Wolof[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From soppi +‎ -al. The suffix -i, already present in the base verb, regularly follows the added suffix -al, resulting in the compound suffix -ali.

Verb[edit]

soppali

  1. to change sth into sth
  2. to transform sth into sth

Usage notes[edit]

Always takes two objects (ditransitive). The base verb soppi is used as the monotransitive counterpart as in “to change sth”.
