Usage notes
Frequently added to Latinate verbs ending in ru -и́ровать, ru -ова́ть or ru -овать, where it replaces the entire suffix. It is often difficult to tell native Russian formations of this sort from those where a Latinate foreign noun ending in en -ation, fr -ation, it -azione, etc. was borrowed directly.
