Etymology 1

edit
 
English Wikipedia has an article on:
Wikipedia

Borrowed with an unspelled /h/ from Punic [script needed] (ḥawe, “live!”, 2sg. imp.), cognate to Hebrew חוה (“Chava, the biblical Eve”), and as avō from Punic [script needed] (ḥawū, 2pl. imp.), from Semitic root ḥ-w-y (live). The form might have been contaminated by Etymology 2, especially as the latter one's long vowel also ended up short via iambic shortening; this would explain the reluctance to spell the aspirate, as well as its interpretation as a verb form. Attested since Plautus.

Pronunciation

Interjection

edit

avē̆

  1. hail, hello, farewell, greetings! (a formal expression of greeting)
    Synonym: (h)avētō
    Aue Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
    Avē̆ atque valē!
    Hail and farewell! (esp. before a long departure and as a last good-bye to the dead).
    Avē̆ imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant!
    Hail, commander, the ones going to their deaths salute you!
Usage notes
edit
  • Outside of grammarians, the plural (h)avēte is attested only once in Apuleius, who is known for affecting archaisms. This suggests that this greeting didn't usually inflect for number, reflecting its originally being an interjection and not a verbal form; nevertheless, it was eventually widely interpreted as the latter.
  • The other verbal forms cited by grammarians are the future imperative avētō tū, ille (“greetings to you, him”) etc., and the infinitive in the circumlocution avēre tē volō (after the same use with valēre and the very rare salvēre).

Usage notes
edit
  • Before feminine nouns beginning with stressed /ˈa/ like ave, the singular definite article takes the form of el (otherwise reserved for masculine nouns) instead of the usual la: el ave. This includes the contracted forms al and del (instead of a la and de la, respectively): al ave, del ave.
This also applies to the indefinite article, which takes the form of un, which is otherwise used with masculine nouns (although the standard feminine form una also occurs): un ave or una ave. The same is true with determiners algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna, as well as for numerals ending with 1 (e.g., veintiún/veintiuna).
However, if another word intervenes between the article and the noun, the usual feminine singular articles and determiners (la, una etc.) are used: la mejor ave, una buena ave.
  • In these cases, el and un are not masculine but feminine, deriving from Latin illa and una, respectively, even though they are identical in form to the corresponding masculine singular articles. Thus, they are allomorphs of the feminine singular articles la and una.
  • The use of these allomorphs does not change the gender agreement of the adjectives modifying the feminine noun: el ave única, un(a) ave buena.
  • In the plural, the usual feminine plural articles and determiners (las, unas, etc.) are always used.
  • Ave is also the scientific term, while pájaro is used more in common speech for the smaller birds.
