kutiaa

== Finnish == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *kuti-, which is of sound-symbolic origin. Possibly also related to Lithuanian kuténti (“to tickle, titillate”); the words may both be separately sound-symbolic or, alternatively, one might be borrowed from the other. Compare also Erzya кутямс (kuťams, “to tickle”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈkutiɑːˣ/, [ˈkut̪iɑ̝ː(ʔ)] Rhymes: -utiɑː Syllabification(key): ku‧ti‧aa Hyphenation(key): ku‧ti‧aa === Verb === kutiaa (defective, intransitive) to tickle (feel like being tickled) to itch (feel itchy) to be ticklish ==== Conjugation ==== This verb has no consonant stem and therefore no first infinitive, so the lemma is the indicative third-person singular form. Forms requiring a consonant stem are substituted with ones of the synonymous verb kutista. Thus, the conjugation type selvitä is only valid for vowel-stem forms, while for consonant-stem forms, the type is rohkaista (marked in italic). ==== Derived terms ==== === References === === Further reading === “kutiaa”, 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 === kaatui
