==Catalan==

===Etymology 1===
From the final syllable of {{der|ca|la|domine||Mister}}.

====Pronunciation====
* {{ca-IPA}}

====Article====
{{head|ca|articles|elided|n'|g=m-s|feminine|na}}

# {{lb|ca|Eastern Catalan}} {{n-g|Personal article used before masculine given names instead of the definite article {{m|ca|el}}.}}
#: {{ux|ca|'''En''' Pau i na Maria arribaran demà.|Pau and Maria will be arriving tomorrow.}}

=====Usage notes=====
* While this article (and its feminine counterpart {{m|ca|na}}) is standard in Balearic Catalan, in other Eastern Catalan dialects its use is waning, and the elided of the definite article, {{m|ca|l'}}, is used before names beginning with vowels. There is no plural personal article, so the plural definite article {{m|ca|els}} is used in all dialects.

=====Derived terms=====
* {{l|ca|can}} {{qualifier|contraction of ''ca'' and ''ne''}}

===Etymology 2===
From {{inh|ca|la|in||in, inside}}, from {{inh|ca|itc-pro|*en}}, from {{inh|ca|ine-pro|*h₁én||in}}.

====Preposition====

# {{n-g|Replaces the object of a [[causative]] verb.}}

=====Usage notes=====
* ''en'' cannot be used more than once as the object of a given verb.
* While ''en'' is usually used to replace phrases beginning with the preposition {{m|ca|de}}, adverbial phrases (e.g., de {{m|ca|pressa}}) are replaced with {{m|ca|hi}}.
* ''en'' is sometimes used instead of {{m|ca|ho}} to replace an adjective or indefinite noun as the predicate of a verb.
* ''en'' is sometimes used popularly to add emphasis to a sentence: in this sense, it has no translation in English.

=====Usage notes=====
* In historical usage, ''en'' is always used directly before the finite verb. When used to negate it is commonly accompanied by another negator: ''gij '''en''' zult niet stelen'' (“thou shalt not steal”), ''en wat er niet '''en''' deugt'' (“and what is not of decent quality”), ''ik '''en''' zoude certein geen ander boelken kiezen'' (“I would certainly not choose another girlfriend”). Also when used as a stand-alone negator or when combined with {{m|nl|maar}}, it still stands directly before the finite verb. Use of the particle does not trigger a change in the word order.
* In Belgian Dutch it is still sometimes used in certain regional lects and in the {{m|nl|tussentaal||informal registers influenced by both Standard Belgian Dutch and the regional lects}}. Details and frequency of use depend on what regional language variety influences a given speaker's idiom, as well as on the speaker's preferences.
** In West Flemish usage broadly conforms to historical use: the negation particle may be used along with other negators, independentely or it may be omitted. It is also used as a stand-alone negator to contradict a previous statement that was phrased with positive polarity: ''Gij zegt dat 't Vlaams te niet zal gaan: / 't '''en''' zal!'' (“You say that Flemish will go extinct: / '''no''', it '''won't'''!”)
** In Belgian Brabantian it is frequently omitted, but it may also be used directly before another negator rather than before the finite verb: '''''en''' niet''.
* In contemporary Netherlands Dutch the use of the particle is limited to old proverbs, such as {{m|nl|wat baten kaars en bril als de uil niet zien en wil|wat baten kaars en bril als de uil niet zien '''en''' wil}}.

=====Usage notes=====
Besides being the subject form in some dialects and vernaculars, ''en'' is sometimes deliberately used as an alternative subject form of the indefinite pronoun {{m|sv|man}}, which is a [[homonym#English|homonym]]ous [[derivative#English|derivative]] of the noun ''man'' ("[[man#English|man]]"). This development is in some ways parallel to the gender-neutral pronoun {{m|sv|hen}}.
