as f. pl. (feminine singular a, masculine singular o, masculine plural os)
- (definite) the
[edit] Usage notes
The definite article o (in all its forms) regularly forms contractions when it follows the prepositions a (“‘to’”), con (“‘with’”), de (“‘of, from’”), and en (“‘in’”). For example, con as ("with the") contracts to coas, and en as ("in the") contracts to nas.
[edit] Derived terms
[edit] Pronoun
as f pl accusative (nominative elas, oblique elas, dative lles)
- them (feminine plural third-person personal pronoun)
[edit] Usage notes
The third-person direct object pronouns o, os, a, and as, have variant forms prefixed with l- or n-. These alternative forms appear depending on the ending of the preceding word. The l- forms (e.g. las) are used when the preceding word ends in -r or -s. The n- forms (e.g. nas) are used when the preceding word ends in a -u or a diphthong. These alternative forms are then suffixed to the preceding word.
In all other situations, the standard forms of the pronouns are used (o, os, a, as) and are not suffixed to the preceding word.
These direct object pronouns also form contractions when they immediately follow an indirect object pronoun. For example, Dou che as ("I gave you them.") contracts to Dou chas.
