-єнний
Ukrainian
Etymology 1
Borrowed from Old Church Slavonic -еньнъ (-enĭnŭ), from енъ (enŭ) + ьнъ (ĭnŭ). Originally used to form adjectives from past passive participles in Old Church Slavonic, later reinterpreted as a past passive participle suffix within the Russian literary language. Compare the native past participle suffix -ений (-enyj), which developed into an adjective suffix. For the same development compare -ячий (-jačyj). Reanalize as -єн (-jen) + -ний (-nyj)
Alternative forms
- -енний (-ennyj)
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ jenːei̯]
Suffix
-єнний • (-jennyj) m (feminine -єнна)
- used to form past passive participles from verbs in -їти (-jity) and -яти (-jaty), which are frequently lexicalized into adjectives
- проща́ти (proščáty, “to forgive”) + -єнний (-jennyj) → непроще́нний (neproščénnyj, “unforgiven, unforgivable”)
Usage notes
- As a means of forming past passive participles, the suffix as written occurs mostly unstressed; when stressed, it assumes the form -енний (-ennyj). Generally, this suffix occurs with accent-a verbs (stem-stressed verbs ending in unstressed -їти (-jity) and -яти (-jaty)) and accent-c verbs (ending-stressed verbs in -ї́ти (-jíty) and -я́ти (-játy), where the present and synthetic future tense, except for the first person singular, are stem-stressed, for example води́ти (vodýty) with present tense воджу́ (vodžú), во́диш (vódyš), во́дить (vódytʹ), etc.). It does not normally occur with accent-b verbs (ending-stressed verbs where the entire present and synthetic future tense is ending-stressed, for example вини́ти (vynýty) with present tense виню́ (vynjú), вини́ш (vynýš), вини́ть (vynýtʹ), etc.), which instead use -е́нний (-énnyj). However, there are exceptions in both directions, e.g. accent-c діли́ти (dilýty) (present tense ділю́ (diljú), ді́лиш (dílyš)) with past passive participle неподіле́нний (nepodilénnyj) and accent-b кро́їти (krójity) (present tense крою́ (krojú), кро́їш (krójiš)) with past passive participle невикрої́нний (nevykrojínnyj).
- This suffix triggers iotation (unlike the homophonous adjective-forming suffix below).

Suffix

- used to form adjectives from nouns, with the meaning "having the property of X"
- used to form adjectives from other adjectives, with the colloquial meaning "very X"
Usage notes
- This suffix triggers the Slavic first palatalization of velars, but does not trigger iotation (unlike the homophonous past-participle-forming suffix above).
- In the colloquial meaning "very X", the suffix is normally stressed, while in the meaning "having the property of X" it is normally unstressed.
