Meaning & usage

particle/ˈe.vet/[ˈe̞ve̞t̟]/ˈeːt/
  1. yes

Where this word comes from

From Ottoman Turkish أوت (evet), from Proto-Common Turkic. Cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (yemet, “yes”). Nişanyan suggest that it may be a doublet of dialectal evet (“quickly”) and suggests a derivation from Proto-Turkic *ẹ̄b- (“to be quick”) whence ivmek. EDAL considers Chuvash аван (avan) to also be a cognate and reconstructs Proto-Turkic *ebe-, however such a root is not reconstructed outside of EDAL.
