Hungarian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From the same stem as rí (“to cry, weep; to howl, roar, bellow”) + -at (causative suffix). For the inserted -k-, compare rikácsol (“to screech, shriek”) and rikolt (“to squawk, cry out”).[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]ríkat
- (transitive) to make someone cry (weep)
- Antonym: nevettet (“to make someone laugh”)
Usage notes
[edit]The more usual verb that means “to cry, weep” (sír) cannot be used with a causative suffix to express the above sense, as sirat actually means “to weep, mourn for/over someone or something”.
