===References===

==Finnish==

===Etymology===
See {{m|fi|-ea}}. With vowel assimilation.

===Suffix===
{{fi-suffix|adjective}} {{tlb|fi|colloquial|or|dialectal}}

# {{alternative form of|fi|-ea}}

====Usage notes====
* Predominant type in the Tavastian and Savonian dialects. Well preserved even in urban speech. 
* Used in the same way as the standard {{m|fi||-ea}}: e.g. {{m|fi||korkee}} "high", standard {{m|fi|korkea}}.
* Especially in the Savonian dialects, shorter words with the suffix are subject to consonant gemination: {{m|fi||pimeä}} > {{m|fi||pimmee}}.

==Latin==

===Pronunciation===
*{{la-IPA|}}

===Suffix===
{{head|la|suffix form}}

# {{inflection of|la|-eus||voc|m|s}}

==Manx==

===Etymology===
From {{inh|gv|sga|-igidir}} (whence also {{cog|ga|-igh}} and {{cog|gd|-ich}}), originally a [[denominative]] verb formative, from {{inh|gv|cel-pro|*-sagyetor}}; compare {{cog|cy|-hau}}.

===Pronunciation===
* {{IPA|gv|/i/}}

===Suffix===
{{gv-suffix|v}}

# {{n-g|Suffix used to form verbs from nouns.}}

====Usage notes====
* Affixed verbs ending in ''-ee'' form a sizeable number of verbs. Some monosyllabic verbs in Manx (which historically are '''not''' from affixes), however, are ''not'' a result of affixation, such as [[niee]] "to wash".

====Derived terms====
