-si-

Appendix:Variations of "si" Finnish Etymology Originally from the plural stem of fi -nen diminutive suffix. Interfix fi interfix Used in adverbs between a noun (usually referring to an article of clothing) and an external location case ending (adessive, allative, ablative) to refer to a state where one is (only) wearing that clothing. Used in adverbs between a noun and an external location case ending with a more generic diminutive meaning. Usage notes fi -si- is always placed before the case ending, but it is basically arbitrary whether it attaches to the singular or plural stem of any given word. It appears that it is always attached to the strong stem for nouns that have gradation. Even further, in some cases it is preceded by an unetymological fi -i-, probably extracted by analogy from actually regular plural stems. The nominal form obtained as a result of attaching the locative case ending is considered to be in the plural. Only cases where the corresponding fi -nen derivative does not exist as an independent noun can be considered to use fi -si-, which has developed from the inflected forms of those derivatives by analogy, specifically.
