vārīt

== Latvian == === Etymology === From the same source as virt (“to boil”), of which it originally was the causative form. The vowel ā is unexpected, which made some specialists suggest that vārīt is ultimately a borrowing from Slavic; however, the expected form *vērt is attested in the 17th-century verb izvērt, and vārīt could be a regular iterative form of this unattested verb *vērt. Cognates include Lithuanian varùs (“easy to boil”), Old Church Slavonic варити (variti), Russian вари́ть (varítʹ), Belarusian вары́ць (varýcʹ), Ukrainian вари́ти (varýty), Bulgarian варя́ (varjá), Czech vařiti, Polish warzyć. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈvàːɾîːt] IPA(key): [ˈvāːɾîːt] === Verb === vàrît, vãrît (transitive, 3rd conjugation, present vāru, vāri, vāra, past vārīju) to boil (to heat something up to ebullition temperature) vārīt pienu, sveķus ― to boil milk, resin vārošs piens ― boiling (hot) milk vārīt udeni piecas minūtes ― to boil water for five minutes to boil, to cook (to prepare food in boiling water or in some other boiling liquid) vārīt olas ― to boil eggs vārīt gaļu, kartupeļus ― to cook meat, potatoes vārīt tēju ― to make (lit. boil, cook) tea vārīt pusdienas, vakariņas ― to cook lunch, dinner viņi visi lielā sirsnībā apsēdās pie ugunskura, vārīja putraimu biezputru ― all of them sat by the fireplace with great sincerity, (and) cooked groat porridge un piedevām var sieva būt, / kas vārīt prot un pogas šūt ― and in addition she can be a wife / who can cook and sew buttons to soak (to put in a liquid, usually water, for some time) (of clothes) vārīt veļu ― to soak the laundry gultas veļa (arī miesas veļa) mazgājot jāvāra un labi jāizgludina ― (while) washing the bed linen (and also personal items), (all) must be soaked and well ironed to prepare, make something in a process that involves a heated liquid vārīt konfektes, sīrupu ― to make candy, syrup vārīt ziepes ― to make soap Vaidupes māte prata vārīt zāles dažādām kaitēm ― Mother Vaidupe knew how to make medicine for various diseases ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== prefixed verbs: other derived terms: vārījums vārīties ==== Related terms ==== virt virtuve === References ===
