[[Category:English two-letter words]] ---- ==Basque== ===Noun=== '''te''' # [[tea]]. ---- ==Catalan== ===Etymology 1=== ====Noun==== {{ca-noun|f}} # The letter [[T]] (lowercase [[t]]). [[Category:ca:Latin letters]] ===Etymology 2=== ====Pronoun==== {{infl|ca|pronoun|g=2 {{s}} weak|reinforced|et|elided|'t|reduced|t'}} # [[thee]]; second person weak pronoun ===Etymology 3=== ====Noun==== {{ca-noun|m}} # The [[tea plant]]; (''[[Camellia sinensis]]'') [[Category:ca:Plants]] [[Category:ca:Agriculture]] # [[tea]]; the product made from the leaves of the tea plant [[Category:ca:Beverages]] # [[tea]]; a light afternoon meal at which tea is commonly served [[Category:ca:Meals]] ---- ==Classical Nahuatl== ===Pronoun=== '''te''' # {{alternative spelling of|teh}} ---- ==Danish== ===Noun=== {{da-noun|en|er}} # [[tea]] ====Inflection==== {{da-noun-infl|en|er}} ===Verb=== {{da-verb|te|te|ter|teede|har|teet}} # [[behave]] ---- ==Dutch== ===Pronunciation=== * {{audio|Nl-te.ogg|audio}} * {{IPA|lang=nl|[tə]}} * {{X-SAMPA|lang=nl|[t@]}} ===Adverb=== '''te''' # ''indicating excess:'' [[too]] #: ''Te veel is nooit goed'' — too much is never good #: ''te gek!'' — far out! ===Preposition=== '''te''' # (''modifying an infinitive verb'') [[to]] #: ''Er is iets '''te''' eten'' — there is something to eat # {{archaic|lang=nl}} located [[at]], [[in]] #: '''''Te''' Amsterdam'': in Amsterdam. ===Article=== '''te''' # {{archaic|lang=nl}} in idiom; a form of the definite article [[de]] #: ''Te drommel'' — by Jove. ====Usage notes==== 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#Dutch|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 bate'' — for one's own profit. (''Elfder'', ''ure'' and ''bate'' are dative forms of [[elfde]], [[uur]] and [[baat]] resp.)

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]]''. {{fi-decl-pron|1s=[[sinä]]|2s=[[sinun]]|3s=[[sinua]]|4s=[[sinut]]|5s=[[sinussa]]|6s=[[sinusta]]|7s=[[sinuun]]|8s=[[sinulla]]|9s=[[sinulta]]|10s=[[sinulle]]|11s=[[sinuna]]|12s=[[sinuksi]]|14s=[[sinutta]]|1p='''te'''|2p=[[teidän]]|3p=[[teitä]]|4p=[[teidät]]|5p=[[teissä]]|6p=[[teistä]]|7p=[[teihin]]|8p=[[teillä]]|9p=[[teiltä]]|10p=[[teille]]|11p=[[teinä]]|12p=[[teiksi]]|14p=[[teittä]]|adv=no}} ====Usage notes==== * 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 (cf. the usage of ''[[sinä]]'', "you" (sg.)). * When addressing politely or formally one person in a written form, it is recommendable to capitalize the pronoun, ''Te'', for politeness purposes. * When addressing one person, the active past participle must be ''singular'' in negative past indicative, in present perfect of all moods both affirmative and negative and past perfect indicative — because there is ''one'' person addressed: :* '''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#Finnish|ole]] ''[[ollut]]'' [[täällä]] [[silloin]].

(''negative present perfect potential'') :** ''You'' haven't probably ''been'' here at that time. :* '''Te''' [[olitte]] ''[[ollut]]'' [[täällä]] [[silloin]].
