ajaa

== Finnish == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *ajadak, from Proto-Uralic *aja-. Cognates include Estonian ajama and Northern Sami vuodjit. Has also been compared with Erzya айгемс (ajgems, “to move sth”) (which may be derived from Proto-Mordvinic *ajə-). Probably an old borrowing from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eǵ- or one of its descendants; see the Proto-Uralic entry for more. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑjɑːˣ/, [ˈɑ̝jɑ̝ː(ʔ)] Rhymes: -ɑjɑː Syllabification(key): a‧jaa Hyphenation(key): ajaa === Verb === ajaa (transitive) to drive, ride, travel (in a vehicle), transport (e.g. in a car) ajaa autoa ― to drive a car ajaa polkupyörällä ― to ride a bike ajaa ylinopeutta ― to speed (drive at a speed faster than the speed limit) rekat ajavat hiekkaa ― the trucks are transporting sand used of several other forms of movement ajaa kilpaa / ajaa rallia ― to race (rally) ajaa yhteen ― to collide ajaa yli ― to run over ajaa puuhun ― to crash onto a tree ajaa karille ― to run aground tykistö ajoi asemiin ― the artillery took positions (transitive) to drive away, chase, pursue, expel, deport ajaa tiehensä / ajaa pois ― to chase away ajaa takaa ― to chase, pursue (transitive) to drive, herd (herd animals in a particular direction) ajaa karjaa ― to drive cattle (transitive, usually atelic) to advocate (an idea) Synonym: kannattaa ajaa läpi ― to push through ajaa luonnonsuojelun asiaa ― to advocate the case of nature protection (transitive) to force (into a certain state) Synonyms: saattaa, viedä velat ajoivat yrityksen konkurssiin ― the debts bankrupted the company (transitive) to operate (a device) ajaa moottori sisään ― to break in / run in an engine (transitive) to shave, cut Synonym: leikata ajaa partansa ― to shave (one's beard) ajaa nurmikko ― to cut the grass (transitive, computing) to run, execute (a computer program) Synonym: suorittaa ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== aitta (potentially) === References === === Further reading === Häkkinen, Kaisa (2004), Nykysuomen etymologinen sanakirja [Modern Finnish Etymological Dictionary] (in Finnish), Juva: WSOY, →ISBN “ajaa”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[3] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023 == Greenlandic == === Pronunciation === (Nuuk) IPA(key): /ajaa/, [a.jəː] === Interjection === ajaa exclamation of dismay === References === ajaa in Katersat == Votic == === Verb === ajaa alternative spelling of ajja === References === Hallap, V.; Adler, E.; Grünberg, S.; Leppik, M.
