Verb
hukkua
Usage notes
- Hukkua is one of the Finnish verbs that, unlike their equivalents in most Indo-European languages, require a lative case, i.e. require the question "where ... to?" instead of "where?". Thus, "Lapsi hukkui metsään" means literally 'A child got lost into the forest'. Similar verbs are e.g. eksyä, eksyttää, hukata, hukuttaa, kadota, kadottaa, hävitä, hävittää, saapua, jäädä, jättää and rakentaa. See also the verbs etsiä, löytää, löytyä, lukea and kuulla which require the question "where ... from?" instead of "where?" (Nähdä can be both a verb with an essive case ("where?") and a verb requiring the question "where ... from?".)
