Etymology

bayağı has arguably split into two words, itself and baya, evidenced by the fact that the adjectival form meaning "vulgar, low, common, rude" is rarely if ever spelled baya. Speakers may also not perceive them to be the same word. Furthermore, the reduplicative intensive form basbaya is almost never spelled basbayağı apart from in prescriptive dictionaries.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈba.jaː/
  • Hyphenation: ba‧ya

Adverb

baya

  1. pronunciation spelling of bayağı (“really, quite, actually”)

Noun

baya

  1. dative singular of bay
