Questions & Answers about Kriisi kärjistynee seuraavana vuonna.
How exactly is the potential mood formed in the verb kärjistynee?
The base verb is kärjistyä (to escalate). To form the potential mood, you take the strong vowel stem (kärjisty-), add the potential marker -ne-, and then the third-person singular ending. Since the subject is kriisi (it), the personal ending is a doubling of the final vowel, giving us kärjistynee.
Does kärjistynee refer to the present or the future?
Where does the verb kärjistyä come from?
It derives from the noun kärki, which means "point" or "tip". The verb kärjistyä literally means "to come to a point", but at the B2 level you will often see it used abstractly to mean "to escalate" or "to become acute", especially regarding crises, conflicts, or arguments.
Why are the words for "next year" in the essive case (seuraavana vuonna)?
In Finnish, the essive case (the -na or -nä ending) is used in time expressions to state exactly when something happens. This is standard for days and years. The adjective seuraava (next) must agree in case with the noun vuosi (year), which takes its special essive form vuonna.
