-жимать

Russian

Etymology

From imperfective lengthening of the perfective Proto-Slavic stem *-žьm- (cf. first singular *žьmǫ of *žęti (“to squeeze”)) + -а́ть (-átʹ). Similar lengthening accounts for the change -о- → -а- in imperfective derivations in -ывать (-yvatʹ) and -ивать (-ivatʹ), e.g.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [ʐɨˈmatʲ]

Combining form
