[edit] Article

te

(archaic) in idiom; a form of the definite article de

Te drommel — by Jove.

[edit] 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 = 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.)

[edit] 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.
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 ollut täällä silloin. (negative present perfect indicative)
- You have not been here at that time.
Te olisitte ollut täällä silloin. (affirmative present perfect conditional)
- You would have been here at that time.
Te ette olisi ollut täällä silloin. (negative present perfect conditional)
- You would have not been here at that time.
Te lienette ollut täällä silloin. (affirmative present perfect potential)
- You have probably been here at that time.
Te ette liene ollut täällä silloin. (negative present perfect potential)
- You haven't probably been here at that time.
Te olitte ollut täällä silloin. (affirmative past perfect indicative)
- You had been here at that time.
Te ette ollut ollut täällä silloin. (negative past perfect indicative; note ollut twice)
- You had not been here at that time.

Clearly there is no question or doubt about the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, U. They are simply long A, long E, etc. (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). Nor is there any uncertainty with respect to the six mutes B, C, D, G, P, T. Their names are bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē (each with a long E). Or about H, K, and Q: they are hā, kā, kū — each, again, with a long vowel sound.
