/ˈrɑkɑs/, [ˈrɑ̝kɑ̝s̠]
AlkuperäFrom Proto-Finnic *rak'as, cognate with Karelian rakas (“willing, eager, kind, dear”). Traditionally held to derive from Proto-Finno-Ugric *rakka (“near; to approach”) (compare Hungarian rokon (“relative”)), but more recently proposed to be borrowed from Proto-Germanic *frakaz (“greedy, lustful”); the former theory suffers from a lack of cognates in other languages.
- dear, beloved, cherished
“Olet minulle rakas.” — You are dear to me.
“Nämä olivat minun rakkaimmat leluni, kun olin lapsi.” — These were my most beloved toys when I was a child.
- dialectal, rareeager, willing, greedy
- darling, sweetheart, love
“rakkaani” — my sweetheart
“Rakas, tulisitko tänne?” — Dear, could you come here?
