Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *-nut.
Suffix
-nut (front vowel harmony variant -nyt, linguistic notation -nUt)
- Used to form past active participle forms of verbs.
Sadat sukset tehneenä tiedän, mistä puhun.- Having made one hundred pairs of skis I know what I'm talking about.
Sen tehneenä henkilönä hänen pitäisi tietää.- As the person who made it, s/he should know.
- Used to form past indicative connegative forms of verbs.
En ole tehnyt mitään.- I have done nothing.
Usage notes
- (past active participle): Some inflected forms have specific uses:
- genitive singular: used with verbs of reporting or observing to refer to someone having done an action according to that report or observation.
Hänen sanotaan tehneen sen.- S/he was said to have done it.
- When attached to consonant stems, the preceding consonant may either
- if it is -l-, -r- or -s-, assimilate the -n-, as happens with verbs in the conjugation classes rohkaista (66), tulla (67), juosta (70) as well as the irregular verbs olla and seistä,
- or, if it is -t-, it will instead be assimilated, resulting in an ending -nnut, as happens with verbs in the conjugation classes valita (69), vanheta (72), salata (73), katketa (74) and selvitä (75).
- An alternative analysis is that this ending has the variants -ut and -nnut, and which ending is used depends on the verb's conjugation. -nut is used with the verbs that end in a long (doubled) -a / -ä, diphthong or in -da / -dä', i.e. the verbs of the following conjugation classes:
