syöpä

== Finnish == === Etymology 1 === An archaic active present participle form of the verb syödä (“to eat”) (syö- +‎ -pä). Literally, “that which eats”, so called because the disease was once believed to be caused by a worm that eats the body from the inside. Compare the archaic synonyms ruumiinmato (literally “worm of the body”) and koi (literally “moth”), both referring to the same idea. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈsyø̯pæ/, [ˈs̠yø̞̯pæ] Rhymes: -yøpæ Syllabification(key): syö‧pä Hyphenation(key): syö‧pä ==== Noun ==== syöpä (pathology) cancer Synonyms: syöpätauti, karsino- (in compounds), koi, koiska, koiso, ruumiinkoi, ruumiinmato (all archaic) (figuratively) cancer, corruption, rot (a spreading evil) Synonyms: korruptio, mädännäisyys, mädätys, mätä ===== Declension ===== ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Related terms ===== nouns: syöpäläinen verbs: syödä ==== References ==== Erkki Itkonen, Ulla-Maija Kulonen, editors (1992–2000), Suomen sanojen alkuperä [The Origin of Finnish Words]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online version; note: also includes other etymological sources; this source is labeled "SSA 1992–2000"), Helsinki: Institute for the Languages of Finland/Finnish Literature Society, →ISBN ==== Further reading ==== “syöpä”, 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 1 July 2023 === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈsyø̯pæ/, [ˈs̠yø̞̯pæ] (indicative) IPA(key): /ˈsyø̯ˣpæ/, [ˈs̠yø̞̯pːæ] (imperative) Rhymes: -yøpæ Syllabification(key): syö‧pä Hyphenation(key): syö‧pä ==== Verb ==== syöpä third-person singular present indicative of syödä (with enclitic -pä) second-person singular present imperative of syödä (with enclitic -pä)
