Chinese Edit

Glyph origin Edit

Characters in the same phonetic series (言) (Zhengzhang, 2003) 
Old Chinese
唁 *ŋrans
這 *ŋrans
言 *ŋan
琂 *ŋan
圁 *ŋrɯn
誾 *ŋrɯn
訔 *ŋrɯn
狺 *ŋrɯn, *ŋɯn

Phono-semantic compound (形聲, OC *ŋrans): semantic 辶 (“walk”) + phonetic 言 (OC *ŋan).

The character was originally a verb meaning “to meet”, whose modern pronunciation is yàn. It was later borrowed for the proximal demonstrative “this/here”, by a confusion in medieval handwriting with 遮 (zhē, “this”).

Etymology 1 Edit

trad. 這
simp. 这
alternative forms
 
遮 archaic
者 archaic
只 archaic
拓 archaic
迓 (liá; yá) Hakka
遮 archaic
者 archaic
只 archaic
拓 archaic
迓 (liá; yá) Hakka
邇／迩 (liá; yá) Hakka
即 (chit) Hokkien

First attested in the Tang dynasty; etymology unclear. Proposed etymologies:

  • From 者 (OC *tjaːʔ, “one which”) (Lü, 1985). Wang (1990) notes that 者 always occurs after what is referred to, where as 這 always before.
    者 (OC *tjaːʔ, “one which”) > 者 (MC tsyaeX, “this (possessive case)”) > 者 (MC tsyaeX, “this (general demonstrative)”) > Mandarin 這／这 (zhè).
  • From 之 (OC *tjɯ, “this; it”) (Wang, 1990). Norman (1988) notes that this derivation would be phonologically problematic.

Pronunciation Edit

Note: zhèi - colloquial contraction of 這一／这一 (zhèyī), used when it is followed by classifier or numeral + classifier.
Note: ze3, ze5 - rare.
Note:
  • ché, zê3 - literary;
  • liá/yá, gê3/ê3 - may be etymologically unrelated to the Mandarin readings.
  • Jin
    • Note: zei3 - determiner (contraction of 這一／这一 (zeh4 ieh4)).
    Note: literary.
    Note:
    • ché/chí/che - pronoun (chí usually written as 只 (zhǐ)), may be etymologically unrelated to the Mandarin readings;
    • chit - determiner (contraction of 這一／这一), may be etymologically unrelated to the Mandarin readings;
    • chiá - literary.
  • Wu
