sataa
Appearance
Finnish
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From Proto-Finnic *satadak (“to fall”), from Proto-Uralic *śada-, possibly from Indo-Iranian.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]sataa (transitive, usually atelic, impersonal)
- (meteorology) to precipitate (to have water in the air fall to the ground): to rain, snow, sleet, hail
- sataa kaatamalla ― to rain cats and dogs
- Sataa (vettä). ― It's raining.
- Huomenna sataa, mutta emme tiedä, tuleeko se vetenä vai lumena.
- It will precipitate tomorrow, but we don't know whether as rain or snow.
- (also figuratively) to rain (fall down from the sky like rain)
- Minä menen ulos, vaikka (taivaalta) sataisi puukkoja!
- I'm going out even if it's raining knives!
- (literally, “I'm going out even if knives should be falling from the sky!”)
Usage notes
[edit]- The same verb is used for all kinds of precipitation, whether it be rain, snow, sleet, hail or something else. If there is no context for which one is meant, sataa on its own is generally understood to refer to rain. The kind can be explicitly specified with modifiers:
- Although this verb can be used alone (as the single word sataa), it is very often used with an adverb of place, for example siellä (“there”). Since such adverbs are usually added without any literal meaning, they often don't need to be translated, but similar idiomatic use exists in English and other languages:
- (Siellä) sataa.
- It's raining (out/outside).
