Replies from a native..	by Deverant	2006-06-23 00:08:25
This might actually require me to know enough english first.. :) These seem to be dialect things or then just the colloqial speech which you probably won't find from common basic dictionaries anyway. And I could also be wrong, not knowing the context dialect words can be tricky.. 1) If it has a different meaning it must be a very colloqial thing or then some eastern/northern dialect thing that ain't used commonly at all. Can't really see any use for the genitive form of "aitta", any uses that come to mind sound just bad. Just can't think how "aitta" could own/have anything in that way.. You can have stuff inside 'aitta' though.. 2) I can't even think of a good direct translation for this. I guess what we are looking for here is something along the lines of "I wish" or maybe even in passive terms.. very colloqial and teen dialect.. 3) Comes from the word "odotat" which means "you wait" or mostly used in questions so "you'll wait there?" could be "ootat siellä?" 4) Wouldn't know since I don't own any. :) I guess others might correct me but like I said they seem to be from dialects and without context are tricky things to get right. -- Dev
