Catalan [edit]

Etymology [edit]

From Latin passus ("step"). Its use as an auxiliary adverb comes from an accusative use (Latin nec...passum) in negative constructions – literally ‘not...a step’, i.e. ‘not at all’ – originally used with certain verbs of motion.

Pronunciation [edit]

Noun [edit]

pas m (plural passos)

  1. step, pace
  2. (figuratively) action
  3. pace, gait, rhythm of walking

Adverb [edit]

pas

  1. (in negative sentences) at all, ever. Used to intensify negation.

Do not do this
No feu pas això
Do not ever do this

Usage notes [edit]

The main marker of negation in Catalan is the adverb no. No is placed before the verbs, while pas is usually placed after it. Unlike French, where pas is a mandatory negative particle (under many circumstances); in Catalan, pas is only used as an optional intensifier of negation.
