The aggressive ((フィンランド語:aggressiivi)) is a grammatical mood-like verb construction that occurs in the Finnish language, especially in emotional outbursts. The construction expresses negation and resembles a negative clause, but it lacks the Finnish negative auxiliary. Instead, the aggressive is often marked with an expletive, which tends to be seen as a distinctive feature of the construction. The aggressive has vogue particularly in the vernacular of the youth, but the characteristic absence of the negative auxiliary has also been found in samples of dialectal Finnish recorded in the early 20th century.〔 Even though the construction is quite common in colloquial Finnish, little attention has been paid to it in Finnish grammars, as it has mostly been regarded as an exceptional variant of the negative clause.〔 ==Characteristics== The characteristics of the aggressive were analyzed by Lari Kotilainen in his doctoral dissertation in 2007. According to Kotilainen, the aggressive is an affective and reactive construction where the negative auxiliary is omitted and the main verb tends to be at the end. In addition, there is often an expletive at the beginning and the construction tends to include a semi-negative word – typically ''mitään'' '() anything', which can be analyzed as a pronoun or an adverb. More specifically, Kotilainen has identified four main varieties of the construction〔 (below, nearly word-by-word translations into English are given with extra clarifications in square brackets): * The negative construction without the negative auxiliary (an optional expletive + complements and adjuncts and adverbs connected to the verb + the negative form of the main verb). ::''(Vittu) mä mitään tiedä!'' '(Fuck) I anything know ()!' * The affirmative-negative construction (an expletive in singular or plural + complements and adjuncts and adverbs connected to the verb + the affirmative form of the main verb). ::''Vittu mä mitään tiedän!'' 'Fuck I anything know (I don't know anything )!' * The repetitive construction (an expletive in plural + the affirmative form of the main verb, the lexeme mentioned earlier). ::''Paskat tiedän!'' 'Shit () I know!' * The ''paskat välitän'' construction (the grammatical subject + an expletive in plural + the verb ''välittää'' 'to care' + complements and adjuncts connected to the verb). ::''Mä paskat välitän siitä!'' 'I shit care about it (don't give a shit )!' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「aggressive mood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
