Pronunciation

(Vedic) IPA^(key): /jɐ.ti/
(Classical Sanskrit) IPA^(key): /jɐ.t̪i/

Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Indo-European *-yéti (denominative suffix).

Suffix

-यति • (-yáti)

forms denominative verbs
‎शिथिल (śithila, “loose”) + ‎-यति (-yati) → ‎शिथिलयति (śithilayati, “makes loose”)

‎चोर (cora, “thief”) + ‎-यति (-yati) → ‎चोरयति (corayati, “steals”)

Usage notes

While the Vedic accent is generally on the suffix, it can also shift to previous syllable: for example अर्थयति (artháyati) from अर्थ (ártha), coinciding formally with a causative and traditionally interpreted as a class 10 verb (अर्थ् (arth) + -अयति (-áyati)).
