köken: Verb formed from the adjective υπόχρεος (ypóchreos) (from Ancient Greek ὑπόχρεος (hupókhreos, “indebted”), from υπο- (upo-) + χρέος (khréos)), + -ώνω (suffix for verbs). For sense "oblige", calque of French obliger.
Ο νόμος μας υποχρεώνει να τον φυλακίσουμε.
Με βοήθησε τόσο πολύ! Έχω υποχρεωθεί σ’ αυτόν τον καλό άνθρωπο!
köken: Compound of 義務 (gimu, “duty, obligation”) + 付ける (tsukeru, “to stick something to something else”). The tsukeru changes to zukeru as an instance of rendaku (連濁).
to obligate, oblige, compel [with illative ‘to’; or with illative of third infinitive ‘to do’] (constrain someone by force or by social, moral or legal means)
çekim: geçmiş velvoittanut · şimdiki velvoittaisi · ulaç velvoittava
köken: velka + -oittaa. The -v- is a weak grade of -k- which would not be used here in Standard Finnish; thus it is either an archaism or a dialectal feature (compare velvollinen). Doublet of veloittaa.
köken: From Proto-Italic *tenēō, stative from Proto-Indo-European *ten- (“to stretch, draw”). See also Ancient Greek τείνω (teínō), Persian تنیدن (tanidan, “to weave”), Sanskrit तनोति (tanóti) and Old English þennan.
