semaver

== Turkish == === Etymology === From Ottoman Turkish سماور (semaver), from Russian самова́р (samovár, “self-boiler”); from само́ (samó, “self”) + вари́ть (varítʹ, “to boil; to cook”). Apparently mediated or influenced by Persian سماور (samâvar, “samovar”). The pronunciation with long /a:/ may have originated due to speakers believing the word to be of Arabic or Persian origin (many such words have long vowels). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /se.maːˈveɾ/ === Noun === semaver (definite accusative semaveri, plural semaverler) samovar ==== Declension ==== === References === “semaver”, in Turkish dictionaries, Türk Dil Kurumu
