## Betawi
### Etymology

Commonly regarded as a borrowing from Balinese -in. Nothofer argues that it also conflates Proto-Malayic *-ən (ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *-ən) and *-i (ultimately from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *-i), resulting in a different allomorphy and a more extensive use compared to the Balinese suffix. Compare Bangka -en, Minangkabau -an, and Kendayan -atn.

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /in/

### Suffix

-in (non-active/imperative/basic -in, active N- -in, passive di- -in)
* Used to form benefactive aspect on a verb.
    bikin (“to make”) → bikinin (“to make (for)”)
* Used to intensify a verb.
    denger (“to hear”) → dengerin (“to listen”)
* Used to form causative aspect on a verb.
    gedé (“big”) → gedéin (“to make big; to enlarge; to raise the amount of something”)
* Used to transitivize a verb.
    nandur (“to plant rice (intransitive)”) → nandurin (“to plant with rice (transitive)”)

#### Descendants

* → Indonesian: -in

##### Derived terms
### Etymology 6

From Proto-Finnic *-den (genitive plural suffix for some nouns), from the nominative plural ending *-t + genitive ending *-n (with an epenthetic *-e-).

#### Suffix

-in (rare)
* Forms the genitive plural.

##### Usage notes

* Suffixed to the nominative singular but the final -i changes to -e-.
* Note, however, that the more common suffix for the genitive plural is -en added to the plural stem ending with i or j. A link consonant d is also sometimes present.
* Nowadays this suffix is rare and usually gives an archaic tone. Certain proper nouns, however, retain this, e.g. Yhdysvaltain, from Yhdysvallat ("United States", singular stem Yhdysvalta-), where also the more modern form Yhdysvaltojen is possible.

##### See also

* -den
* -en
* -n
