| Verbs in the [[Finnish language]] can be divided into six main groups depending on the stem type, both for formal analysis and for teaching the language to non-native speakers. All six types have the same set of personal endings, but the stems assume different suffixes and undergo (slightly) different changes when inflected.

| The present, imperfect, perfect, and pluperfect correspond fairly well to English: "speaks", "spoke", "has spoken", and "had spoken", resp., or in the passive voice, "it is spoken", "it was spoken", "it has been spoken", and "it had been spoken". Note the auxiliary verb ''ei'' used for negation, usually with the naked stem of the main verb, but with the past participle in the negative imperfect. Finnish lacks a true future tense, so normally the present tense must suffice for future time as well.

| The conditional mood corresponds mostly to "would" or "should" or to the past subjunctive in English. (Finnish lacks a subjunctive mood.) The potential mood is rather rare, and corresponds to "may" or "might" in English. The perfect forms of these moods are easily understood as "would have", "should have", "might have", etc.

| | |
| The first and third person imperative forms here correspond to English "let us speak", "let him not speak", "let it not be spoken", etc. The perfect imperative is still valid, if somewhat awkward and contrived, e.g. as in English "let it (not) have been spoken". The first person plural imperative ''puhukaamme'' sounds rather formal and archaic, so in everyday speech, the passive present indicative ''puhutaan'', is used instead, although this may not quite be considered correct. There are many variations of the imperative forms: in old writings, one may also see the forms ''puhukaat'' or ''puhukaatte'' for the second person plural, ''puhukaan'' for the third person plural, or ''puhuttakaan'' for the passive. In the passive or third person, the imperative is sometimes used for the present or perfect [[Subjunctive mood|subjunctive]] of other languages, a [[Grammatical mood|mood]] which is lacking in Finnish.
| |
| | |
| The [[:fi:Liittopreesens|present prospective]] and the [[:fi:Liittoimperfekti|imperfect prospective]] correspond best to "I am to speak" and "I was to speak" in English. It is not correct Finnish to use these tenses in the plural: the plural form of the present participle, ''puhuvat'', would be confusing if used in this sense, as it resembles too closely the third person plural present indicative. Despite the apparently equivalent use of the present participle, the [[grammatical aspect]] of these tenses is [[Prospective aspect|prospective]] rather than [[Continuous and progressive aspects|continuous or progressive]] as in English.
| |
| | |
| ===Verbs of obligation in the agent construction===
| |
| | |
| Verbs of obligation such as ''täytyä'', ''tarvita'', ''pitää'', and ''tulla'', with the meanings "must", "need to", "ought to", "shall", respectively are often used in the agent form of construction in which the verb is not conjugated for person but is in the impersonal third person singular. In this construction
| |
| * the person(s) bearing the obligation is regarded as the 'agent' (not the subject) and is in the genitive case
| |
| * the verb of obligation is in the impersonal <u>third person singular</u> regardless of the plurality and person of the agent.
| |
| * This is followed by another verb or verb phrase in which the verb is in the short from first infinitive (i.e. the dictionary form) and which is then regarded as the sentence's subject.<ref>Pirjo Leino: Suomen kielioppi pg 114 Infinitive Subject. Otava 1989</ref>
| |
| | |
| : Heidä<u>n</u> täyty<u>y</u> puhua minun kanssani = ''They must speak with me'';
| |
| : Minun täytyy puhua heidän kanssansa = ''I must speak with them'';
| |
| : Sinun ei tarvitse tehdä tuota = ''you don't need to do that'';
| |
| : Ei sinun pidä tappaman = ''thou shalt not kill''.<ref>Note the archaic use of the [[instructive case]] of the third infinitive. A common error, even for native Finns, is to confuse this with the illative case, ''tappamaan'', which would be incorrect. Nowadays, the first infinitive is used with ''pitää''</ref>
| |
| : sinun pitäisi tulla huomenna = ''you should come tomorrow''.
| |
| | |
| There is no equivalent of this type of construction in English.
| |
| | |
| The verb ''täytyä'' can only be used in this construction and therefore has no other personal forms. The other verbs can carry personal endings in other forms of construction with normal subject, verb, and object in which the obligation is less strong or in which the verb takes on a different meaning altogether.
| |
| | |
| * (Minä) tarvitsen apua ''I need help''—expressing need without obligation
| |
| * (Minä) pidän hänestä ''I like him/her''—verb has a different meaning

| ==Infinitives and participles==
| |
| In Finnish there are five infinitive forms,<ref>Savolainen, Erkki. [http://www.finnlectura.fi/verkkosuomi/Morfologia/sivu25221.htm Verkkokielioppi: 2.5.2.2.1 Infinitiivit] [http://www.finnlectura.fi/ Finn Lectura] 2001</ref> and past and present participles for both active and passive voices.<ref>Savolainen, Erkki. [http://www.finnlectura.fi/verkkosuomi/Morfologia/sivu25222.htm Verkkokielioppi: 2.5.2.2.2 Partisiipit] [http://www.finnlectura.fi/ Finn Lectura] 2001</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Infinitive I===
| |
| | |
| First infinitive is the dictionary form of the verb, e.g., ''puhu-a'' = "to speak" (stem ''puhu''), and it corresponds in meaning and function to the English infinitive introduced by the particle "to". The suffix of the first infinitive depends on the type of the verb stem. With so-called "vowel" stems, (see verbs of Type I, below), the first infinitive suffix is ''-a''/''-ä'', whereas with "consonantal" stems, (e.g., Types IV-VI), the suffix is most often ''-ta''/''-tä''. With vowel stems that consist of a single open syllable ending in a long vowel or a [[diphthong]], or longer stems that end in such syllables, (Type II), the infinitive suffix is ''-da''/''-dä'', e.g., ''saa-da'' = "to get", ''syö-dä'' = "to eat", ''reagoi-da'' = "to react". The first infinitive of consonantal stems always has the weak [[consonant gradation|consonant grade]] in the stem, e.g., ''ka'''''r'''''ata'' = "to flee" < stem ''ka'''''rk'''''aa-''.
| |
| | |
| First infinitive can be used in a sentence similarly to the English infinitive, standing for a subject or a direct object, without any additional inflection. It is also [[Case government|governed]] by [[modal verb]]s like ''saattaa'' "might" or ''voida'' "be able to", e.g., ''saattaa mennä'' = "might go" or ''voi hakea'' = "can fetch".
| |
| | |
| First infinitive has a so-called "long form", having the ending of the nominal [[translative case]] and an obligatory possessive suffix. The long form is usually associated with the literary register. It connotes either extent or intent. Examples:
| |
| :''muista-a'' = "to remember"; ''muista-a-kse-ni'' = "as far as I can remember" (extent), or "in order that I might remember" (intent), lit. "for my remembering".
| |
| :''näh-dä'' = "to see"; ''näh-dä-kse-en'' = "as far as he/she/it/they can see" (extent), "so that they could see" (intent).
| |
| In spoken Finnish, intent is often expressed with the short form infinitive if the subject is implicit or understood by context, or more explicitly with a subordinate clause containing a conditional verb, e.g., ''että minä muistaisin''. Nevertheless, the long form is still used to signify extent; another example: ''tietä-ä'' = "to know", ''tietä-ä-kse-ni'' = "as far as I know".
| |
| | |
| The first infinitive does not generally take on any inflected forms. It appears only in the short (dictionary) form and in the long form, and the long form is not used without a possessive suffix.
| |
| | |
| ===Infinitive II===
| |
| | |
| Second infinitive may be formed from the first infinitive by replacing the final 'a/ä' with an 'e'. It occurs in the [[instructive]] and [[inessive]] cases. If the second infinitive has a subject, then the subject is put in the genitive case; in the inessive case the second infinitive also accepts a possessive suffix if appropriate.
| |
| | |
| The instructive form conveys manner of action, corresponding approximately with "-ing" or "-ingly" in English, less commonly with "-ande/ende" in Swedish, and very commonly with "-ant" in French. It is parallel in function and meaning to the Russian [[adverbial participle]] (as opposed to the [[adjectival participle]]). Examples:
| |
| :''tietä'''en''''' = "knowingly" (instructive);
| |
| :''tietä'''en''''', että hänen täytyisi puhua'' = "knowing that he would have to speak" = ''sach'''ant''' qu'il aurait besoin de parler'' in French = ''зна'''я''', что ему следовало бы говорить'' in Russian
| |
| :'näin puhu'''en'''' = "thus speaking" (instructive);
| |
| | |
| The inessive form conveys co-terminal action; i.e. something happening at the same time as something else; more properly seen as some action whose accomplishment simultaneously brings about the accomplishment of something else. It corresponds approximately in English to the use of "when", "while", or the somewhat archaic or British) "whilst"; strict co-terminality is still expressed in English with "in", (or "by",) the present participle "-ing", and any subject in the possessive case, in a manner exactly analogous to the Finnish, and similarly in French with "''en''" and the present participle "''-ant''". Examples
| |
| | |
| :''kuoll'''essa''''' = "in dying" or "while dying" = ''en mour'''ant''''' in French (inessive) = ''умира'''я''''' in Russian
| |
| :''Varas iski uhrin syöd'''essä''' aamupalaa'' = "The thief struck whilst the victim was eating breakfast"
| |
| | |
| The inessive of this infinitive also has a passive form:
| |
| :''tiede'''ttäessä''''' = "in being known", said of some fact;
| |
| but this is ambiguous and could be taken for the active inessive infinitive II of the [[causative]] ''tiedettää'', "to make (someone) know"
| |
| :''tiedettä'''essä''''' = "in making (someone) know" or "in making (some fact) known".
| |
| | |
| ===Infinitive III===
| |
| | |
| The third infinitive is formed by adding the ending ''-ma/mä'' to the hard grade of the present stem, (described below.) It is a noun in its own right, denoting "the act" of a verb, and thus it is fully declineable as a noun, but some of the cases have special or commonly understood meanings. The [[illative]] of the third infinitive is a common [[inchoative]], governed by such verbs as ''ruveta'' and ''joutua'': | |
| :''hän rupesi saarnaa'''maan''''' = "he began to preach".
| |
| The [[elative]] is used in the sense of forbidding or discouraging an action.
| |
| :''poikia kiellettiin poltta'''masta''''' = "the boys were forbidden from smoking"
| |
| The [[adessive]] (often with a possessive suffix) is used in the sense of being "just about to" do something, equivalent to the French expression "''sur le point de (faire quelque chose)''".
| |
| | |
| ===Infinitive IV===
| |
| The fourth infinitive is formed just like the third, but with the ending ''-minen'', which is declined like all other Finnish nouns in ''-nen''. It is also a noun, but its meaning is more "the process" rather than the very act of a verb. This often corresponds to "-ation" words in English:
| |
| :''käy'''minen''''' = "(the process of) going", which can mean "fermentation" among other things.
| |
| The use of this form as a proper infinitive, rather than an "action noun" is generally restricted to forms such as the following, where it implies a sort of obligation:
| |
| :''minun on teke'''minen''' jotakin'' = "it is up to me to do something"
| |
| :''on teke'''minen''' jotakin'' = "something ought to be done"
| |
| :''heidän ei ole kysy'''mistä''' ...'' = "theirs is not to ask ..."
| |
| :''tästä ei ole puhu'''mista''''' = "this is not to be spoken of";
| |
| or this construction, where the finite verb is repeated in the partitive with a possessive suffix: | |
| :''hän puhui puhu'''mistaan''''' = "he talked and talked".
| |
| | |
| ===Infinitive V===
| |
| The rarely used fifth infinitive is a "diminutive" of the third infinitive. It is apparently used only in the [[Adessive case|adessive]] plural with a possessive suffix, indicating that at some point in time the action of the verb is "but little" accomplished:
| |
| :''olin puhu'''maisillani''''' = "I was just starting to speak".
| |
| | |
| ===Present participles===
| |
| | |
| ====Active====
| |
| The active present participle is formed by adding ''-va/vä'' to the hard grade of the present indicative stem of the verb.
| |
| :''tule'''va'''t päivät ovat tuulisia'' = "the coming days are (going to be) windy"
| |
| (In the nominative plural this form nearly always coincides with the third person plural present indicative.)
| |
| | |
| ====Passive====
| |
| There is also a passive present participle formed by adding the same ending to the passive stem.
| |
| :''puhu'''ttava''''' = "to be spoken of"
| |
| This form is also ambiguous: it could equally well be the active present participle of the [[causative]] ''puhuttaa'', "to cause (someone) to speak", thus:
| |
| :''puhutta'''va''''' = (active) "making (someone) speak"
| |
| :''puhute'''ttava''''' = (passive) "being made to speak"
| |
| | |
| ===Past participles===
| |
| | |
| ====Active====
| |
| The active past participle is usually formed by adding ''-nut/nyt'' to the short stem, omitting any [[epenthetic]] vowel. Verbs of type III (ending in ''-lla/llä'', ''-rra/rrä'', and ''-sta/stä'') assimilate the ''n'' of this ending, thus:
| |
| :''tul'''lut''''' = "(one that has) come";
| |
| :''pur'''rut''''' = "(one that has) bitten";
| |
| :''pes'''syt''''' = "(one that has) washed".
| |
| The stem of the active past participle, for all other cases but the nominative singular, ends in ''-nee-'', which may be likewise assimilated. See tables of conjugation.
| |
| | |
| ====Passive====
| |
| The passive past participle has the ending ''-tu/ty'' or ''-ttu/tty'' to the soft grade of the stem. For a verb of type I, a final '''''-a/ä-''''' of the stem is replaced by '''''-e-''''' for the passive past participle.
| |
| : ''ant'''a'''a'' = "to give"; ''ann'''e'''ttu'' = "(that has been) given".
| |
| The passive past participle is subject to [[consonant gradation]]:
| |
| :''tt'' → ''t'';
| |
| and for verbs of type III:
| |
| :''lt'' → ''ll'',<math>\quad</math> ''nt'' → ''nn'',<math>\quad</math> ''rt'' → ''rr'', <math>\quad</math> ''st'' → ''st''.
| |
| | |
| : ''anne'''ttu''''' = (that has been) given; ''anne'''tut''''' = "(that have been) given", (pl.);
| |
| : ''pur'''tu''''' "(one that has been) bitten", graded as ''pur'''ru-''''', e.g. ''pur'''run''''' "of that which has been bitten".
| |
| : ''pes'''ty''''' = "(that has been) washed", unchanged in soft grade, e.g. ''pes'''tyt''' hiukset'' = "hair that has been washed" (pl. of ''hius'', "a single hair").
| |
| | |
| =====Derived passive forms=====
| |
| Without exception, all other passive forms of the verb may be derived from the passive past participle in a regular manner, by replacing the final ''-u/y'' with the following endings:
| |
| * in the hard grade:
| |
| ** ''''-iin':''' passive imperfect; ''annettiin'' "was given"
| |
| ** ''''-ava':''': passive present participle; ''annettava'' "that which is (to be) given"
| |
| ** ''''-aisiin/äisiin':''' passive conditional; ''annettaisiin'' "would be given"
| |
| ** ''''-aisi/äisi':''' passive conditional connegative with [[negative verb]] ''ei''; ''ei annettaisi'' "would not be given"
| |
| ** ''''-aneen/äneen':''' passive potential; ''annettaneen'' "might be given"
| |
| ** ''''-ane/äne':''' passive potential connegative; ''ei annettane'' "might not be given"
| |
| ** ''''-akoon/äköön', '-akaan/äkään':''' passive imperative; ''annettakoon'' "shall be given"
| |
| ** ''''-ako/äkö':''' passive imperative connegative; ''ei annettako'' "shall not be given"
| |
| * in the soft grade:
| |
| **''''-aan/ään':''' passive present indicative; ''annetaan'' "is given"
| |
| **''''-a/ä':''' passive present indicative connegative with negative verb ''ei''; ''ei anneta'' "is not given".

| ==Type I verbs==
| |
| | |
| These are verbs whose infinitive forms end in vowel + ''a/ä'', for example ''puhua'' = "to speak", ''tietää'' = "to know". This group contains a very large number of verbs. Here is how ''tietää'' conjugates in the present indicative:
| |
| | |
| :''minä tiedä'''n''''' = '''I''' know
| |
| :''sinä tiedä'''t''''' = '''you''' (singular) know
| |
| :''hän/se tiet'''ää''''' = '''(s)he/it''' knows
| |
| :''me tiedä'''mme''''' = '''we''' know
| |
| :''te tiedä'''tte''''' = '''you''' (plural/formal) know
| |
| :''he/ne tietä'''vät''''' = '''they''' know
| |
| | |
| The personal endings are ''-n'', ''-t'', ''-(doubled final vowel)'', ''-mme'', ''-tte'', ''-vat''. The inflecting stem is formed by dropping the final ''-a/ä'' of the infinitive, and has a strong-grade consonant in the third-person forms and weak-grade elsewhere. Note that for third person plural, this is an exception to the general rule for strong grade.
| |
| | |
| ===Past Tense===
| |
| | |
| In the simple case (which applies to most type I verbs), the imperfect indicative is formed by inserting the characteristic marker ''i'' between the stem and the personal endings, which are the same as in the present tense except that the vowel does '''not''' double in the 3rd person singular:
| |
| :''puhu'''n''''' = "I speak", ''puhu'''in''''' = 'I spoke'
| |
| :''puhu'''t''''' = "you speak", ''puhu'''it''''' = 'you spoke'
| |
| :''puhu'''u''''' = "(he) speaks", ''puhu'''i''''' = '(he) spoke'
| |
| :''puhu'''mme''''' = "we speak", ''puhu'''imme''''' = 'we spoke' and so on.
| |
| | |
| However, the insertion of the ''i'' often has an effect on the stem. Of type I verbs, one notable exception is ''tietää'':
| |
| :''tiedän'' = 'I know', ''tiesin'' = 'I knew'
| |
| | |
| ''ymmärtää'' = 'to understand' also follows this pattern. Changes of stem for other verb types will be discussed in the relevant sections below.
| |
| | |
| ===Passive===
| |
| | |
| ;Present passive: The present passive is formed by adding ''-taan'' to the inflecting stem of the verb with the consonant in its weak form:
| |
| :puhua <math>\rightarrow</math> puhu- <math>\rightarrow</math> puhutaan
| |
| :If the vowel at the end of the stem is ''a'' or ''ä'' it is changed to ''e'' before the ''-taan'' ending:
| |
| :tietää <math>\rightarrow</math> tiedä- <math>\rightarrow</math> tiede <math>\rightarrow</math> tiedetään
| |
| | |
| ;Past passive: This is formed in the same way as the present passive, except that the ending is ''-ttiin'', hence ''puhuttiin'' = 'it was spoken', ''tiedettiin'' = 'it was known'.
| |
| :Note the presence of the same ''i'' marker in the past passive as in the imperfect indicative. Note also the presence of the extra ''t''.
| |
| | |
| ;Conditional passive: This is formed in the same way as the present passive, except that the ending is ''-ttaisiin'', hence ''puhuttaisiin'' = 'it would be spoken', ''tiedettäisiin'' = 'it would be known'.
| |
| :Note the presence of the ''isi'' conditional marker.
| |
| | |
| ;Potential passive: This is formed in the same way as the present passive, except that the ending is ''-ttaneen'', hence ''puhuttaneen'' = 'it may be spoken', ''tiedettäneen'' = 'it may be known'.
| |
| :Note the presence of the ''ne'' potential marker.
| |
| | |
| ==Type II verbs==
| |
| | |
| Verbs whose first infinitive ends in vowel + ''da'', for example ''juoda'' = 'to drink', ''syödä'' = 'to eat'. This is a fairly large group of verbs, partly because one way in which foreign borrowings are incorporated into the Finnish verb paradigms is to add ''oida'', for example, ''organisoida'' = 'to organise'.
| |
| | |
| Another important verb of this type is ''voida'' = 'to be able/allowed to'.
| |
| | |
| The stem is formed by removing ''da'' with no vowel doubling in the third person singular: juon, juot, juo, juomme, juotte, juovat.
| |
| | |
| ===Imperfect indicative===
| |
| For these verbs whose stems end in two vowels, the '''first''' of the vowels is lost when the ''i'' is added in the imperfect:
| |
| ''juon = 'I drink', ''join'' = 'I drank' etc.
| |
| | |
| There is an exception to this rule if the stem already ends in an ''i'' - for example ''voida'' or the ''-oida'' verbs mentioned earlier. In this case the stem does not change between present and imperfect indicative, so the imperfect forms are the same as the present forms, and the distinction between them must be made from context.
| |
| | |
| ===Passive===
| |
| Passives in this group are formed in the same way as for group II verbs:
| |
| :syödä <math>\rightarrow</math> syödään, syötiin, syötäisiin
| |
| :juoda <math>\rightarrow</math> juodaan, juotiin, juotaisiin
| |
| | |
| ==Type III verbs==
| |
| | |
| These are verbs whose first infinitive ends in two consonants + ''a'', for example ''mennä'' = 'to go'. Another way of looking at these verbs is that they have verb stems ending in a consonant to which a vowel must be added (either e for the singular or i for the plural) before the personal ending. The final consonant of the stem is generally emphasised by length of pronunciation in the infinitive and participle forms and orthographically written as a double consonant. Where the consonant ending of the stem is -s, however, the dictionary form of the verb ends with -stä or -sta. This is another large group of verbs.
| |
| | |
| ===Present indicative===
| |
| The stem is formed by removing the ''a'' and its preceding consonant. Then add ''e'' followed by the personal endings: menen, menet, menee, menemme, menette, menevät.
| |
| | |
| ===Imperfect indicative===
| |
| The ''i'' of the imperfect is added directly to the stem formed as for the present tense, then the personal endings are added:
| |
| ''pestä'' = 'to clean', ''pesen'' = 'I clean', ''pesin'' = 'I cleaned' etc.
| |
| | |
| ===Passive===
| |
| ;Present passive: In this group, the passive has the same ''-aan'' ending as for group I verbs, but no ''t''; the easiest way to form the passive is to extend the vowel on the end of the first infinitive and then add ''n'':
| |
| | |
| :mennä <math>\rightarrow</math> mennään
| |
| | |
| All other forms of the passive are related to the present passive in the same way as for type I verbs, including the 'extra t', except that since there was no ''t'' to start with, the passive forms only have one! Also the double consonant before the ending becomes single.
| |
| | |
| :mennä <math>\rightarrow</math> mennään <math>\rightarrow</math> mentiin, mentäisiin
| |
| :olla <math>\rightarrow</math> ollaan <math>\rightarrow</math> oltiin (see below), oltaisiin
| |
| | |
| ==Type IV verbs==
| |
| | |
| This, and the following two groups, have the first infinitive that ends in a vowel + ''ta/tä''. Most commonly, type IV verbs end with ''ata/ätä'', ''ota/ötä'', ''uta/ytä'', but other vowels are possible. Examples are ''tavata'' = "to meet", ''pilkata'' = "to mock", ''vastata'' = "to answer", ''haluta'' = "to want", ''tarjota'' = "to offer".
| |
| | |
| The stem used in present indicative conjucation is formed by dropping the ''-ta/-tä'' suffix from the infinitive form and adding ''a/ä''. In conjugation, the normal personal ending is added; the final vowel is doubled in the 3rd person singular, unless the stem already ends in ''aa/ää'':
| |
| :''halua-n, halua-t, halua-a, halua-mme, halua-tte, halua-vat''
| |
| :''tapaa-n, tapaat, tapaa, tapaa-mme'', etc.
| |
| :''pilkkaa-n, pilkkaa-t, pilkkaa, pilkkaa-mme'', etc.
| |
| :''vastaa-n, vastaa-t, vastaa, vastaa-mme'', etc.
| |
| :''tarjoa-n, tarjoa-t, tarjoa-a, tarjoa-mme'', etc.
| |
| | |
| The consonant in the stem appears in strong grade.
| |
| | |
| ===Imperfect indicative===
| |
| | |
| The imperfect stem can be obtained from the infinitive by changing the final ''t'' to ''s'', followed by the usual imperfect marker ''i''; the stem consonant appears in strong grade. Examples with personal endings: ''halusi-n'' = "I wanted", ''tapasi-t'' = "we met", ''vastasi'', "he answered", etc. | |
| | |
| ===Passive===
| |
| | |
| Passives in this type are formed in the same fashion as for type I verbs; as in type I, the stem consonant appears in the weak grade. Examples:
| |
| :''haluta'' <math>\rightarrow</math> halutaan, haluttiin, haluttaisiin
| |
| :''tavata'' <math>\rightarrow</math> tavataan, tavattiin, tavattaisiin
| |
| :''vastata'' <math>\rightarrow</math> vastataan, vastattu, vastattiin, etc.
| |
| | |
| ==Type V verbs==
| |
| | |
| All the verbs in this groups have infinitives ending in ''ita/itä''. This type has few members; ''tarvita'' = "to need" is a common example.
| |
| | |
| The indicative stem may be obtained by dropping the final ''a'' and adding 'se': tarvitsen, tarvitset, tarvitsee, tarvitsemme, tarvitsette, tarvitsevat.
| |
| | |
| ===Imperfect indicative===
| |
| ''-si'' takes the place of ''-se'', but in the third-person singular, there is only one vowel, e.g.:
| |
| :''tarvitsin, tarvitsit, tarvitsi, tarvitsimme, tarvitsitte, tarvitsivat''
| |
| | |
| ===Passive===
| |
| The passive forms of these verbs are built just like those of type IV, since both types end in -ta:
| |
| :valita <math>\rightarrow</math> valitaan, valittiin, valittaisiin
| |
| :merkitä <math>\rightarrow</math> merkitään, merkittiin, merkittäisiin
| |
| | |
| ==Type VI verbs==
| |
| | |
| Almost all verbs of this type have infinitives ending in 'eta' (notable exceptions being ''parata'' = "to improve/become better" and ''huonota'' = "to deteriorate/become worse". There are not many verbs which fall into this category, and these don't tend to be commonly used. However, it is a fairly common route for turning adjectives into verbs; for example ''kylmä'' = "cold", ''kylmetä'' = "to get cold".
| |
| | |
| The present stem for this type is characterized by the insertion of ''ne'' after the infinitive stem; as a consequence, the final syllable of the stem is open, and hence the final consonant of the stem is in strong grade. Examples:
| |
| :''rohje-ta' = "to dare"
| |
| ::''rohkene'''n''''' = "I dare"
| |
| ::''rohkene'''t''''' = "you dare"
| |
| ::''rohkene'''e''''' = 'he/she/it dares' etc.
| |
| :''pae-ta'' = "to escape", ''pakene'''n''''' = "I escape"
| |
| :''kylme-tä'' = "to get cold", ''kylmene'''n''''' = "I get cold"
| |
| :''para-ta'' = "to improve" (intransitive), ''parane'''n''''' = "I improve"
| |
| | |
| ===Imperfect indicative===
| |
| | |
| The imperfect indicative of this type of verb is formed by replacing the final "e" of the "ne" stem with the imperfect marker "i". Thus:
| |
| ::''rohkeni'''n''''' = "I dared"
| |
| ::''rohkeni'''t''''' = "you dared"
| |
| ::''rohkeni'' = "he/she/it dared" etc.
| |
| | |
| ===Passive===
| |
| | |
| Passives of this type are formed in the same way as for type IV verbs.
| |
| | |
| ==Non-derivable and irregular stems==
| |
| | |
| Standard Finnish has comparatively very few irregular verbs in addition to 'olla' discussed above. However, because the infinitive is an inflected form of the root, the [[consonant gradation]] may obscure the root. The root of the word 'juosta' = 'to run' is ''juoks-''; when generating the infinitive, the pattern ''ks'' → ''s'' is applied: ''juoks+ta'' → ''juosta''. Epenthetic 'e' is added for personal forms, e.g. ''juoksen''.
| |
| | |
| There is a rare pattern where a stem with ''-k-'' is rendered as ''-hdä'' in the infinitive, but disappears in gradation, e.g.:
| |
| :'tehdä' = 'to do, make': tee-; teen, teet, tekee, teemme, teette, tekevät, etc.
| |
| :'nähdä' = 'to see': näe-; näen, näet, näkee, näemme, näette, näkevät, etc.
| |
| That is, ''teke-'' and ''näke-'' forms are rendered as ''tehdä'' and ''nähdä'' in the infinitive but are subject to gradation of 'k' in personal forms like ''teen''. In some colloquial forms, the 'e' is rendered as a chroneme instead: ''nään'' instead of ''näen'' etc.
| |
| | |
| [[Spoken Finnish|Spoken language]] adds some more irregular verbs by assimilative deletion, e.g.:
| |
| :tulla - tule - tuu
| |
| :mennä - mene - mee
| |
| :panna - pane - paa
| |
| :olla - ole - oo
