Cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (yemet, “yes”). Nişanyan suggest that it may be a doublet of dialectal evet (“quickly”) and suggests a derivation from Proto-Turkic *ẹ̄b- (“to be quick”) whence ivmek, however note the mismatch in initial vowels. EDAL considers Chuvash аван (avan) to also be a cognate and reconstructs Proto-Turkic *ebe-, however such a root is unattested and usually not reconstructed outside of EDAL. Replaced the formerly prevalent ha (“yes”), now largely limited to dialectal and colloquial use. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /e.vet/, [e̞ˈvɛt̟], (informal, some speakers) [e̞ːt̟] === Interjection === evet yes === Particle === evet yes === Synonyms === beli ha he oldu olur peki tamam ya === Antonyms === hayır yok === References ===
