Traditionally a western Finnish dialectal word; no known cognates exist in other Finnic languages. Possibly borrowed from Proto-Germanic *aldaz ~ *alþijaz (“old”) (for the ending, compare tyyris < *diurijaz; for the gradation, compare raitis << *raidi(ja)z), but the semantics are unclear; a shift like “old, grown” → “mature” → “ready” could be supposed (perhaps with secondary influence by folk etymology with ala-, through the verb altistaa being associated with alistaa). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑltis/, [ˈɑ̝l̪t̪is̠] Rhymes: -ɑltis Syllabification(key): al‧tis Hyphenation(key): al‧tis === Adjective === altis (comparative alttiimpi, superlative alttein) [with allative ‘to’] exposed, endangered, vulnerable altis vaaralle ― exposed to danger, endangered ready, inclined, disposed, prone to (having a tendency, preference, likelihood, or disposition) sensitive (responsive to stimuli) susceptible (likely to be affected by something) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Estonian: aldis === References === === Further reading === “altis”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (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 === Anagrams === lasit, lasti, lista, litsa, salit, silat, silta, talsi, tilsa == Latin == === Adjective === altīs dative/ablative masculine/feminine/neuter plural of altus
