VerbForm: form of verb or deverbative
Fin: finite verb
Verbs that inflect for mood (Mood), tense (Tense) or person
(Person) are finite and are assigned the VerbForm value Fin.
Additionally, the negation verb ei only has finite forms (VISK §
108; in Finnish),
and is always annotated with VerbForm=Fin.
Examples
- [fi] Minä ostin kahvia “I bought coffee”
- [fi] Minulla ei ole autoa “I do not have a car”
Inf: infinitive
Words in infinitive forms are assigned the VerbForm value Inf.
Infinitive forms are further differentiated using the feature
InfForm.
UD Finnish recognizes three verb forms as infinitives, namely those known as the first, second and third infinitives (alternatively termed the A-, E- and MA-infinitives, see e.g. VISK § 119; in Finnish).
Examples
- [fi] He haluavat jutella “They want to talk” (first infinitive)
- [fi] ottaen huomioon “taking into account” (second infinitive)
- [fi] Menen katsomaan musikaalia “I am going to see a musical” (third infinitive)
Part: participle
Words in participle forms are assigned the VerbForm value Part.
Participle forms are further differentiated using the feature
PartForm.
Examples
- [fi] Puolue on saanut tukea “The party has received support”
