Type II Verbs
Verbs whose first infinitive ends in vowel + da, for example juoda = 'to drink', syödä = 'to eat'. This is a fairly large group of verbs, partly because one way in which foreign borrowings are incorporated into the Finnish verb paradigms is to add oida, for example, organisoida = 'to organise'.
Another important verb of this type is voida = 'to be able/allowed to'.
The stem is formed by removing da with no vowel doubling in the third person singular: juon, juot, juo, juomme, juotte, juovat.

Famous quotes containing the words type and/or verbs:
“To be a real philosopher all that is necessary is to hate some one else’s type of thinking.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“He crafted his writing and loved listening to those tiny explosions when the active brutality of verbs in revolution raced into sweet established nouns to send marching across the page a newly commissioned army of words-on-maneuvers, all decorated in loops, frets, and arrowlike flourishes.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
