Feeling verbs and other verbs that express some kind of change in Finnish

Certain verbs that express emotional or physical feelings (and changes) are used in a peculiar way. Whoever feels something is in partitive, and the verb is in third person, as the idea is that something is making you feel like something or almost doing something.

Minua pelottaa (jokin). - I'm scared. Something is making me feel scared.

You can sometimes leave the pronoun out, if it's clear that it's you.

Nyt pelottaa! - Now I'm afraid!

Many verbs in the list below are causative, which means that they cause the meaning of the main verb.
