Etimologija 4

From Old Japanese. ⟨mi₁⟩ → /mi/

Further derivation unclear. Theories include:

• Might be a suffix all on its own.
• Might be a particle.
• Might be the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of an auxiliary.

If derived from an auxiliary, this may be the suppositional / presumptive auxiliary む (mu). Possibly related to 目 (me, “eye”), 見る (miru, “to see”); compare Engleski look like as used to describe the quality of something.

Suffix

み (-mi) 

1. 味: (after an i-adjective stem) -ness; used for "quality" of being, as opposed to suffix さ (sa), also translated as -ness, used for "degree" of being

   atatakami, atsumi, omoshiromi

   warmth, thickness, interest

2. (Internet slang) (after other types of words as well) -ness

   takami, akarumi, fukami

   high place, bright place, deep place

Usage notes

Sense 1 is sometimes confused or conflated with Sino-Japanese 味 (mi, “taste, flavor”), hence the ateji spelling.
