-ita

1. See-it-

FromProto-Finnic*-it'ak, fromProto-Uralic*-ńće-,*-nśe- (probably akin to the diminutive ending-ise-). The original stem before preceding endings other than original*-et-, is*-icc- (e.g.*valic'en,*valiccepi, but*valit'ak). However, potential forms were replaced with ones in-nn- by semi-regular sound changes, intensified by degemination of-cc- to-c- and later assimilation to-n- (cf.*saictak → potential*sainni).

-ita (front vowel harmony variant-itä,stem-itse-,linguistic notation-itse-or-itA)

1. Formsinstrumental verbs from nouns.

   ‎naula(“nail”) + ‎-ita → ‎naulita(“to nail down”)

   ‎lääke(“medicine”) + ‎-ita → ‎lääkitä(“to medicate”)

2. Forms some verbs indicating acting in a capacity or a profession.

   ‎tulkki(“interpreter”) + ‎-ita → ‎tulkita(“to interpret”)

3. Forms various other verbs from nouns or adjectives.

   ‎tarve(“need”) + ‎-ita → ‎tarvita(“to need”)

   ‎villi(“wild”) + ‎-ita → ‎villitä(“to drive wild”)

• Verbs with this suffix show the weak grade of consonant gradation in the stem, where applicable.
• In many cases, derived verbs exist alongside verbs ending in-ia or-(o)ta, e.g.himoita(“to lust”) besidehimota fromhimo(“lust”), archaicleikitä(“to play”) besideleikkiä fromleikki(“play”). It is unclear if these instances are derived directly from the base nouns or aspleonastic derivatives from the shorter verbs.^[1]

FromProto-Finnic*-it'ak. Roughly equivalent to-i- +-ta; compare-ittaa.
