ItalianEdit

EtymologyEdit

Contraction of the preposition di (“of, from”).

PronunciationEdit

PrepositionEdit

d' (apocopated)

  1. (sometimes before a vowel or an h) Apocopic form of di: of
    Follia d'amore ― Madness of love.
    Un bicchiere d'acqua. ― A glass of water.

Usage notesEdit

In some rare cases d' represents the preposition da:

d'ora in poi (“from now on”)
= da ora in poi
d'ora in avanti (“from now on”)
= da ora in avanti

LuxembourgishEdit

PronunciationEdit

  • IPA(key): /d/ (before vowels and voiced consonants)
  • IPA(key): /t/ (before voiceless consonants)
  • IPA(key): /-/ (sometimes; see usage notes below)

DeterminerEdit

d' f or n

  1. Reduced form of déi
  2. Reduced form of dat

Usage notesEdit

  • This article form is commonly not pronounced between /t/ and another consonant, and occasionally otherwise when the combination of preceding and following consonants creates an impossible cluster. Only rarely is this muteness avoided by using the full form of the article. Rather, the lack of an indefinite article becomes a definite article by default. Occasional ambiguities, particularly in the plural, are tolerated.
