EsperantoEdit
EtymologyEdit
The Esperanto suffixes -as, -is, -os, -us are related, and appear to have been inspired by previous language projects:
- This play of vowels is not an original idea of Zamenhof's: -as, -is, -os are found for the three tenses of the infinitive in Faiguet's system of 1765; -a, -i, -o without a consonant are used like Z's -as, -is, -os by Rudelle (1858); Courtonne in 1885 had -am, -im, -om in the same values, and the similarity with Esperanto is here even more perfect than in the other projects, as -um corresponds to Z's -us. —An International Language (1928)
SuffixEdit
-os
- will; ending of future tense in verbs.
- Mi iros al la vendejo. ― I will go to the store.
FinnishEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Proto-Finnic *-os. Equivalent to -o + -s, or re-extracted from verbs with stems ending in o.
PronunciationEdit
SuffixEdit
-os (front vowel harmony variant -ös)
- Forms nouns denoting the result of the action of a verb.
Usage notesEdit
Roots with the neutral front vowels e, i take the back-vocalic allomorph -os (e.g. piirtää (“to draw”) → piirros (“drawing”)). The form -ös is only used when the first syllable of the root contains a front rounded vowel (e.g. näyttää (“to show”) → näytös (“act”)).
