Irish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle Irish (i)sind, (i)sin, from Old Irish isin(d/t) (“in the m or f or n sg dative”), isin (“into the m or f sg accusative”), isa (“into the n sg accusative”), from Proto-Celtic *in sindū/sindai (“in the m sg/f sg dative”), *in sindom/sindam (“into the m sg/f sg accusative”).

Pronunciation[edit]

Contraction[edit]

sa

  1. Contraction of i + an.
    Tá an fear sa bhád. ― The man is in the boat
    Tá na páistí ag súgradh sa tsráid. ― The children are playing in the street.
    Táimid inár suí sa seomra (or) tseomra. ― We are sitting in the room.

Usage notes[edit]

This contraction is obligatory, i.e. *i an never appears uncontracted. Used before consonant sounds only; otherwise, san is used. Triggers:

  • lenition of b, c, f, g, m, p and changes initial s to ts in Ulster varieties,
  • lenition of b, c, g, m, p, changes initial s to ts, and triggers eclipsis of f in Munster varieties,
  • eclipsis and changes initial s to ts in feminine nouns while not affecting s in masculine nouns in Connacht varieties,
  • in An Caighdeán Oifigiúil causes lenition of b, c, f, g, m, p and changes initial s to ts in feminine nouns (An Córas Lárnach) or all nouns (Córas an tSéimhithe).

Often understood to be a contraction of ins an, but the forms san, sa were in common use by the 12th century and accepted in Classical Gaelic poetry while ins is a later innovation with the -n- reintroduced by analogy.

Derived terms[edit]

Maltese[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Probably from Arabic حَتَّى (ḥattā, “until; as far as; even”). The form, though without doubt unusual, might be explained from earlier *ħta by assimilation in fast speech. Compare Moroccan Arabic حتى (ḥta). Compare also Spanish hasta, which, if related, might point to the existence of an obsolete Maghrebi variant *ḥastā (-). Joseph Aquilina preferred to derive the Maltese form from a contraction of Italian sino a, variant of fino a (“until; as far as”). Both may also have reinforced each other.

Slovak[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Slavic *sę, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *sen, from Proto-Indo-European *swé.

Pronunciation[edit]

Pronoun[edit]

sa

  1. replaces the accusative of any personal pronoun whenever the object, whether expressed or implied, is of the same person as the subject. Typically can be translated as the corresponding version of oneself:
    vidím sa v zrkadle ― I see myself in the mirror
    Koho vidíš v zrkadle? Seba. ― Whom do you see in the mirror? Myself.
  2. (reflexive) bound with certain verbs, similar to the Italian si. The pronoun is a part of the verb
    modliť sa ― to pray

Usage notes[edit]

  • In regular sentences, it has to be on the 2nd position of the sentence.
    Modlím sa. ― I am praying.
  • In sentences in the past tense, sa moves to the third position while the inflected form of the verb byť takes the 2nd position.
    Modlil som sa. ― I was praying.
  • In hypothetical sentences, sa moves to the fourth position of the sentences with the inflected form of byť occupying the 3rd position and the pronoun by taking the 2nd position.
    Modlil by som sa, keby... ― I would pray, if ...
