Finnish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Proto-Finnic *-kte, from *-k (marker for the present tense) + *-te (etymologically identical to te, the second-person plural personal pronoun). In the past tense, there was originally -i- in place of -k- (*-ite) but the present suffix has been generalized to all tenses and moods.
Suffix[edit]
-tte
- (personal) Forms the second-person plural of verbs.
- lukea -> luette you (plural, or polite singular or plural) read
Usage notes[edit]
- Suffixed to the same stem that the first-person singular has, both in the present and the past tense, and in indicative, conditional and potential mood.
