Finnish

Etymology 1

From Proto-Finnic *-t'ak, from Proto-Uralic *-ta- (verbalizer) (see the Proto-Finnic entry for more).

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /-tɑˣ/, [-t̪ɑ(ʔ)]

Suffix

-ta (front vowel harmony variant -tä, stem -a-)

Forms verbs from nouns, generally with a causative, factitive or instrumental meaning.
‎kampa (“comb”) + ‎-ta → ‎kammata (“to comb”)
‎linko (“sling; centrifuge”) + ‎-ta → ‎lingota (“to hurl, sling, fling”)

Usage notes

The derivatives belong to the conjugation types no. 73, 74 and 75. The only differences between these three types are the conditional forms, with 74 being a superset of 73 and 75 (allowing both forms of conditional stems). Stems ending in -a are always type 73, while other vowels result in 74 and 75 (with no clear regular pattern).
Triggers consonant gradation in the root, if applicable.
Used mainly on bisyllabic vowel-stem nouns. For monosyllabic and consonant-stem nouns, -taa is more common.
A final -i- in the stem -ta is attached to usually becomes -e-.

Derived terms

Finnish terms suffixed with -ta (causative)

Etymology 2

From Proto-Finnic *-t'ak.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /-tɑˣ/, [-t̪ɑ(ʔ)]

Suffix

-ta (front vowel harmony variant -tä, stem -a-)

Forms verbs from nouns with a translative or reflexive meaning.
‎kato (“disappearance”) + ‎-ta → ‎kadota (“to disappear”)
‎raukea (“limp, drowsy”) + ‎-ta → ‎raueta (“to weaken, lapse”)

Usage notes

The derivatives belong to the conjugation types no. 74, 75 and rarely 73. The only differences between these three types are the conditional forms, with 74 being a superset of 73 and 75 (allowing both forms of conditional stems). Stems ending in -a are always type 73, while other vowels result in 74 and 75 (with no clear regular pattern).
Triggers consonant gradation in the root, if applicable.
A final -i- in the stem -ta is attached to usually becomes -e-.
Largely conflated with etymology 1, as they have fallen together in form.

Derived terms

Finnish terms suffixed with -ta (translative)

Etymology 3

From Proto-Finnic *-ta, a variant form of *-da (whence Finnish -a) that was used when it followed a (secondarily) stressed syllable (suffixal gradation). Ultimately from the Proto-Uralic ablative case *-ta (compare to Moksha -да, -та (-da, -ta) and Erzya -до (-do)).

Suffix

Suffix

-ta

Forms the certain future tense.

Usage notes

Verbs with this suffix take series I person markers.

Derived terms

(possibly) -tai

Etymology 3

Cognates are found in many other Cariban languages, where they are usually restricted to use with or in place of an imperative marker cognate to -kö. The Maquiritari suffix thus shows a broadened scope of use.

Suffix

-ta

Directs that the command or request expressed by a verb must be executed somewhere else and not at the place where the order was given.

Usage notes

This suffix immediately precedes the verb’s tense/aspect/mood markers (and so is distinguished from the certain future suffix above). In most cases, it can only appear with one of the three modal markers -kö (imperative), -iye (jussive), and -'ñojo (rogative); however, when used in the imperative singular, it takes the place of the suffix -kö instead of appearing alongside it.

In the plural this suffix takes the form -tan except in the third person, where it does not change. That is, it takes the form -tan when followed by plural -tö.

Derived terms

-tan
