From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Finnish
Etymology
-ua (passive suffix) + -ttaa (causative suffix), mostly by analogy. The denominal suffix may be partially from -uus, -us (suffix forming nouns from adjectives, stem -(u)ut(e)) + -taa, but is likely just transferred from the deverbal suffix.
Pronunciation
Suffix
-uttaa (front vowel harmony variant -yttää, stem -utta-, linguistic notation -UttA- or -UttAA)
- (deverbative) Forms causative, curative, or factitive verbs from verbs.
- aivastaa (“to sneeze”) + -uttaa → aivastuttaa (“to cause to sneeze”)
- rakentaa (“to build”) + -uttaa → rakennuttaa (“to have something built”)
- räjähtää (“to explode, blow up”) + -uttaa → räjäyttää (“to blow up, detonate, destroy by exploding”)
- (denominal) Forms factitive verbs from nominals.
- Variant of -ttaa with a frequentative nuance, especially used for onomatopoeic or sound-symbolic verbs.
Usage notes
- With -ahtaa (momentane) verbs, the final -ht- usually disappears entirely (through *-ahdutta- > *-ahutta- (regular loss in e.g. eastern dialects) > *-autta-). This has led to -auttaa becoming its own pseudo-suffix. Some derivations, particularly more recent ones, may preserve the -hd-.
