/ˈkɑu̯.ɑː/, [ˈkɑ̝u̯.ɑ̝ː]
AlkuperäFrom kauan by replacing the genitive/accusative ending with the partitive ending by analogy with objects in affirmative and negative sentences. Could be analyzed as the partitive of kauka- (see kauko-), but the regular form for this is kaukaa.
- for a long time, for long
“En aio olla kauaa täällä.” — I'm not planning to be here for long.
