Usage notes

  • The word ко́фе is attested as neuter from the 17th century and also as masculine from the 18th century; several alternative forms had been used, but they became obsolete over time. Ushakov's Dictionary (1935) labelled the word ко́фе as masculine and (colloquially) neuter; later Soviet dictionaries prescribed masculine as the only correct gender. The use of masculine is often explained by existence of obsolete forms ко́фей (kófej) and ко́фий (kófij), but in the 19th century masculine was often used besides neuter also for other indeclinable loanwords ending in -о, -е (such as пальто́ (palʹtó), now neuter only). In practice, the word ко́фе was often informally treated as neuter: горя́чее ко́феgorjáčeje kófehot coffee. In 1983, the Pronouncing Dictionary of the Russian Language (Орфоэпический словарь русского языка) edited by R. I. Avanesov labelled the word as masculine and (accepted) neuter. Current Russian dictionaries label the word as masculine and (colloquially) neuter; the usage of neuter, however, still remains controversial and is often regarded as uneducated.
  • Since the lack of declension may be inconvenient for some people, the diminutive forms of ко́фе, кофеёк (kofejók) or the dated form ко́фий (kófij), are occasionally used. Some ostensible case inflections are more common than others, e.g. the instrumental form ко́фем, but such inflected forms are non-standard and rarely used even in informal speech.
