Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *ahmidak, equivalent to ahma +‎ -ia. Cognate with Estonian ahmima

Pronunciation

Verb

ahmia

  1. (transitive) to wolf down, eat quickly, gulp, gobble, hog, stuff oneself with (without regard for table manners)
  2. (transitive, figuratively) to consume some media in a binge; to read a book through; to binge-watch a series etc.

Usage notes

  • Being a momentane verb, ahmaista is used when the amount of the food to be wolfed down is confined or the moment of eating is transient, whereas the frequentative ahmia is used when the duration of the eating is longer, more continuous or more or less indefinite. The difference can sometimes be translated in English by using the continuous tense.
    Hän ahmi omenia, kun minä tulin kotiin.
    S/he was gulping apples when I came home.
    Hän ahmaisi omenan ja juoksi ovesta ulos.
