-овик
Russian
Alternative forms
- -евик (-evik) — after a palatalized or formerly palatalized consonant
Etymology
Originally from -ик (-ik) added to adjectives ending in -овый (-ovyj) or -ово́й (-ovój); later extracted out as its own suffix.
Pronunciation
- -овик: IPA(key): [əvʲɪk]
- -ови́к: IPA(key): [ɐˈvʲik]
Suffix
-овик or -ови́к • (-ovik or -ovík) m inan or m anim
- suffix appended to nouns to form related nouns of various sorts, both animate and inanimate, generally referring to more specific objects than the base lemma
Usage notes
- For many, perhaps most, nouns ending in -овик (-ovik), the base noun has a corresponding relational adjective in -овый (-ovyj) or -ово́й (-ovój), in which case an analysis of the noun as formed from the relational adjective + -ик (-ik) is still possible, and in same cases preferred.
- As with -ик (-ik), the suffix may be stressed, in which case it is in accent pattern b (always ending-stressed).
- The suffix becomes -евик (-evik) after a palatalized consonant (including unpaired ч щ /j/) or a formerly palatalized consonant (ш ж ц).
