Etymology 1[edit]

Article[edit]

en m sg (elided n', feminine na)

  1. (Eastern Catalan) Personal article used before masculine given names instead of the definite article el.
Derived terms[edit]
  • can (contraction of ca and ne)
Usage notes[edit]
  • While this article (and its feminine counterpart na) is standard in Baleric 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 els is used in all dialects.

Etymology 2[edit]

From Latin in (“in, inside”).

Preposition[edit]

en

  1. in

Etymology 3[edit]

From Latin inde (“thence”).

Pronoun[edit]

en (proclitic, contracted n', enclitic ne, contracted enclitic 'n)

  1. represents an indeterminate number or quantity of a given noun
  2. represents a place (associated with the action described by the verb) that would be introduced by the preposition de
  3. replaces a phrase introduced by the preposition de
  4. replaces the object of a causative verb
Usage notes[edit]
  • En cannot be used more than once as the object of a given verb.
  • While en is usually used to replace phrases beginning with the prepostion de, adverbial phrases (e.g., de pressa) are replaced with hi.
  • En is sometimes used instead of ho to replace an adjective or indefinite noun as the predicate of a verb.
  • En is sometimes used popularly to add emphasis to a sentence: in this sense, it has no translation in English.
  • When en is used as a preposition to introduce the object of a verb, this object is replaced not by en but by hi:
    No crec en Déu → No hi crec.

Finnish[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA: [en]
  • Hyphenation: en

Verb[edit]

en

  1. The first-person singular form of the negation verb. The English translations include do not/don’t and not (with auxiliary verbs and be).

Conjugation[edit]

  • The negative verb has no infinitive form. The negative verb is the same with indicative, conditional and potential mood and, with those moods, it is conjugated only in person. (For the negative verb in the imperative mood, see älä/älköön/älkäämme/älkää/älkööt — the first person singular, naturally, does not have an imperative form. An archaic optative mood has a second-person singular form, ällös.)
singular plural
first person en emme
second person et ette
third person ei eivät

Usage notes[edit]

  • The negative verb is used with the connegative form of the main verb. That form is identical to the second-person singular imperative in the indicative present. The potential mood connegative ends in the marker for the mood, -ne-, and the conditional mood connegative ends in the marker for the mood, -isi-. In the indicative past, conditional past and potential past, the active past participle singular (ending -ut/-yt) is used. The connegative form of the main verb is always used without the personal suffix.
  • Usage of en:
  • Indicative:
  • Minä näen. (I see.) -> Minä en näe. (I do not see.)
  • Minä näin. (I saw.) -> Minä en nähnyt. (I did not see.)
  • Minä olen nähnyt. (I have seen.) -> Minä en ole nähnyt. (I have not seen.)
  • Minä olin nähnyt. (I had seen.) -> Minä en ollut nähnyt. (I had not seen.)
  • Conditional:
  • Minä näkisin. (I would see.) -> Minä en näkisi. (I would not see.)
  • Minä olisin nähnyt. (I would have seen.) -> Minä en olisi nähnyt. (I would not have seen.)
  • Potential:
  • Minä nähnen. (I probably see.) -> Minä en nähne. (I probably do not see.)
  • Minä lienen nähnyt. (I have probably seen.) -> Minä en liene nähnyt. (I have probably not seen.)

  • In the sentence
    Hún er skemmtilegri en ég.
    She is more fun than I am.
the word en (“than”) may be omitted, and the subject (which is ég (“I”) in this example) may be used in the dative case.
Hún er skemmtilegri mér.
Now the sentence has the same meaning, only much more formal. In order to make the sentence more casual- one can reposition the subject (in the dative).
Hún er mér skemmtilegri.
