Galician edit
Etymology edit
From Old Galician-Portuguese ellas, from Latin illās, accusative feminine plural of ille. The dative form is from Latin illīs.
Pronunciation edit
Pronoun edit
elas f pl (accusative as, dative lles)
Usage notes edit
The accusative form as has variant forms las and nas. These alternative forms appear depending on the ending of the preceding word. The form las is used when the preceding word ends in -r or -s. The nas 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 as (“I gave you them”) contracts to Dou chas.
