коса
Bulgarian edit
Pronunciation edit
Etymology 1 edit
From Proto-Slavic *kosa (“hair”).
Noun edit
коса́ • (kosá) f (relational adjective коса́т, diminutive коси́ца or коси́чка)
- (countable) hair (the collection or mass of filaments growing from the skin of humans and animals)
- (countable) corn silk
- Synonym: реса́ (resá)
- (by extension) spit (geological formation)
Usage notes edit
- Although technically countable, this word is almost always used uncountably to refer to a person's entire head of hair, e.g. моята коса ― mojata kosa ― my hair.
- In the plural, it takes the form коси́ (kosí), accentuating the individuality of the hairs or their number: Помня косите ѝ. ― Pomnja kosite ì. ― I remember her hairs.
