====Usage notes====
* Predominant type in the Tavastian and Savonian dialects. Well preserved even in urban speech.
* Used in the same way as the standard {{m|fi||-ea}}: e.g. {{m|fi||korkee}} "high", standard {{m|fi|korkea}}.
* Especially in the Savonian dialects, shorter words with the suffix are subject to consonant gemination: {{m|fi||pimeä}} > {{m|fi||pimmee}}.
