PrepositionEdit

da

  1. Of (used instead of de with quantities, to emphasize the quantity rather than the thing quantified, or to indicate the unity of a shape and its material, a container and its contents, or a group and its members)[1][2]
    glaso da vino‎ ― a glass of wine
    kilogramo da viando‎ ― a kilogram of meat
    grupo da homoj‎ ― a group of people
    kvar metroj da ĉi tiu ŝtofo kostas naŭ frankojn‎ ― four meters of this cloth costs nine francs
    Li ligis la tri florojn en bukedon, kaj prezentis al ŝi tiun bukedon da floroj‎ ― He tied the three flowers into a bouquet, and presented her with this bouquet of flowers
    listo da kandidatoj‎ ― a list of candidates (of their names: compare listo da kondiĉoj de la kandidatoj‎ ― a list of conditions from the candidates)
    skatolo da ĉokolado‎ ― a box of chocolates (a boxful of chocolate: compare skatolo de ĉokolado‎ ― a chocolates box (the box itself, made for chocolates, but now perhaps used to store paper clips), and skatolo el ĉokolado‎ ― a box made of chocolate)

    sistemo da sonoj por la esprimado de pensoj‎ ― a system of sounds for the expression of thought
    ho, se mia kapo havus sufiĉe da akvo kaj miaj okuloj estus fonto da larmoj!‎ ― oh, if my head had enough water, and my eyes were a spring of tears! (compare fonto de akvo‎ ― a spring of water, which indicates the kind of spring rather than a unity of eyes and tears)

Usage notesEdit

Unlike most prepositions, da cannot occur after a verb. It necessarily links two nouns.

The article la does not occur after the preposition da, and this is often mistakenly understood to mean that the quantity introduced by da must be indefinite. However, there is no such restriction, any more than there is with possessive pronouns such as mia 'my', which also do not allow the article. Because of the unity of the two nouns linked by da, only the phrase can be modified by the article, so it must precede the first noun. See the fourth and fifth examples above.

Some Esperanto dictionaries substitute listo de and tuto de for listo da and tuto da. This is an error, an influence of Western languages which do not have an equivalent to da.

RomanianEdit

PronunciationEdit

Etymology 1Edit

From a Slavic language (e.g. Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian, Russian), from Proto-Slavic *da.

More information
Another less likely (and controversial) theory argues that, being such a common and basic word, a borrowing seems unusual and it perhaps derived originally from the Latin ita, one of several ways to say "thus", "so" or "yes", and that it may have been influenced by the da, also meaning "yes", in the surrounding Slavic languages before reaching its present state. [1] See also dacă. Nonetheless, Romanian etymological dictionaries derive it from a Slavic language, which is almost certainly the source. [2].

InterjectionEdit

da

  1. yes
AntonymsEdit

Etymology 2Edit

From Latin dare, present active infinitive of dō, ultimately from Proto-Italic *didō, from Proto-Indo-European *dédeh₃ti, from the root *deh₃- ‎(“give”). Compare Aromanian dau, dari, Italian dare, Spanish dar.
