Pronunciation

Verb

ette

1. The second-person plural form of the negation verb. The English translations include do not/don’t and not (with auxiliary verbs and be).

Conjugation

• The negative verb has no infinitive form. The negative verb is the same with indicative, conditional and potential mood and, with those moods, it is conjugated only in person. (For the second-person plural of the negative verb in the imperative mood, see älkää. An archaic optative mood has also a second-person singular form, ällös.)

Usage notes

• The negative verb is used with the connegative form of the main verb. That form is identical to the second-person singular imperative in the indicative present. The potential mood connegative ends in the marker for the mood, -ne-, and the conditional mood connegative ends in the marker for the mood, -isi-. In the indicative past, conditional past and potential past, the active past participle plural (ending -eet) is used — if addressing politely or formally one person, the active past participle singular (ending -ut/-yt) is used. The connegative form of the main verb is always used without the personal suffix.
