raupjš

== Latvian == === Etymology === From an earlier adjective *raupus (yielding two parallel forms, a yo-stem form that became standard raupjš and an o-stem form that yielded the archaic noun raups), from the o-grade form *roup- of Proto-Indo-European *reup-, *rūp-, *rup- (“to pull, to tear, to break”) (from the *rup- form comes the adjective rupjš, q.v.), from the stem *reu- (“to peel, to pluck, to dig”). The semantic evolution was probably “to pluck, to tear (e.g., wool, feathers)” > (adj.) “uneven, harsh” (skin, after removing wool, feathers) > “harsh, rugged.”. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ràwpʲʃ] === Adjective === raupjš (definite raupjais, comparative raupjāks, superlative visraupjākais, adverb raupji) rough, harsh, uneven, rugged (having an irregular, not smooth, harsh surface) raupjas rokas ― harsh, rough, hardened hands raupja miza ― rough, harsh bark (of fabric, cloth) rough (not soft) raupja sega ― rough blanket šis raupjais kokvilnas palags ― these rough cotton sheets (of hair, fur, plants) hard, coarse, not soft raupji mati ― hard, coarse hair (of people, their behavior, appearance) simple, not subtle, not refined, not sophisticated mūsu tautas zemnieciski raupjajās un naivajās pasakās visur ir daiļi cilvēki ― in our people's rustic, rough and naive tales, there are beautiful people everywhere (of people, their behavior, appearances) harsh, rugged, impolite (without empathy or affection; expressing lack of empathy or affection) stringrs un raupjš gan arī esot priekšsēdētājs ― the chairman was apparently also strict and harsh raupji vaibsti ― harsh (facial) features (of words, speech) rough, offensive, indecent karstu dusmu šļākumam raupji vārdi seko ― (after) the gushing of hot anger, rough, offensive words followed (rare, of raindrops, hail) big, large tik negants vējš, un nakts, un tumsa, un raupjām lāsēm lietus līst ― such furious wind, and night, and darkness, and the rain is falling in big (rain)drops ==== Declension ==== ==== Synonyms ==== ass negluds rupjš (of hair): ciets ==== Antonyms ==== gluds maigs mīksts ==== Derived terms ==== raupjums === References ===
