editLetter
edity (lower case, upper case Y)
- A letter of the extended Hungarian alphabet, called ipszilon and written in the Latin script.
Usage notes
editAs shown in the alphabet below, this letter normally occurs in Hungarian words only as part of four digraphs: gy, ly, ny, and ty (with their long counterparts: ggy, lly, nny, tty). Aside from them, the terms containing y defined in an extensive Hungarian monolingual dictionary[1] are baby-doll, baby-sitter, body (“bodice”), body-building / bodyzik / bodyzó, boy, brandy, citoyen, country/countryzene, cowboy/cowboyfilm/cowboykalap, curry, disc-jockey, doyen, dry, dyn, fair play, háryjános/háryjánoskodik, intercity, joystick, play back, playboy, royalista, sherry, spray, whisky, yard, yperit, yuppie, złoty and the letter itself. Additionally, a newer and more comprehensive but as yet incomplete dictionary[2] contains bicsérdysta, byte, copyright, and cowboycsizma. (The forms dandy, gentry, happy end (“happy ending”), jersey, maya, nylon, and yen are also mentioned as alternative forms in the former volume, but their current standard spelling is dendi, dzsentri, dzsörzé, hepiend, jen, maja, and nejlon.)
Proper names written with y include the country names Guyana, Paraguay, Seychelle-szigetek, and Uruguay and the capital names Conakry, Port Moresby, and Reykjavík. Other names deriving from Latin alphabets are also retained (such as English Calgary, Hollywood, Kentucky, Montgomery, New Jersey, New York, Sydney, Wyoming etc., German Bayreuth, Speyer, Steyr, French Lyon, Mayotte, Nancy, Vichy, and Polish Białystok, Bydgoszcz, Przemyśl). Otherwise, this letter is usually transcribed in country and city names, for example Jemen (“Yemen”), Malajzia (“Malaysia”), Nepjida (“Naypyidaw”), and Rijád (“Riyadh”).

Etymology 2
editFrom Middle Welsh y, yr, from Old Welsh ir, ultimately from Proto-Celtic *sindos.
Alternative forms
editPronunciation
editArticle
edity (definite) (triggers soft mutation of a feminine singular noun, except ll and rh remain unmutated)
Etymology 3
editMerger of two formerly distinct particles, ydd and yd.
- (1) from earlier ydd, from Middle Welsh yð, from Proto-Celtic *ide- (compare Breton e, ez, Cornish y, yth, Old Irish id), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁i-dʰei- (compare Latin ibi (“here”), Avestan 𐬌𐬛𐬁 (idā, “here, in the same way”), and Sanskrit इह (ihá, “here”)).
- (2) from earlier yd, from Middle Welsh yt, from Old Welsh it, from Proto-Celtic *ita- (compare Breton e, ez); akin to Latin ita (“so, thus”), dialectal Lithuanian it (“as”), and Sanskrit íti (“thus, in this manner”).
Alternative forms
edit- yr (used before vowels and h)
Pronunciation
editParticle
edity
- (literary) that (preverbal particle used to mark a subordinate clause)
- Wyt ti'n meddwl y gall hi ddod?
- Do you think that she can come?
- Mae hi'n gwybod y byddet ti'n gwrando arni hi.
- She knows that you would listen to her.
- (literary) which, whom (particle used with indirect relative clauses)
- y dyn y dysgais ei fab ― the man whose son I taught
- y ferch y gwrandewais arni ― the girl to whom I listened
- (literary) preverbal particle used to mark an affirmative verb in a main clause
- 1620, William Morgan, Y Bibl Cyssegr-lan, Genesis 1:1:
- Yn y dechreuad y creodd Duw y nefoedd a’r ddaear.
- In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
- Synonyms: mi, fe (colloquial)
Usage notes
edit- y is almost always omitted in colloquial speech.
- y is used to mean 'that' (i.e. mark a subordinate clause) when the subordinate clause begins with an affirmative form of bod not in the present tense, or another affirmative verb in any tense apart from the preterite.
