olla

== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from Spanish olla, from Latin ōlla, aulla; akin to Sanskrit उखा (ukhā, “pot”), and probably also Gothic 𐌰𐌿𐌷𐌽𐍃 (auhns, “oven”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɒlə/, /ˈɔjə/ Rhymes: -ɒlə === Noun === olla (plural ollas) A cooking-pot or earthenware jar used in Spain and Spanish-speaking countries. A pot used for cooling water by evaporation in Latin America. (agriculture) An unglazed earthenware pot, buried to provide slow steady irrigation. (Ancient Rome) A cinerary urn. === Further reading === olla on Wikipedia.Wikipedia olla (Roman pot) on Wikipedia.Wikipedia === Anagrams === 'allo, -alol, Lola, allo, allo-, lalo == Aragonese == === Etymology === From Latin ōlla (“cooking pot”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈoʎa/ Syllabification: o‧lla Rhymes: -oʎa === Noun === olla f (plural ollas) pot === References === Bal Palazios, Santiago (2002), “olla”, in Dizionario breu de a luenga aragonesa, Zaragoza, →ISBN == Catalan == === Etymology === Inherited from Latin ōlla. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): (Central, Balearic) [ˈɔ.ʎə] IPA(key): (Valencia) [ˈɔ.ʎa] === Noun === olla f (plural olles) cooking-pot stew, casserole pool (in a watercourse) Synonym: gorg ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === “olla”, in Diccionari de la llengua catalana [Dictionary of the Catalan Language] (in Catalan), second edition, Institute of Catalan Studies [Catalan: Institut d'Estudis Catalans], April 2007 == Estonian == === Verb === olla Da-infinitive of olema. == Finnish == === Etymology === Most forms derive from Proto-Finnic *oldak, from Proto-Uralic *wole- / *ole- (see it for more). Cognates include Estonian olema, Erzya улемс (ulems), Udmurt вань (vań), Northern Sami leat, Hungarian van, volt. The forms on and ovat are irregular, with cognates found in Karelian on, Livonian um, Veps om, Votic on, Võro om/um and ommaq/ummaq. The original form of on was earlier *om, probably from an earlier *oma; ovat in turn is originally from this form with the plural suffix -t attached and has only later been reanalyzed as containing the standard third-person plural ending -vat. This monosyllabic root *wo- / *o- is likely also the origin of the extended (frequentative) form *wole- / *ole-, with the bare root also emerging in another derivative: oma (“own”). However, the alternative is to posit an irregular loss of -l- in the third-person forms due to it being such a common function word. The potential forms (lie-) derive from Proto-Finnic *leedäk, from *le- (“to become”), probably from earlier Proto-Uralic *lewɜ-. Cognate with Karelian lienöy, Livonian līdõ, Veps lindä, Northern Sami leat, ле- (le-) on Erzya левкс (levks), Hungarian lenni/lesz. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈolːɑˣ/, [ˈo̞lːɑ̝(ʔ)] Rhymes: -olːɑ Syllabification(key): ol‧la Hyphenation(key): ol‧la === Verb === olla (copulative) to be (indicating that the subject and the complement of the verb form the same thing, or that the complement describes the subject) Olen onnellinen. ― I am happy.

Grammatically speaking, the thing owned is the subject complement of the sentence: minulla on... ― I have..., sinulla on... ― you have..., hänellä on... ― he/she has... meillä on... ― we have..., teillä on... ― you have..., heillä on... ― they have... sillä on... ― it has... Lassilla on... ― Lassi has... kaupungin terveyslautakunnalla on... ― the municipal health board has... The same applies through all tenses, infinitives and participles (where they make sense), e.g. minulla ei olisi ollut... ― I would not have had... minulla rupeaa olemaan... ― I am beginning to have... The meaning "there be" is rarely used without adverbials (such as those describing a location); it is more common to use olla olemassa in such cases. In questions asking to remind one of something, olla is quite often in the past tense even for ongoing actions (like in English): For infinitive and participle constructs using olla, see Appendix:Finnish verb forms § Infinitives and Appendix:Finnish participles § Participle constructs. ==== Conjugation ==== Colloquially, the present stem ole- may be replaced with oo-, and uniquely for olla, the conditional stem olisi- with oisi-: ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Collocations ==== === References === === Further reading === “olla”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[2] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 3 July 2023 == Galician == === Verb === olla inflection of ollar: third-person singular present indicative second-person singular imperative == Icelandic == === Etymology === Borrowed from English ollie. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɔlːa/ Rhymes: -ɔlːa === Verb === olla (weak verb, third-person singular past indicative ollaði, supine ollað) (skateboarding) to ollie, perform an ollie ==== Conjugation ==== == Ingrian == === Etymology === Suppletive: Most forms starting with o- derive from Proto-Finnic *oldak.
