Hunsrik
Etymology
Proto-Indo-European *-éh₂ Hunsrik grávida
Unadapted borrowing from Brazilian Portuguese grávida.
Pronunciation
Adjective
grávida (not comparable)
- pregnant
- Synonym: schwanger
Usage notes
- Apparently, Hunsrik had no word for pregnant, as speakers can't point out any native term for it when asked.[1] If not for the Portuguese borrowing, circumlocutions like Kind waarte (“to wait for a child”) are used.[2] Schwanger was most likely borrowed from German.
