Pronunciation

- декори́ровать (dekorírovatʹ, “to decorate”) + -а́тор (-átor) → декора́тор (dekorátor, “decorator”)

Usage notes
[edit]- This suffix is added to verbs in -и́ровать (-írovatʹ), -ирова́ть (-irovátʹ) and -ова́ть (-ovátʹ), and replaces these suffixes. Most (but not all) such verbs are derived from foreign words, especially words of Latin origin.
