-тирать

Russian

Etymology

From imperfective lengthening of the perfective Proto-Slavic stem *-tьr- (cf. first singular *tьrǫ of *terti) + -а́ть (-átʹ). Similar lengthening accounts for the change -о- → -а- in imperfective derivations in -ывать (-yvatʹ) and -ивать (-ivatʹ), e.g.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [tʲɪˈratʲ]

Combining form

-тира́ть • (-tirátʹ) impf (perfective -тере́ть)
