-uu (front vowel harmony variant-yy,linguistic notation-UU)
- Forms nouns from verbs.
- evätä(“to deny”) + -uu → epuu(“refusal”)
- hakata(“to beat, chop, cut”) + -uu → hakkuu(“chopping, logging”)
- kerätä(“to collect”) + -uu → keruu(“collecting”)
- This suffix is used for some verbs whose citation form ends in-ata/-ätä.
- The front-harmonic variant-yy is only used when the first vowel of the word is one of the harmonic front vowels-y-,-ä-,-ö-; words beginning with neutral front vowels-e-,-i- take the back-harmonic variant.
- The verbal stem is in the strong grade if applicable.
