Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Proto-Slavic *-nьje.
Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-і́ння or -іння • (-ínnja or -innja) n (plural -інь)
- -tion, -ence, -ance, -ity, etc. (suffix used to form abstract nouns from verbs, and occasionally from other parts of speech)
Usage notes
[edit]- The stress is usually drawn onto the suffix, but occasionally not.
- This suffix is generally used only for verbs whose past passive participle ends in -єний (-jenyj) or -ений (-enyj); verbs whose past passive participle ends in -аний (-anyj) normally use -ання (-annja), and verbs whose past passive participle ends in -тий (-tyj) normally use -ння (-nnja).
- The stem preceding the suffix is modified in the same way as for the past passive participle; in particular, the stem normally becomes iotated, and in cases where the stem iotates irregularly in the past passive participle (e.g. -жд- (-žd-) instead of -ж- (-ž-), or -щ- (-šč-) instead of -ч- (-č-)), the same irregularities are observed before -і́ння (-ínnja).
- Note that even intransitive verbs without a past passive participle form abstract nouns in -і́ння (-ínnja). For such verbs of class 4 and 5 (which end in -ити (-yty) and -іти (-ity) respectively), use the stem as found in the first person singular.
