-ація
Ukrainian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin -ātiō, an alternative form of -tiō.
Suffix
[edit]-а́ція • (-ácija) f
Usage notes
[edit]- Frequently added to Latinate verbs ending in -ува́ти (-uváty) or -овати (-ovati), where it replaces the entire suffix. It is often difficult to tell native Russian formations of this sort from those where a Latinate foreign noun ending in English -ation, French -ation, Italian -azione, etc. was borrowed directly.
