-tta

See also: -ttä and tta

Finnish

Etymology 1

From Proto-Finnic *-tta, from Proto-Uralic *-kta.

Suffix

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä)

  1. Suffix for the abessive case, without.
Usage notes
  • Suffixed to the genitive stem in the singular, to the same stem as the inessive in the plural.
  • Not very commonly used, especially the singular forms.
Synonyms
Derived terms
  • -ti (has developed into the general abessive case suffix in most Nyland and South Tavastian dialects)

Etymology 2

Derived from the assimilated final consonant of the stem, *k or *h, plus the partitive suffix -ta.

Suffix

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä)

  1. A suffix for the partitive singular.
Usage notes
  • Used predominantly for words whose nominative singular ends in -e and which lengthen that final -e in other singular cases, as well as for ordinal numerals starting from kolmas. Traditionally also for ori.

Etymology 3

From Proto-Finnic *-tta.

Suffix

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä)

  1. Forms certain adverbs, typically of manner.
Derived terms
Finnish terms suffixed with -tta (adverbial)

Etymology 4

Possibly from Proto-Finnic *-tta, if *aitta contains this suffix; otherwise there are no corresponding forms even in the other Finnic languages.

Suffix

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä)

  1. (rare) Forms some nouns, generally for places.
Usage notes

Suffixed to the weak stem and appears to cause the final -a- to change to -e- in the same way as -mpi, -ella, -ntaa, -eta do. This may, however, be a gap in data, as karjetta and ometta may both be formed analogously to navetta, and the suffix -tto (which is derived from -tta) does not appear to exhibit this behavior.

Derived terms
Finnish terms suffixed with -tta (nominal)
