From Middle Low German koffe, ultimately from Arabic قَهْوَة (qahwa, “coffee”).
kohv (genitive kohvi, partitive kohvi)
The genitive form kohvi is sometimes mistaken for the nominative form, as most other languages have a second syllable in their respective translations of the word (cf English coffee, Finnish kahvi etc.).
