Talk:teetättää

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

"This form is deprecated since the verb teettää (“to have something done”) already conveys the meaning."

This would be contested by some linguists and native speakers of Finnish, who would defend a 'second-order causative' interpretation. Thus, tehdä 'to make x', teettää 'to cause A to make x', teetättää 'to cause B to cause A to make x'.
