Finnish

Etymology

Most forms derive fromProto-Finnic*oldak,fromProto-Uralic*wole- / *ole-(see it for more). Cognates includeEstonianolema,Erzyaулемс(uľems),Udmurtвань(vań),Northern Samileat,Hungarianvan,volt.The formsonandovatare irregular, with cognates found inKarelianon,Livonianum,Vepsom,Voticon,Võroom/umandommaq/ummaq.The original form ofonwas earlier*om,probably from an earlier*oma;ovatin turn is originally from this form with the plural suffix-tattached and has only later been reanalyzed as containing the standard third-person plural ending-vat.This monosyllabic root*wo- / *o-is likely also the origin of the extended (frequentative) form*wole- / *ole-,with the bare root also emerging in another derivative:oma(“own”).However, the alternative is to posit an irregular loss of-l-in the third-person forms due to it being such a common function word.

The potential forms (lie-) derive fromProto-Finnic*leedäk,from*le-(“to become”),probably from earlierProto-Uralic*lewɜ-.Cognate withKarelianlienöy,Livonianlīdõ,Vepslindä,Northern Samileat,ле-(ľe-)onErzyaлевкс(ľevks),Hungarianlenni/legyek.

Usage notes

• (to have):In this sense, the verbollais always in the third-person singular form, and the possessor is indicated with theadessivecase. Grammatically speaking, the thing owned is the subject complement of the sentence:

  meilläon...―wehave...,teilläon...―youhave...,heilläon...―theyhave...

  silläon...―ithas...

  Lassillaon...―Lassihas...

  kaupungin terveyslautakunnallaon...―the municipal health boardhas...

  • The same applies through all tenses, infinitives and participles (where they make sense), e.g.

    minulla eiolisi ollut...―Iwouldnothave had...

    minulla rupeaaolemaan...―I am beginning tohave...

• The meaning "there be" is rarely used without adverbials (such as those describing a location); it is more common to useolla olemassain such cases.
• For infinitive and participle constructs usingolla,seeAppendix:Finnish verb forms § InfinitivesandAppendix:Finnish participles § Participle constructs.
