yrittää

== Finnish == === Etymology === Probably from yrki- (“moment, while”) (dialectal) +‎ -ittää (compare dialectal Ingrian yrtyä (“to begin”), Estonian ürgama (“to begin”); some semantic influence from urjeta, *urgët'ak may be possible), in which case the original case was “to start (doing)”. Alternatively, per Bentlin (2019), a more recent borrowing from North Germanic (compare Old Norse yrkja); SSA doubts development from an earlier -rk- ~ -rɣ- (affecting both etymologies) due to the lack of reflex of -ɣ- in Western Finnish, but Bentlin points out that this is likely explained through internal borrowing. Cognates include Ingrian yrittää, Karelian yritteä and Livvi yrittiä. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈyritːæːˣ/, [ˈyrit̪ːæː(ʔ)] Rhymes: -yritːæː Syllabification(key): y‧rit‧tää Hyphenation(key): yrit‧tää === Verb === yrittää (transitive, usually atelic) to try, attempt, endeavour/endeavor [with first infinitive ‘to do’] Synonym: koettaa (intransitive) to run an enterprise, be an entrepreneur ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Estonian: üritama === References === === Further reading === “yrittää”, 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 4 July 2023 === Anagrams === ryittää == Ingrian == === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *ürittädäk.
