Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *i̯et (“to set out for; to strive”). Compare Old Irish ét (“thirst”), Irish éad (“eagerness, jealousy”), Latin sitis (“thirst”), Tocharian A yat (“reach, get”). Alternatively from Proto-Indo-European *eus-ti-, cognate to Greek αἰτέω (aἰtéo, “to demand, to beg”). Orel suggests Proto-Albanian *alk-ti-, drawing comparisons to Lithuanian álkti (“to be hungry”), Proto-Slavic *olkati (“id.”), and Old High German ilgi (“hunger”).

Finnish

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈet/, [ˈe̞t̪]
• Rhymes: -et
• Syllabification: et

Etymology 1

See ei. Has the regular verb ending -t.

Verb

et

1. The second-person singular form of the negative verb (negation verb). The English translations include do not/don’t and not (with auxiliary verbs and be).

Usage notes

• The negative verb is used with the connegative form of the main verb. That form is identical to the second-person singular imperative in the indicative present. The potential mood connegative ends in the marker for the mood, -ne-, and the conditional mood connegative ends in the marker for the mood, -isi-. In the indicative past, conditional past and potential past, the active past participle singular (ending -ut/-yt) is used. The connegative form of the main verb is always used without the personal suffix.

• Usage of et:

• Indicative:

• Sinä näet. (You see.) -> Sinä et näe. (You do not see.)
• Sinä näit. (You saw.) -> Sinä et nähnyt. (You did not see.)
• Sinä olet nähnyt. (You have seen.) -> Sinä et ole nähnyt. (You have not seen.)
• Sinä olit nähnyt. (You had seen.) -> Sinä et ollut nähnyt. (You had not seen.)

• Conditional:

• Sinä näkisit. (You would see.) -> Sinä et näkisi. (You would not see.)
• Sinä olisit nähnyt. (You would have seen.) -> Sinä et olisi nähnyt. (You would not have seen.)

• Potential:

• Sinä nähnet. (You probably see.) -> Sinä et nähne. (You probably do not see.)
• Sinä lienet nähnyt. (You have probably seen.) -> Sinä et liene nähnyt. (You have probably not seen.)

Conjugation

• The negation verb has no infinitive form.
• Indicative, conditional and potential moods use the indicative forms (stem e-), for which the verb is conjugated only in person.
• In the imperative mood the negation verb has the stem äl-.
• An archaic optative mood exists and is used mainly in poetry.

person	indicative mood	imperative mood	optative mood
1st sing.	en	(älkääni, älkäämi)	(ällön)
2nd sing.	et	älä	(ällös)
3rd sing.	ei	älköön	(älköön)
1st plur.	emme	älkäämme	(älköömme)
2nd plur.	ette	älkää	(älköötte)
3rd plur.	eivät	älkööt	(älkööt)
