Mongolian

Suffix

-жээ • ‎(-žee)

1. The resultative suffix, usually expressing narrative past

Usage Notes

• This verb form indicates a more distant past than the confirmative suffix -лаа. The suffix also carries secondary evidential force, implying that the speaker didn't directly witness the action.
• Unlike most other suffixes, this one doesn't obey vowel harmony
• For the distribution of -жээ/-чээ ‎(-žee/-čee), same rules as in -ч ‎(-č) apply.
