And the close neighbors of Romania we say "ceainic" to kettle which does come from the root word "ceai".
- paganel 9y agoIn Southern Romania we tend to use "ibric" more, which comes directly from Turkish.
- chewz 9y agoIn Poland we also have a word 'imbryk' for a teapot but it is rarely used nowadays.
- Mediterraneo10 9y agoIn Transylvania, ibric is just the small pot used to brew Turkish coffee, while a tea kettle is ceainic. The terms don’t overlap. I recently heard from a Turk that ibrik in Turkish today refers only to the small bucket used for washing oneself in Middle Eastern toilets. For the pot used to brew coffee, they say cezve.
