pysty

== Finnish == === Etymology 1 === From Proto-Finnic *pistü, equivalent to pistää (“to stab, sting, prick”) +‎ -y. The expected form pisty is dialectal; the initial vowel has labialized as a result of the latter vowel (compare pystyä, from pistää + -yä). Related to Estonian püsti, Karelian pisty, Livonian pistõ, Veps püšt and Votic pissü. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈpysty/, [ˈpys̠ty] Rhymes: -ysty Syllabification(key): pys‧ty Hyphenation(key): pys‧ty ==== Adjective ==== pysty (comparative pystympi, superlative pystyin) upright, vertical (now uncommon as an independent adjective) ===== Usage notes ===== No longer that common as an independent adjective; it is more commonly used as part of compound words (see pysty-) or in the locative cases (pystyssä, pystystä, pystyyn). ===== Declension ===== ===== Derived terms ===== ==== Further reading ==== “pysty”, 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 1 July 2023 === Etymology 2 === ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈpystyˣ/, [ˈpys̠ty(ʔ)] Rhymes: -ysty Syllabification(key): pys‧ty Hyphenation(key): pys‧ty ==== Verb ==== pysty inflection of pystyä: present active indicative connegative second-person singular present imperative second-person singular present active imperative connegative === Anagrams === pysyt
