Questions & Answers about Jokainen näyttelijä haluaa tulla julkisesti ihailluksi.
Why do we use tulla (to come) here to mean "to be admired"?
This is a specific construction used to express a passive experience—when a person gets or becomes the target of an action. It uses the verb tulla (acting like "to become") paired with a passive past participle in the translative case. Literally, it translates to "to become into a state of being admired."
How exactly is the form ihailluksi built from the dictionary verb ihailla (to admire)?
First, you form the passive past participle of the verb: ihailtu (admired). Next, you add the translative ending -ksi. Because adding this ending closes the final syllable, the consonant cluster lt undergoes consonant gradation and weakens to ll, giving us ihailluksi.
Could I just say Jokainen näyttelijä haluaa olla ihailtu instead?
While olla ihailtu is grammatically possible, it sounds very static, like "wants to exist as an admired person." The tulla + -ksi construction emphasizes the dynamic experience of receiving that admiration, which sounds much more natural and idiomatic in Finnish.
Why is the adverb julkisesti placed right in the middle of the verb structure?
