-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 -єний (-jenyj), which developed into an adjective suffix. For the same development compare -ячий (-jačyj). Reanalyzed as (-je) +‎ -нний (-nnyj).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [ jenːei̯]

Suffix

-єнний • (-jennyjm (feminine -єнна, variant -енний)

  1. 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).

  • -є́нний: IPA(key): [ ˈjɛnːei̯]

Suffix

-є́нний • (-jénnyjm (feminine -є́нна)

  1. used to form adjectives from nouns, with the meaning "having the property of X"
  2. used to form adjectives from other adjectives, with the colloquial meaning "very X"
    о- (o-) + ‎хуй (xuj, dick; prick) + ‎-єнний (-jennyj) → ‎охуєнний (oxujennyj, positively shocking, colossal (colloquial))
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.
