sorsia

== Finnish == === Etymology 1 === From sortaa: The verb sortaa, "to oppress, tyrannize", has two alternative forms for the 3rd-person singular indicative past, sorsi and sorti (i.e. the "ti ~ si fluctuation"). In a back-formation, sorsi produced the infinitive sorsia, after the pattern of the type sallia (3rd-pers. ind. past salli). The word is originally humorous but is now in common use. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈsorsiɑˣ/, [ˈs̠o̞rs̠iɑ̝(ʔ)] Rhymes: -orsiɑ Syllabification(key): sor‧si‧a Hyphenation(key): sor‧sia ==== Verb ==== sorsia (colloquial) (transitive, usually atelic) To discriminate against, treat unequally. ===== Conjugation ===== ===== Derived terms ===== ==== Further reading ==== “sorsia”, 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): /ˈsorsiɑ/, [ˈs̠o̞rs̠iɑ̝] Rhymes: -orsiɑ Syllabification(key): sor‧si‧a Hyphenation(key): sor‧sia ==== Noun ==== sorsia partitive plural of sorsa === Anagrams === orissa, sorasi
