Turkish edit

Etymology edit

Inherited from Ottoman Turkish توكورمك (tükürmek, to spit), itself from Proto-Turkic *tüpkür- (to spit). Perhaps related further with Proto-Tungusic *tupi- (to spit), compare Nanai топин- (topin). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /ty.cyɾ.ˈmec/
  • Hyphenation: tü‧kür‧mek

Verb edit

tükürmek (third-person singular simple present tükürür)

  1. (transitive) to spit (to evacuate saliva from the mouth)
