-uttaa

Finnish Etymology fi -ua passive suffix -ttaa causative suffix, mostly by analogy. The denominal suffix may be partially from fi -uus, fi -us quality (suffix forming nouns from adjectives, stem -(u)ut(e)) + fi -taa, but is likely just transferred from the deverbal suffix. Pronunciation * Suffix verb yttää utta fi deverbative Forms causative, curative, or factitive verbs from verbs. fi aivastaa to sneeze aivastuttaa to cause to sneeze fi rakentaa to build rakennuttaa to have something built fi räjähtää to explode, blow up -yttää räjäyttää to blow up, detonate, destroy by exploding fi denominal Forms factitive verbs from nominals. fi nopea fast nopeuttaa to speed up transitive Variant of fi -ttaa with a frequentative nuance, especially used for onomatopoeic or sound-symbolic verbs. Usage notes With fi -ahtaa (momentane) verbs, the final fi -ht- usually disappears entirely (through fi *-ahdutta- > fi *-ahutta- (regular loss in e.g. eastern dialects) > fi *-autta-). This has led to fi -auttaa becoming its own pseudo-suffix. Some derivations, particularly more recent ones, may preserve the fi -hd-.
