclitic)[3]

        1. Added to the end of a word (usually the first word in a phrase) in a polar question.
          Nihilne in mentem?
          Does nothing suggest itself to your mind?

          Ah, at it again?

          Synonyms: utrum, utrumne
          • c. 206 BCE – 188 BCE, Plautus, Mercator 3.4.46–48:
            Quid tu faceres? Men rogas? Requireres,
            rogitares quis esset aut unde esset, qua prosapia,
            civisne esset an peregrinus.
            • 2011 translation by Wolfgang de Melo
              What should you have done? You’re asking me? You should have inquired and asked who he was or where he was from, from what family, and whether he was a citizen or a foreigner.
        3. (rare) Added to the end of an interrogative pronoun or adverb in a non-polar question.

        Usage notes

        [edit]
        • When used as an interrogative enclitic, -ne is usually found in polar (yes-no) questions, attached to the end of the emphatic word:
          Is tibi mortemne vidētur aut dolōrem timēre?
          Does it seem to you to be death that he fears or pain?
          Hīcine vir usquam nisi in patriā moriētur?
          Shall this man die anywhere but in his native land?
          ne id veritus es?
          Did you fear that?
        • The use of -ne in polar questions is not mandatory: it can be omitted.
          Patēre tua cōnsilia nōn sentīs?
          Do you not see that your schemes are manifest?
        • When -ne is added to a negative word (such as nōnne) an affirmative answer is expected.
          Nōnne animadvertis?
          Aren't you paying attention?
        • There are a few rare examples of -ne being attached to the wh-word of a wh-question; e.g. quālīne amīcō in Plautus.[4][5]
        • The enclitic -ne is also used in combination with the particle an (or) to present a list of alternatives. In one pattern, -ne is attached to the first alternative and an is placed before the second. Alternatively, utrum may be used before the first alternative: in this case, -ne may be absent, or it may be attached to utrum (combining with it to form utrumne, as in "utrumne tuum virum malis an illius"), or it may be attached to the end of the first alternative (as in "utrum tu masne an femina es", "utrum illudne an tuum malis").[6]

        Usage notes

        [edit]

        This suffix appears to only have been weakly productive. There are several instances of singulatives suffixed with -ne that are additionally prefixed with óen (one), which suggests that -ne was sometimes considered insufficient to denote singulativity by itself.[1] Beyond Old and Middle Irish the suffix is only found in fossilized forms.

        Usage notes

        [edit]
        • The difference between -ne and -na is that the former was used for masculine nouns, while the latter was used for feminine, a category lost in modern Swedish, which has merged the two genders into the so-called common gender. Thus, the definite of stenar would be "stenarne", while the definite of kvinna would be "kvinnorna", the same as the modern form.
