Pronoun Edit

es n

  1. Nominative and accusative neuter third-person singular personal pronoun
    Wo ist das Buch? Es liegt auf dem Tisch. ― Where's the book? It’s on the table.
    Wo ist das Kind? Ich habe es. ― Where is the child? I have it.
    Welche Farbe hat das Pferd? Es ist weiß. ― What color is the horse? It is white.
    Ich bemerkte ein merkwürdiges bärtiges Individuum und beschloss, es im Auge zu behalten. ― I remarked a strange bearded individual and decided to keep an eye on him.
    Das Mädchen wusste nicht, dass es beobachtet wurde. ― The girl didn’t know that she was being observed.
    Jedes Vorstandsmitglied kann das Wort ergreifen, wenn es dies wünscht. ― Any board member may take the floor if they so wish.
    • 1952, Marie Luise Kaschnitz, Das dicke Kind:
      Das Kind sagte nichts und sah mich mit seinen kühlen Augen an. Dann war es fort.
      The child said nothing and looked at me with her cold eyes. Then she was gone.
  2. Impersonal pronoun used to refer to statements, activities, the environment etc., or as a placeholder/dummy pronoun — it
    Das kann es nicht geben. ― This is nothing that could possibly exist.
    Sie begann zu laufen, und ich tat es auch. ― She started to run, and so did I. (literally, “She began to run, and I did it also.”)
    Es war einmal eine schöne Prinzessin. ― There was once a beautiful princess.
    Es ist gut zu leben! ― It's good to be alive!
    Es regnet. ― It’s raining.
    Es ist sicher, dass morgen die Sonne scheinen wird. ― It's certain that the sun will shine tomorrow.

    Ich bin es, Michael. ― It's me, Michael.
    Es spielt das Fernsehorchester. ― The television orchestra is playing.
    Sie wird es noch weit bringen. ― She is going to go far.
Usage notes Edit
  • As a pronoun referring to people who are grammatically neutral, it is sometimes considered old-fashioned or dated to insist on using the neutral es instead of er/sie, especially for Mädchen, in spoken language, and when there is a large distance between when the person is introduced and when the corresponding pronoun is used.
  • In a small and closed set of phrases, es continues a Middle High German ës which was the genitive of ëz: Ich bin es müde ‘I am tired of it’.
  • In the colloquial speech of some areas, this pronoun is fully replaced with the demonstrative pronoun das, with which it shares the unstressed reduction /s/. This reflects a similar development for sie/die, but predates it.

Synonyms Edit

Latvian Edit

Etymology 1 Edit

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *ēź-, from Proto-Indo-European *eǵ (from *éǵh₂). The non-nominative forms derive from Proto-Indo-European dependent stem *me- (the a instead of e in the Baltic languages appears to result from Iranian influence): reduplicated *me-me- → *mene → Proto-Baltic genitive/accusative *mane → *manen (by analogy with other accusatives) → *manens (by analogy with other genitives) → genitive manis, while *manen → accusative mani. Dative man comes from an older *mani. Instrumental variant manim imitates the nominal i-stem paradigm. Cognates include Lithuanian aš (archaic eš), Old Prussian es, as, Sudovian as, Proto-Slavic *(j)azъ (Old Church Slavonic азъ (azŭ), Old East Slavic ꙗзъ (jazŭ), Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian я (ja), Bulgarian аз (az), Czech já (from jaz), Polish ja (from jaz)), Proto-Germanic *ekan, *ek (Gothic 𐌹𐌺 (ik), Old Norse ek, Old High German ih, German ich, Old English ic, English I), Hittite [script needed] (uk), Sanskrit अहम् (ahám), Avestan 𐬀𐬰𐬆𐬨‎ (azəm), Ancient Greek ἐγώ (egṓ), Latin ego, Ossetian ӕз (æz).[1]
