Finnish

Etymology 1

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

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /-tɑˣ/, [-t̪ɑ̝(ʔ)]

Suffix

-ta (front vowel harmony variant -tä, stem -a-, linguistic notation -A- or -tA)

1. 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 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; colloquially all of these, except for those with stems ending in -i- like selvitä, are often inflected as if they were in class 74).
• 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)

• -uuttaa

 

Etymology 2

From Proto-Finnic *-t'ak.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /-tɑˣ/, [-t̪ɑ̝(ʔ)]

Suffix

-ta (front vowel harmony variant -tä, stem -a-, linguistic notation -A- or -tA)

1. 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 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; colloquially all of these, except for those with stems ending in -i-, are often inflected as if they were in class 74).
• 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.

Etymology 2

Suffix

-ta

1. Forms the certain future tense.

Usage notes

Verbs with this suffix take series I person markers.

Derived terms

• -tai (possibly)

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 Ye'kwana suffix thus shows a broadened scope of use.

Suffix

-ta

1. 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
