Usage notes
In the sense "to begin" or "to take up", ruveta is usually followed by the active third infinitive form of a verb in illative or, more rarely, with illative form of a noun that is closely related to an activity, such as työ (“work”). In the sense "to become something" that, to which one becomes, is in translative.
