vihdoin

== Finnish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʋihdoi̯n/, [ˈʋiçdo̞i̯n] Rhymes: -ihdoin Syllabification(key): vih‧doin Hyphenation(key): vih‧doin === Etymology 1 === From Proto-Finnic *vihtoin, possibly originally an instructive plural of *vihta (“time, occasion”) (in some dialects, vihdoin is attested with the meaning "once"; some Finnic cognates have different meanings, such as Veps vihtoi (“long ago”)). This could then be cognate with Proto-Samic *vëstē (whence Northern Sami fas (“again, once more”)), suggesting an earlier form *višta, which has been suggested to be a borrowing from Proto-Indo-European *wiH-to. ==== Adverb ==== vihdoin finally, at last ===== Synonyms ===== vihdoinkin ===== Derived terms ===== ==== Further reading ==== “vihdoin”, 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 === ==== Verb ==== vihdoin first-person singular past indicative of vihtoa === Etymology 3 === ==== Noun ==== vihdoin instructive plural of vihta === References ===
