Etymology
Pronunciation
Pronoun
من (min)
North Levantine Arabic
Etymology 1
From Arabic مِن (min, “from, of, than”).
Preposition
من • (min, mn, mni)
Usage notes
- The underlying form is min, but the pronunciation is determined by the phonotactical environment. The medial -i- will usually be deleted following vowels (including epenthetic linking vowels as in the example above).
- Suffixes are attached to the stem minn-, for example منك (minnak, “from you”). The third-person singular feminine merges with the first-person plural as منا (minna, “from her; from us”). However, the feminine may also be realized as منها (minha), and the plural occasionally as منِنا (minina, specifically /mɪnina/), to avoid confusion. (The latter change is rarer, but can be seen somewhat-more-commonly in analogous dialectical derivations of the stem إن (inn-, “that”).)
Etymology 2
From Arabic مُنْذُ (munḏu, “since, for”).
Preposition
من • (min)

- I saw you a few days ago.
- since
- من إيام المدرسة مش حاكيين
- min ʼiyyām il-madrase mish ḥākyīn
- We haven't spoken since [our] school days.

Etymology 2
From Arabic مَا إنَّ (mā ʔinna).
