Etymology

edit

From Ottoman Turkish أوت (evet), from Common Turkic.[1][2][3] Cognate with Karakhanid [script needed] (yemet, “yes”). Nişanyan suggest that it may be a doublet of dialectal evet (“quickly”) and suggests a derivation from Proto-Turkic *ẹ̄b- (“to be quick”) whence ivmek, however note the mismatch in initial vowels.[4] EDAL considers Chuvash аван (avan) to also be a cognate and reconstructs Proto-Turkic *ebe-,[5] however such a root is unattested and usually not reconstructed outside of EDAL.

Replaced the formerly prevalent ha (“yes”), now largely limited to dialectal and colloquial use.
