aristella

Finnish

Etymology

aristaa +‎ -ella (frequentative aspect)

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ˈɑristelːɑˣ/, [ˈɑ̝ris̠ˌte̞lːɑ̝(ʔ)]
• Rhymes: -elːɑ
• Syllabification^(key): a‧ris‧tel‧la

Verb

aristella

1. (transitive) frequentative of aristaa (“to be very careful with, handle very carefully”)

   aristella silmiään ― to be careful with one's eyes (e.g. to protect them from sunlight etc.)

2. (intransitive) to be shy, be bashful, be timid

Usage notes

• (to be shy, timid, bashful) aristaa and its frequentative derivative aristella are very close in meaning and they can quite freely be used as synonyms, although aristaa tends to refer to the lasting feature of timidity and aristella tends to refer to a single moment where someone is shy.
