ньюйоркец

Russian

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): [nʲʉˈjɵrkʲɪt͡s] (phonetic respelling: нюйо́ркец)

Noun

ньюйо́ркец • (nʹjujórkecm anim (genitive ньюйо́ркца, nominative plural ньюйо́ркцы, genitive plural ньюйо́ркцев)

  1. New Yorker, person from New York

Usage notes

  • This demonym sounds awkward and is generally avoided due to violating the regular velar palatalization rule turning к/г/х into ч/ж/ш before certain suffixes; the expected form would be *ньюйо́рчец (compare га́мбуржец (gámburžec) from Га́мбург (Gámburg)). Additionally, there is no feminine form for ; as a result, жи́тель (m.) and жи́тельница (f.) Нью-Йо́рка ("citizen/dweller of New York") are used instead.
