(abbreviation) === Etymology === The place is first mentioned by this name in the late 12th century (as Middle Low German Berlyn). The origin is unknown. Slavic by the suffix -in. According to (incorrect) folk etymology, the name is derived from the Bär (“bear”) that is the symbol of the city. In a popular etymology of Germanists, it is derived from a Polabian stem *berl- ~ *birl- (“swamp”), for which lexical item there is no evidence in Polabian nor in any Slavic language. Closest to that would be an unknown simpler relative of *bьrlogъ (“cave”). Attested vocabulary is Polabian poro (“swamp, bog”). *bělь also meant a “swampy meadow” or “white field”, which fits the location at the märkische Streusandbüchse, the “Margraviate pounce box” notorious for its sandy soil, and is also the noun behind Belitz. === Pronunciation === (Standard New High German) IPA(key): [bɛʁˈliːn], [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn], (Berlinisch) IPA(key): [bɐ̠liːn], [bɐ̠liːən] === Proper noun === Berlin n (proper noun, genitive Berlins or (optionally with an article) Berlin, plural Berlin) Berlin (the capital and largest city and state of Germany) 1910, Karl Scheffler, author of Berlin: Ein Stadtschicksal: (metonymic) Berlin (federal government of Germany) ==== Meronyms ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Berliner Blau Berolina Berolinismus ==== Descendants ==== → Norwegian Bokmål: Berlin → Vietnamese: Béc-linh === See also === === References === == Hungarian == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈbɛrlin] Hyphenation: Ber‧lin Rhymes: -in === Proper noun === Berlin Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== berlini == Norwegian Bokmål == === Proper noun === Berlin Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Proper noun === Berlin Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) == Polish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈbɛr.lin/ Rhymes: -ɛrlin Syllabification: Ber‧lin === Proper noun === Berlin m inan (related adjective berliński) Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === See also === === Further reading === Berlin in Wielki słownik języka polskiego, Instytut Języka Polskiego PAN Berlin in Polish dictionaries at PWN == Portuguese == === Proper noun === Berlin f alternative form of Berlim == Romanian == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ber.ˈlin/ === Proper noun === Berlin n Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== berlinez m, berlineză f adjective: berlinez == Serbo-Croatian == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /běrliːn/ Hyphenation: Ber‧lin === Proper noun === Bèrlīn m inan (Cyrillic spelling Бѐрлӣн) Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) ==== Declension ==== == Slovene == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bɛrlìːn/ === Proper noun === Berlín m inan Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== Berlínčan / Berlínčanka berlínski === References === “Berlin”, in Slovarji Inštituta za slovenski jezik Frana Ramovša ZRC SAZU, portal Fran “Berlin”, in Termania, Amebis See also the general references == Swedish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /berˈliːn/ === Proper noun === Berlin n (genitive Berlins) Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) === References === Berlin in Svenska Akademiens ordlista (SAOL) Svensk MeSH == Tatar == === Proper noun === Berlin Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) ==== Declension ==== == Turkish == === Etymology === Inherited from Ottoman Turkish برلین (berlin), itself from German Berlin. === Proper noun === Berlin Berlin (the capital and largest city of Germany) Berlin (a state of Germany, containing the capital city) == Welsh == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /bɛrˈlɪn/ Rhymes: -ɪn === Proper noun === Berlin f (not mutable) Berlin (the capital city of Germany)
