esmer

== Old French == === Alternative forms === asmer, aesmer === Etymology === Inherited from Latin aestimāre, possibly with the prefix ad- (cf. Medieval Latin adaestimare). Eventually replaced with a borrowing in Middle and modern French (estimer), as this word came too close in pronunciation to aimer (similar due to this word later became pronounced like modern *êmer). === Verb === esmer to estimate; to work out through thought to like; to love; to respect ==== Conjugation ==== This verb conjugates as a first-group verb ending in -er. In the present tense an extra supporting e is needed in the first-person singular indicative and throughout the singular subjunctive, and the third-person singular subjunctive ending -t is lost. Old French conjugation varies significantly by date and by region. The following conjugation should be treated as a guide. ==== Descendants ==== → Middle English: amen, aimen, eimen English: aim == Turkish == === Etymology === From Ottoman Turkish اسمر (esmer), from Arabic أَسْمَر (ʔasmar). === Adjective === esmer having a rich olive skin tone; tan, tanned, dark brunet or brunette (having brown or black hair) ==== Declension ==== === Noun === esmer (definite accusative esmeri, plural esmerler) someone brunet or brunette ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== kara (obsolete) karaşın === References === Devellioğlu, Ferit (1962), “esmer”, in Osmanlıca-Türkçe Ansiklopedik Lûgat‎‎[1] (in Turkish), Istanbul: Türk Dil Kurumu, page 280 Nişanyan, Sevan (2002–), “esmer”, in Nişanyan Sözlük
