Catalan

Pronunciation

• (Balearic, Central, Valencian) IPA^(key): /?pas/

Etymology 1

From Old Occitan 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.

Noun

pas m (plural passos)

1. step, pace

Adverb

pas

1. (in negative sentences) Used to intensify negation: at all, ever

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 French, where pas is a mandatory negative particle (under many circumstances); in Catalan, pas is only used as an optional intensifier of negation.

Etymology 2

Back-formation from passar.
