Usage notes
[edit]The difference between the Finnish verbs palaa and polttaa is that with palaa, the fuel (or whatever is burning) is the subject of the sentence, while with polttaa, the fuel is an object (and who causes it to burn is the subject). Both can be translated as "to burn" into English.

Note that sometimes gemination may be undone by this addition. | |||
