Suffix
-ee
Usage notes
- Predominant type in the Tavastian and Savonian dialects. Well preserved even in urban speech.
- Used in the same way as the standard -ea: e.g. korkee "high", standard korkea.
- Especially in the Savonian dialects, shorter words with the suffix are subject to consonant gemination: pimeä > pimmee.
Latin
Pronunciation
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /e.e/, [eɛ]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /e.e/, [eː]
Suffix
Manx
Etymology
From Old Irish -igidir (whence also Irish -igh and Scottish Gaelic -ich), originally a denominative verb formative, from Proto-Celtic *-sagyetor; compare Welsh -hau.
Pronunciation
Suffix
-ee
- Suffix used to form verbs from nouns.
Usage notes
- Affixed verbs ending in -ee form a sizeable number of verbs. Some monosyllabic verbs in Manx (which historically are not from affixes), however, are not a result of affixation, such as niee "to wash".
