EstonianEdit
VerbEdit
ela
GalicianEdit
EtymologyEdit
From Old Portuguese ela, from Latin illa (“that”), feminine of ille. The dative is from Old Portuguese lle, from Latin illī.
PronounEdit
ela m (accusative a, dative lle)
Usage notesEdit
The accusative form a has variant forms la and na. These alternative forms appear depending on the ending of the preceding word. The form la is used when the preceding word ends in -r or -s. The na form is used when the preceding word ends in -u or a diphthong. These alternative forms are then suffixed to the preceding word.
The accusative also forms contractions when it immediately follows an indirect object pronoun. For example, Dou che a (“I gave you it”) contracts to Dou cha.
