  • Audio:(file)
  • Lua error in Module:parameters at line 159: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value old Moscow accent is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. IPA(key): [t͡səɫɐˈvatʲ] (phonetic respelling: цалова́ть)

Verb

целова́ть (celovátʹimpf (perfective поцелова́ть)

  1. to kiss, to give a kiss
    Synonym: лобза́ть (lobzátʹ)

Usage notes

  • This is more of a transitive verb in the sense of one person kissing another, and not necessarily a shared or mutual kiss implied in the plural conjugations of the English verb (we kissed (each other), you kissed (each other), they kissed (each other), etc.). For implication of mutual kissing, see целова́ться (celovátʹsja).
