Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Finnic *kadottadak. Equivalent to kadota (to be lost, disappear) +‎ -ttaa (causative aspect).

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈkɑdotːɑːˣ/, [ˈkɑ̝do̞t̪ːɑ̝ː(ʔ)]
  • Rhymes: -ɑdotːɑː
  • Hyphenation(key): ka‧dot‧taa

Verb

[edit]

kadottaa

  1. (transitive) to lose (to cause to cease to be in one's possession or capability due to unfortunate or unknown circumstances/events/reasons)
    Kadotin avaimeni johonkin baariin.
    I lost my keys in some bar.
  2. (transitive) to lose, make vanish (to voluntarily make something disappear)
    Yritin kadottaa hänet metsään.
    I tried to lose him/her in the woods.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • As seen in the translations, kadottaa can mean both wanted and unwanted losing.
  • kadottaa takes the illative (or, with some words, allative) case for location, i.e. answers the question "where ... to?" instead of "where?".
    Kadotin avaimeni johonkin baariin.
    I lost my keys at (lit. into) some bar.
