@AndrewGrimm Кофе matches at least the spelling in French, if not the pronunciation Кофе is a difficult compromise between Dutch (originally it was Кофий in Russian) and French.

@AndrewGrimm well tomate, just like I've said is pronounced without -o - and that's the reason why when it was borrower from French there was no -о as well. So I still insist- how this does not answer the question? You've asked about the origin of this word in Russian and here it is.

| Mar 7, 2017 at 1:25 | comment | added | shabunc♦ | @AndrewGrimm how come? It was borrowed from French where it was pronounced exactly this way, пианио and метро were borrowed from word that were ended at -о. | |
