Questions & Answers about He aikovat anoa lupaa, mutta anomus on hyvin monimutkainen.
How does the suffix -mus work in the word anomus?
The word anomus comes from the verb anoa (to petition or request) plus the suffix -mus. This suffix turns a verb into a noun representing the result of the action or the concrete thing itself. While anoa is the act of petitioning, anomus is the physical petition or application document.
Why is the word for permit in the partitive form (lupaa)?
The verb anoa generally takes a partitive object because requesting something is an open-ended, irresultative action. At the time of petitioning, the permit has not yet been received.
The word monimutkainen means complex. How is this word constructed?
It is a compound made of moni (many) and mutka (a bend or curve), followed by the adjective-forming suffix -inen. Something that is monimutkainen literally has many bends or twists, making it complicated.
Does the verb aikoa (to intend) always take the basic first infinitive, like anoa here?
Yes, aikoa is an auxiliary verb that always pairs with the first infinitive. Unlike some verbs that require the third infinitive (such as those ending in -maan or -massa), aikoa behaves like voida or haluta and directly takes the dictionary form of the action verb.
