1. times;formsadverbial numerals.
   • 1571,Alonso de Molina,Vocabulario en lengua castellana y mexicana y mexicana y castellana,f. 120v:

     ¶Para dezir vna vez, foz vezes, tres vezes . &c. dizen deſta manera. / ¶Vnavez. ceppa. / Dosvezes. oppa. / Tres vezes. yexpa. / […] / ¶Y aſsi de todos los otros numeros menores y / mayores, poniendo alcabo eſta ſyllaba,pa.

     To say once, twice, thrice, etc. they say in the following manner: Once. ceppa. / Twice. oppa. / Thrice. yexpa. / […] / And so on for all the other numbers, lesser and greater, placing at the end this syllable:pa.

   ēyi(“three”) →ēxpa(“thrice”)

   mācuilli(“five”) →mācuilpa(“five times”)

   chicōme(“seven”) →chicōppa(“seven times”)

The consonantal sound of the syllable of the base numeral adjacent to-pa undergoesregressiveassimilation (where a consonantal sound assimilates into the one that follows it) in some situations:

• -m becomesp:

  cē(“one”) —(combining formcen-, andcem- beforep and vowels) →ceppa(“once”)

  ōme(“two”) —(combining formōn-, andōm- beforep and vowels) →ōppa(“twice”)

  chicōme(“seven”) —(derived fromōme) →chicōppa(“seven times”)

• -uh becomesp:

  nāhui(“four”) —(combining formnāuh-) →nāppa(“four times”)

  chiucnāhui(“nine”) —(derived fromnāhui) →chiucnāppa(“nine times”)

• IPA^(key):[-pa]

-pa

1. directions;Signifies direction or movement relative to an object, bothfrom andto depending on directional context or affixes on the verb.

   Mēxihco(“Mexico, Mexico City”) →Mēxihcopa(“to Mexico, from Mexico”)

   cān(“where”) →cāmpa(“where to”)

   -huīc(“facing”) →-pahuīc(“in the direction of”)

Unlike relational suffixes such as-tlan,-pan, or-tech, this suffix cannot attach to possessive prefixes to form relations. However, it can combine with these suffixes on both nouns and possessives, forming directional suffixes with specific directions.

• -tech(“against, on”) →-techpa(“towards/from the side of, to/off the surface of”)

  mo-(“2nd singular possessive”) +-techpa →motechpa(“onto/off of you”)

• -pan(“above, on”) →-pampa(“for, for the sake of”)

  īn-(“3nd plural possessive”) +-pampa →īmpampa(“for them”)

• -co(“at, on”) →-copa(“about, in the manner of”)

  Otontlahtōlli(“Otomi language”) +-copa →Otontlahtōlcopa(“about Otomi, (spoken) in Otomi”)

FromProto-Finnic*-pa(clitic) (see it for more).

• (when surprised or astonished; when proud or boasting): By changing the tone of voice, the sentences can be turned into ironic statements.
• As seen above, this particle is used in subjective impressions or opinions, or to soften commands, and thus it is used especially in spoken language. It can, depending on the context, have several meanings that, in English, can usually be expressed only by accentuating the words differently or by adding extra words.
• Note also that this particle is always appended to either the first or the second word of the clause.
• In everyday speech, this particle may be used even when there is no intention to give the message a nuance, in which case the particle does not affect the meaning.
• When added to words ending in-n, the pronunciation usually shifts to-m- (-np- >-mp- is a commonsandhi phenomenon), such askunpa being pronouncedkumpa. In informal settings, the word may also be spelled with-mp- to reflect this, but that is considered nonstandard.

• (when surprised at something, stronger than -pa)-han

• -kin
• -kaan
• -han
• -ko
• -s

The original strong grade of the present active participle suffix-va.

• IPA^(key):/-pɑ/,[-pɑ̝]

-pa (front vowel harmony variant-pä,linguistic notation-pA)(rare)

1. Forms adjectives or nouns of a very limited amount of verbs.

   ‎käydä(“to be suitable”) + ‎-pa → ‎käypä(“current,going;valid;popular;suitable,fitting”)(doublet ofkäyvä(“that which or who suits, goes”))

   ‎syödä(“to eat”) + ‎-pa → ‎syöpä(“cancer”)(doublet ofsyövä(“that which or who eats”))

   ‎juoda(“to drink”) + ‎-pa → ‎juopa(“streak”)(doublet ofjuova(“that which or who drinks”))

   ‎suoda(“to give, allow, permit, grant”) + ‎-pa → ‎-suopa(“quality of having an intent or will towards others”,inpahansuopa(“malevolent”))(doublet ofsuova(“that which or who allows or permits”))

• Historically, this suffix is the older form of the active present participle suffix-va/-vä after stressed syllables, though no longer used in that function in standard Finnish. Some words have preserved the original suffix due to having changed their meaning. Therefore, e.g.käypä is originally the active present participle ofkäydä, which was later replaced bykäyvä.
