Russian
editEtymology 1
editPronunciation
editVerb
editе́кать • (jékatʹ) impf (perfective е́кнуть)
- (linguistics) to pronounce unstressed e as such rather than as i (as characteristic of some Central and Northern Russian dialects)
Usage notes
edit- An example of this is pronouncing земля́ (zemljá) as [zʲemˈlʲa], instead of the Standard Russian pronunciation [zʲɪmˈlʲa], which could be respelled as *зимля́ (*zimljá).
- The opposing tendencies are known as и́кать (íkatʹ) (pronouncing unstressed e as i, as characteristic of standard Russian) and я́кать (jákatʹ) (pronouncing unstressed e as ja, as characteristic of some Southern Russian dialects and of standard Belarusian).
