CatalanEdit

EtymologyEdit

From the final syllable of Latin domina (“Lady”).

PronunciationEdit

(Central) IPA^(key): /nə/
(Valencian) IPA^(key): /na/

ArticleEdit

na f sg (elided n', masculine en)

(Eastern Catalan) Personal article used before feminine given names instead of the definite article la.
En Pau i na Maria arribaran demà.
Pau and Maria will be arriving tomorrow.

Usage notesEdit

While this article (and its masculine counterpart en) is standard in Balearic Catalan, in other Eastern Catalan dialects its use is waning, and the elided of the definite article, l', is used before names beginning with vowels. There is no plural personal article, so the plural definite article les is used in all dialects.

Mi legis na Gerda Malaperis.
I read Gerda Disappeared.

Usage notesEdit

Unofficial; it is recognized by some Esperantists on the Internet, but disapproved by most high-level speakers. Proponents recommended using it only where the accusative suffix isn't possible: with numerals (unu (“one”)), particles (iom (“some”), kies (“whose”)), letters (J), titles of books, and quotations, etc. More standard options are to use the general preposition je, to omit the accusative ending, or to rephrase the sentence to avoid the issue.

Usage notesEdit

Older or more conservative Swahili writings only use na to connect two nouns, never to connect two adjectives; the second adjective is changed into an abstract noun instead. However, in modern colloquial Swahili, this is not always the case.

na can be suffixed with special suffixes (for human pronominals) or any -o of reference (for other objects) to inflect it with an object (for example, nayo = "with it"):
