-tta

• IPA^(key): /-tːɑ/, [-t̪ːɑ̝]

From Proto-Finnic *-tta, from Proto-Uralic *-pta.

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä, linguistic notation -ttA)

1. Suffix for the abessive case: without

• Suffixed to the genitive stem in the singular, to the same stem as the inessive in the plural.
• Not very commonly used outside of set phrases, especially the singular forms. The only abessive forms still in general use are abessive forms of the third infinitive.
• See the appendix on Finnish nominal cases for more information on how the abessive case is used.

• (without): ilman (+ partitive, preposition), vailla (+ partitive, preposition)

• -ti (has developed into the general abessive case suffix in most Nyland and South Tavastian dialects)

Derived from the assimilated final consonant of the stem, *k or *h, plus the partitive suffix -ta.

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä, linguistic notation -ttA)

1. A suffix for the partitive singular.

• Used predominantly for words whose nominative singular ends in -e and which lengthen that final -e in other singular cases, as well as for ordinal numerals starting from kolmas. Traditionally also for ori.
• See the appendix on Finnish nominal cases for more information on how the partitive case is used.

From Proto-Finnic *-tta, from Proto-Finno-Permic *-kta.

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä, linguistic notation -ttA)

1. Forms certain adverbs, typically of manner.

• -ti

Probably re-extracted from navetta, karjetta, ometta, which may derive from contractions of aitta, which may contain an actual -tta suffix. Apart from it, this suffix is not found in any of the other Finnic languages.

-tta (front vowel harmony variant -ttä, linguistic notation -ttA) (rare)

1. Forms some nouns, generally for places.

Suffixed to the weak stem and appears to cause the final -a- to change to -e- in the same way as -mpi, -ella, -ntaa, -eta do. This may, however, be a gap in data, as karjetta and ometta may both be formed analogously to navetta, and the suffix -tto (which is derived from -tta) does not appear to exhibit this behavior.

• -tto

• IPA^(key): [tːɒ]
