# -tte
## Finnish
### Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *-kta (< *-k-ta), from *-k (marker for the present tense) + *-ta (from Proto-Uralic). Form influenced by te, the second-person plural personal pronoun. In the past tense, there was originally -i- in place of -k- (*-ita > *-itë), but the present suffix has been generalized to all tenses and moods.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /-tːe/, [-t̪ːe̞]
* IPA: /-tːeˣ/, [-t̪ːe̞(ʔ)] (in some dialects)

### Suffix

-tte
* (personal) Forms the second-person plural of verbs.
    luette (plural or polite) ― you read

#### Usage notes

* Suffixed to the same stem that the first-person singular has, both in the present and the past tense, and in indicative, conditional and potential mood.
