Etymology

Unclear. Perhaps related (although Vasmer found it unconvincing) to Old Church Slavonic шаръ (šarŭ, color, paint), Old Church Slavonic шарити (šariti, to paint), Old Church Slavonic шаръчи (šarŭči, painter), which probably derive from an early Turkic borrowing into Slavic; cf. Proto-Turkic *siarïg (yellow, white). In that case, the sense development might have been “color, paint” → “spot” → “round object”.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key):
  • Audio:(file)
  • Rhymes: -ar

Noun

шар (šarm inan (genitive ша́ра, nominative plural шары́, genitive plural шаро́в, relational adjective шарово́й, diminutive ша́рик)

  1. ball, solid sphere
  2. (mathematics) ball (the set of points lying within a given distance from a given point)
  3. balloon

Usage notes

  • After the numbers 2, 3 and 4, and related higher numbers, the stress in the genitive singular falls on the final syllable: два́дцать два́ шара́ (dvádcatʹ dvá šará, twenty-two balls/balloons). In the mathematical sense, however, ша́ра is used even when counting: три ша́ра (tri šára, three (mathematical) balls).
