Pronunciation -yn Suffix lt suffix Forms adverbs that denote a change toward a certain condition. lt mažas mažyn little; small downward in size; becoming smaller Usage notes Adverbs formed from this suffix are often used with the verb lt eiti to go, e.g. eina lt blogyn, it is getting worse. Reduplication is also common for emphasis, e.g. lt didyn ir didyn, bigger and bigger. Kalindra (2011) compares -yn to -ways, -ward, and -wise in English, although -yn is not restricted to directions. Alternatively, one may think of it as a comparative suffix like -er, which is usually how derived adverbs would be translated into English (as in the preceding examples), but this is distinct from the comparative degree of adverbs in Lithuanian.

Pronunciation nb /yːn/ nb yːn 1 nb -yn Suffix nb suffix n definite singular -ynet indefinite plural -yn definite plural -yna or -ynene nb organic chemistry A suffix used in the names of alkynes, hydrocarbons containing one or more carbon–carbon triple bonds. nb etan ethane → nb etyn ethyne, acetylene nb propan propane → nb propyn propyne nb butan butane → nb butyn butyne Usage notes In the name of an alkyne, the alkane ending nb -an is replaced by nb -yn: nb etan ethane → nb etyn ethyne nb propan propane → nb propyn propyne nb butan butane → nb butyn butyne When the position of the triple bond must be specified, a number is placed before the suffix: nb but-1-yn but-1-yne nb but-2-yn but-2-yne The suffix contrasts with nb -an, used in alkane names for compounds with carbon–carbon single bonds, and nb -en, used in alkene names for compounds with carbon–carbon double bonds. Chemical nouns in nb -yn are neuter. The suffix has definite singular nb -ynet, an unchanged indefinite plural nb -yn, and definite plural nb -yna or nb -ynene. Not every Norwegian word ending in ⟨yn⟩ contains this suffix; it is restricted to chemical nomenclature.
