Suffix

edit

-si

  1. (possessive) Second-person singular possessive suffix used with or without sinun (the genitive form of the personal pronoun sinä): your sg, thy
    (sinun) kirjasi ― your book
    1. (possessive) Appended to a genitive-requiring postposition that is after or without sinun: you sg, thee
      (sinun) edessäsi ― in front of you
      (sinun) takanasi ― behind you
    2. (possessive) Used in a participle structure replacing an että clause, preceded by a verb expressing e.g. telling, claiming, asserting, confirming, thinking, wish, desire, seeming, when the clauses have the same subject "you" (addressing one person); appended to the active present participle in genitive singular when the action is concurrent with the main clause.
      Sanoit tekeväsi läksyjäsi. (similar to the Latin structure accusativus cum infinitivo, e.g. se dicit facere)
      You said that you were doing your homework.
    3. (possessive) Used in a participle structure replacing an että clause, preceded by a verb expressing e.g. telling, claiming, asserting, confirming, thinking, wish, desire, seeming, when the clauses have the same subject "you" (addressing one person); appended to the active past participle in genitive singular when the said/alleged (etc.) action antedates the main clause.
      Väitit tehneesi läksyjäsi.
      You claimed to have been doing your homework.
    4. (possessive) Used in a shortened sentence expressing concurrent actions when the clauses have the same subject "you" (addressing one person), appended to the inessive of the active second infinitive.
      Tehdessäsi läksyjäsi (sinä) kuulit laukauksen ulkoa.
      (While) doing your homework, you heard a shot from outside.
    5. (possessive) Used in a shortened sentence expressing subsequent actions when the clauses have the same subject "you" (addressing one person), appended to the partitive of the passive past participle singular.
      Tehtyäsi läksysi (sinä) kuulit laukauksen ulkoa.
      (After) having done / After doing your homework, you heard a shot from outside.
    6. (possessive) Used in a final shortened sentence expressing "in order to do" when the clauses have the same subject "you" (addressing one person), appended to the long first infinitive.
      Tehdäksesi läksysi hyvin (sinä) menit hiljaiseen huoneeseen.
      (In order) to do your homework well, you went into a quiet room.
    7. (possessive) Used in some adverbs, when the clause has the subject "you" (addressing one person).
      Olit hyvin pahoillasi siitä.
      You were very sorry about it.
    8. (possessive) Always appended to a noun in the comitative case when the clause has the subject "you" (addressing one person).
      Kävelit kirjoinesi ovesta ulos.
      You walked with your books out the door.

Usage notes

edit
  • The possessive suffix -si is compulsory in standard Finnish. The genitive form of the corresponding personal pronoun sinä before the main word can, depending on the context, be sometimes omitted in written language if the sentence remains fluent. In colloquial Finnish, the suffix -si is very rare and only the genitive form sinun (or its colloquial or dialectal variants) is used before the main word.
  • Appended to the (strong) vowel stem. The final -n of the genitive and illative singular and plural or the -t of the nominative plural are omitted, for example: talo (“house”) > taloon (“into a/the house”) > taloosi (“into your house”).
  • The shortened sentences — except for the participle structures — pertain mainly to formal/standard Finnish, not to informal/colloquial Finnish. It is also to be noticed that the shortened clauses are never separated from the main clauses with a comma.

Usage notes

edit
  • Appended to present active infinitive verb forms to derive reflexive forms with a third person object. Also appended to the present indicative of some verb to derive their passive forms. The final -e of the original infinitive is removed before the reflexive suffix is added.

Where the verb ends in -rre, the final re is removed, leaving behind just an -r:

introdurre (“to introduce”) → introdursi (“to introduce oneself; to sneak into”)

In any case, after the suffixation, there is only a single r and no vowels immediately before -si.

When the verb is referred to a first person or second person object, -si is substituted with:

-mi when the object is first singular person;
-ti when the object is second singular person;
-ci when the object is first plural person;
-vi when the object is second plural person;

Suffix

-si (Jawi spelling -سي)

  1. (unproductive) -tion; -sion.

Usage notes
edit

This is used in newer adaptations of English loanwords ending in -tion and -sion in an effort to make the ending of such words uniform with its Dutch-derived counterparts in Indonesian. Previously, the suffix in words of this kind were adapted as -sen and -syen (e.g. as in posyen for potion).

Etymology 2

edit

Borrowed from English -cy, from Anglo-Norman -cie, ultimately from Latin -cia, -tia, Ancient Greek -κια (-kia), -τια (-tia), originally variants of Latin -ia and Ancient Greek -ια (-ia), -ία (-ía) or -εια (-eia).
