Etymology
The pronunciations in different Chinese varieties originate from a variety of languages: : Other pronunciations, such as Taiwanese Hokkien ka-pi, Taiwanese Hakka kâ-pî, Teochew gia¹ hui¹ and Eastern Min gă-pĭ, are likely literal pronunciations of the individual characters (cf. Japanese 珈琲), inferred using the youbian dubian (有邊讀邊) method. The loanwords all ultimately trace back to Italian caffè, from Ottoman Turkish قهوه (kahve), from Arabic قَهْوَة (qahwa, “coffee”).
