kutiaa

Finnish

Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *kuti-, which is of sound-symbolic origin.[1] Possibly also related to Lithuanian kuténti (“to tickle, titillate”); the words may both be separately sound-symbolic or, alternatively, one might be borrowed from the other.

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): /ˈkutiɑːˣ/, [ˈkut̪iɑ̝ː(ʔ)]
  • Rhymes: -utiɑː
  • Syllabification(key): ku‧ti‧aa

Verb

kutiaa (defective, intransitive)

  1. to tickle (feel like being tickled)

    My nose tickles.
  2. to itch (feel itchy)
  3. to be ticklish
    Jalkani kutiavat, mutta kämmeneni eivät.

Conjugation

This verb has no consonant stem and therefore no first infinitive, so the lemma is the indicative third-person singular form. Forrms requiring a consonant stem are substituted with ones of the synonymous verb kutista is substituted. Thus, the conjugation type selvitä is only valid for vowel stem forms and for consonant stem forms the type is rohkaista.
