Catalan

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

From Old Catalan pas, 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. Compare similarly used French pas.

Adverb

pas

  1. (in negative sentences) Used to intensify negation: at all, ever
    No feu pas això ― Do not ever do this
    No serà pas important. ― It won't matter. (literally, “It won't be so important.”)
Usage notes

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 Occitan or French, where pas and pas is a mandatory negative particle (under many circumstances); in Catalan, pas is only used as an optional intensifier of negation. However, some northern dialects use "pas" instead of "no" as the mandatory negative particle. Also, in many dialects "pas" has totally disappeared.

Etymology 2

Back-formation from passar.

French

Etymology

From Old French pas, from Latin passus.

Its use as an auxiliary negative 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. In older French other nouns could also be used in this way, such as ne… goutte (“not… a drop”) and ne… mie (“not… a crumb”), but in the modern language pas has become grammaticalised.

Pronunciation

Noun

pas m (plural pas)

  1. step, pace, footstep

Adverb

pas

  1. The most common adverb of negation in French, typically translating into English as not, don't, doesn't, etc.
    Je ne sais pas.
    I don't know
    Ma grande sœur n’habite pas avec nous.
    My big sister doesn't live with us.
    J’veux pas travailler.
    I don't wanna work.
    (Je ne veux pas travailler)

Usage notes

  • The adverb of negation pas is normally used in conjunction with the particle ne, as in the examples Je ne sais pas and Ma grande sœur n’habite pas avec nous above. In colloquial language, ne can be dropped, as in the example J'veux pas travailler above.
  • Word order:[1]
    • Pas directly follows the inflected verb, which itself follows the particle ne;
      Il ne mange pas. ― He's not eating.
      Ne le touchez pas. ― Don't touch him.
    • in compound verb structures it is placed between the inflected auxiliary and the participle.
      Il n’a pas mangé. ― He didn't eat.
    • When negating an infinitive verb, pas normally follows ne and precedes that verb in the construction ne pas + infinitive (though the sequence ne + infinitive + pas was common in the Classical French of the 17th and 18th centuries).
      Il a reçu une leçon à ne pas oublier. ― He received a lesson not to be forgotten.
    • pas can be placed before an adverb that modifies all or part of a verbal syntagma, but it directly follows an adverb that modifies the whole sentence.
      Je n’ai pas vraiment compris. ― I didn't truly understand.
      Il n’est probablement pas arrivé. ― He probably hasn't arrived.
    • Certain adverbs (e.g. même) can be used before or after pas without affecting the meaning of the phrase. With other adverbs (e.g. toujours), there may be considerable difference in meaning depending on whether pas comes before or after.
      pas toujours ― not always
      toujours pas ― still not
