sinkkidiatiivinen

Sinkkidiatiivinen is a term derived from the Finnish language, where "sinkki" means "sink" and "diatiivinen" means "diathetic." The term is used in linguistics to describe a specific type of verb conjugation in the Finnish language. In Finnish, verbs can be categorized into two main types: diathetic and athematic. Diathetic verbs, also known as sinkkidiatiivinen verbs, are characterized by their ability to take both direct and indirect objects. This means that these verbs can express both the recipient of the action (indirect object) and the entity affected by the action (direct object) simultaneously.

For example, the verb "antaa" (to give) is a sinkkidiatiivinen verb. In the sentence "Anna kirja Minulle" (Give the book to me), "kirja" (the book) is the direct object, and "Minulle" (to me) is the indirect object. This ability to take both types of objects is a defining feature of sinkkidiatiivinen verbs in the Finnish language.
