kaffe
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
From French café or German Kaffee, from Ottoman Turkish قهوه (kahve, “coffee”), from Arabic قَهْوَة (qahwa, “coffee, a brew”).
kaffe c (singular definite kaffen, not used in plural form)
Latvian kafija seems unlikely as a mediator (unless the addition of -ija (as popularized by Juris Alunāns) is a more recent development, Karulis doesn't list kafija) thus possibly directly from German Kaffee.
kaffe
Singular partitive with -zt (as in types 57 – kuțā and 58 – nētša) can be encountered, Viitso, however, indicates inflection type 56 – lilla.
