Maltese

Etymology

From Arabic ذَا (ḏā, “this, that”). The paragogic -n probably spread from the plural, where it originated by analogy with hawn (“here”) and/or with the plural ending -in (compare Algerian Arabic هادون (hādūn) alongside هادو (hādū)). Some earlier scholars instead suspected a connection with Aramaic דנה (dənā, “this, that”), but this was based on the widely obsolete theory of a Punic substratum in Maltese.

Pronunciation

Determiner

dan (feminine din, plural dawn)

  1. this

Usage notes

  • May contract with the following article: dan ir-raġel → dar-raġel (“this man”). The full form is commoner, however, except in expressions like dax-xahar (“this month”).
  • The feminine singular contracts to di-, the plural to da- like the masculine: dil-ġimgħa (“this week”), das-snin (“these years”).

Usage notes

Usage notes

In literary Welsh, tan can mean both "under" and "until". In Welsh usage today, however, dan (originally the soft mutation of tan) has become a preposition in its own right with the meaning "under" whereas tan means "until", retaining the meaning "under" in certain expressions, compound words and place names. Modern dan or tan are not usually mutated. o dan is an alternative to dan.
