ansaita

== Finnish == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic [Term?] (compare Karelian ašnita); originally *asnaita, asnata (attested in 1787). The modern form is probably by folk etymology with ansa (“trap”) (and to avoid the hard-to-pronounce -sn-; compare känsä from earlier käsnä). The Finnic word is probably borrowed from Proto-Germanic [Term?], from Proto-Germanic *asniz, *asunz (“reward”) (compare Gothic 𐌰𐍃𐌽𐌴𐌹𐍃 (asneis, “a hireling, day labourer”)). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɑnsɑi̯tɑˣ/, [ˈɑ̝ns̠ɑ̝i̯t̪ɑ̝(ʔ)] Rhymes: -ɑnsɑitɑ Syllabification(key): an‧sai‧ta Hyphenation(key): an‧sai‧ta === Verb === ansaita (transitive) to earn, make, win, gain (e.g. money) ansaita nettona ― to net, clear ansaita bruttona ― to gross (transitive) to deserve, merit, be entitled to, be worthy of [with first infinitive] ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== (to earn, make): tienata (to deserve): sietää, saada (both in indicative or conditional mood, when speaking in 3rd-person singular or plural) ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== ansio === Further reading === “ansaita”, 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 === saantia
