Usage notes
  • This verb occurs mainly in Eastern Finnish dialects but it can also be considered pertaining to standard Finnish despite being very rare there. The most common occurrence of this verb in standard Finnish is the saying älä muuta virka (= damn right(!); a listener's slightly sarcastic reply to something s/he heard from his/her conversation patrner, indicating that the listener agrees with his/her conversation partner in the topic; literally: "don't say anything else").
  • Note also the grammatical exception — the vowel changes: in active the verb has back vowels (a, o, u), but in passive it has front vowels (ä, ö, y). The conjugation is given in the own conjugation table of the verb.
