Descendants

Maltese

Etymology

From Arabic ???? (??, “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 ?????? (h?d?n) alongside ????? (h?d?)). Some earlier scholars instead suspected a connection with Aramaic ???? (d?n?, “this, that”), but this was based on the widely obsolete theory of a Punic substratum in Maltese.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /da?n/

Determiner

dan (feminine din, plural dawn)

1. this

Usage notes

• May contract with the following article: dan ir-ra?el ? dar-ra?el (“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-?img?a (“this week”), das-snin (“these years”).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /dan/

Etymology 1

Soft mutation of tan (“under”). From Proto-Brythonic *tan, from Proto-Celtic *tanai, dative of *tan?, from Proto-Indo-European *tn?néh?.

Preposition

dan (triggers soft mutation on a following noun)

1. under
2. (literary) Soft mutation of tan (“under”).

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.
