Article edit

te

  1. (archaic) in idiom; a form of the definite article de
    Te drommel
    by Jove.

Usage notes edit

This preposition used to govern the dative case. It also fused with the dative forms of the definite article:

  • (at, in): ter = te + der for feminine singular.
  • (at, in): ten = te + den in all other cases.

Combinations with the nominative form of the article, like *te het or *te de have never become part of the language. The collapse of the inflection system and the related demise of the distinction between masculine and feminine gender (for most speakers) has pushed this preposition into partial disuse. It does however occur in a fair number of idiomatic expressions, often with fossilized case endings, e.g.:

te elfder ure.at the eleventh hour
te eigen batefor one's own profit

(Elfder, ure and bate are dative forms of elfde, uur and baat respectively.)

Alternative forms edit

  • Te (when used politely)

Etymology edit

From Proto-Finnic *tek, from Proto-Uralic *te. The word is inflected as plural, but there is no plural marker in the nominative, except in dialects (tet).

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /ˈte/, [ˈt̪e̞]
  • Rhymes: -e
  • Syllabification(key): te

Pronoun edit

te

  1. (personal) you (second-person plural; when addressing many persons or when addressing politely or formally one person)

Usage notes edit

  • Depending on the context, the pronoun can sometimes be omitted in written language if the text remains fluent – the pronoun is in spoken language practically always used (compare the usage of sinä (you sg)).
  • When addressing one person politely or formally, it is recommended to capitalize the pronoun in writing: Te.
  • When addressing only one person, the active past participle must be in the singular in the compound forms that use it (e.g. negative, perfect, pluperfect forms):
    • Te ette ollut täällä silloin. (negative past indicative)You were not here at that time.
    • Te olette ollut täällä silloin. (affirmative present perfect indicative)You have been here at that time.
    • Te ette ole ollut täällä silloin. (negative present perfect indicative)You have not been here at that time.
    • Te olisitte ollut täällä silloin. (affirmative present perfect conditional)You would have been here at that time.
    • Te ette olisi ollut täällä silloin. (negative present perfect conditional)You would have not been here at that time.
    • Te lienette ollut täällä silloin. (affirmative present perfect potential)You have probably been here at that time.
    • Te ette liene ollut täällä silloin. (negative present perfect potential)You haven't probably been here at that time.
    • Te olitte ollut täällä silloin. (affirmative past perfect indicative)You had been here at that time.
    • Te ette ollut ollut täällä silloin. (negative past perfect indicative; note the duplicate ollut)You had not been here at that time.

Declension edit

  • Irregular (inflectional stem tei-, as if in the plural). The comitative and instructive forms don't exist; the abessive is hardly used.
  • In addition to the standard set of cases, te and other personal pronouns have a specific accusative form, teidät.

White Hmong edit

Etymology edit

From Proto-Hmong *tæwᶜ (frost).[1]

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Doesn't really resemble any other "frost" word in the area. There is a similarity to Hungarian dér (frost), which is generally cited by Magyarologists as being of unknown origin. It is worth noting that, in addition to frost being uncommon or even nonexistent in the regions where Hmong-Mien is spoken, the Hmongic term does not seem to exist in Mienic, and that Hmongic populations are distinguished from Mienics by a noticeable presence of a paternal lineage strongly associated with ancient northeastern Chinese and Uralic populations, the latter which Hungarian belongs to. Perhaps these two terms are linked, though the hypothetical timescale of the relationship makes this virtually impossible to verify.”

Pronunciation edit

Noun edit

te (classifier: cov)

  1. frost
