=====Usage notes=====

===Pronunciation===

# [[he]], [[she]], [[it]]

==Galician==

===Pronunciation===
* {{gl-pr}}
* {{audio|gl|Gl-o.ogg}}

===Etymology 1===
From {{inh|gl|roa-opt|o}}, from {{inh|gl|la|illum}}, from {{m|la|ille}}.

====Alternative forms====
* {{alt|gl|lo}}

====Article====
{{head|gl|articles|g=m-s|feminine singular|a|masculine plural|os|feminine plural|as}}

# {{n-g|masculine singular definite article}}; [[the]]

=====Usage notes=====
* The definite article {{m|gl||o}} (in all its forms), due to historical [[sandhi]], regularly forms contractions when it follows the prepositions {{m|gl|a||to}}, {{m|gl|con||with}}, {{m|gl|de||of, from}}, and {{m|gl|en||in}}. For example, {{m|gl||con o|with the}} contracts to {{m|gl|co}}, and {{m|gl||en o|in the}} contracts to {{m|gl|no}}.
* The definite article {{m|gl||o}} (in all its forms), due to historical [[sandhi]], contracts with preceding words which ends in [s] or [r] into the second form of the article {{m|gl|lo}} ({{m|gl|la}}, {{m|gl|los}}, {{m|gl|las}}); this feature, frequent in spoken Galician, is not always marked in the written language. When done, a [[hyphen]] is used to separate both words:
: {{ux|inline=1|gl|Debes comer o caldo ~ Debes come-lo caldo|You should eat the soup}}

=====Derived terms=====
{{der-top}}
* {{l|gl|ao}}
* {{l|gl|co}}
* {{l|gl|do}}
* {{l|gl|no}}
* {{l|gl|ó}}
{{der-bottom}}

===Etymology 2===
{{nonlemma}}

====Pronoun====
{{head|gl|pronoun forms}}

# {{inflection of|gl|el||acc}}

=====Usage notes=====
The Galician pronouns, being atones, are usually appended to the verb; though [[sandhi]], {{m|gl|o}} could acquire the form -''no'' (for example, when appended to a verb form ended in a {{w|falling diphthong}} or in a nasal consonant, the nasal in -''no'' having an antihiatic epenthetic origin) or -''lo'' (when appended to a verb form ended in a -s or -r, the ''l'' having its origin in the assimilation of the -s or -r with the ''l'' present in the pronoun before the 12th century).

Gordon, ''The Letter Names of the Latin Alphabet'' ([[w:University of California Press|University of California Press]], 1973; volume 9 of ''University of California Publications: Classical Studies''), part III: “Summary of the Ancient Evidence”, page 32: "Clearly there is no question or doubt about the names of the vowels A, E, I, O, U. They are simply long A, long E, etc. (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū). Nor is there any uncertainty with respect to the six mutes B, C, D, G, P, T. Their names are bē, cē, dē, gē, pē, tē (each with a long E).

==Latvian==
{{wikipedia|lang=lv}}

===Etymology===
Proposed in 1908 as part of the new Latvian spelling by the scientific commission headed by [[w:Kārlis Mīlenbahs|K. Mīlenbahs]], which was accepted and began to be taught in schools in 1909. Prior to that, Latvian had been written in German [[Fraktur]], and sporadically in [[Cyrillic]].

===Pronunciation 1===
* {{IPA|lv|[uə̯]|[o]|[oː]}}
{{rfap|lv}}

====Letter====
[[File:Latin alphabet Oo.svg|thumb|upright=1.13|O]]
{{lv-letter|upper=O|lower=o}}

# {{Latn-def|lv|letter|23|o}}

=====Usage notes=====
In native Latvian words (and in some older borrowings), ''o'' represents the sound of IPA [uə̯] (e.g., {{m|lv|otrs}} [uə̯tɾs]). In more recent borrowings, it represents the original sound of the word, i.e. [o] or [oː] (e.g., {{m|lv|opera}} [oːpeɾa]).

* {{sense|article, pronoun}} {{IPA|pt|/u/}}
* {{audio|pt|LL-Q5146 (por)-Davi6596-o (article, pronoun).wav|a=Brazil}}

===Etymology 1===

====Letter====
{{pt-letter|upper=O|lower=o}}

# {{senseid|pt|letter}} {{Latn-def|pt|letter|15}}

=====See also=====
* {{list:Latin script letters/pt/simple}}

===Etymology 2===
{{etymid|pt|article-pronoun}}
From {{inh|pt|roa-opt|o}} (compare {{cog|gl|o}}), from {{inh|pt|VL.|lo}}, *''illu'', from {{inh|pt|la|illum}}, from {{m|la|ille}} (with an initial ''l'' having disappeared; compare {{cog|es|lo}}).

====Article====
{{pt-article}}

# {{senseid|pt|article}} [[the]] {{gloss|masculine singular definite article}}
#* {{RQ:mul:Rowling Harry Potter|pt-BR|6|page=135|text=Não vi '''o''' tempo passar.|t=I didn't notice the time passing.}}

=====Usage notes=====
For the most part, usage of the definite article in Portuguese is the same as in English. Some differences include:
* it is optionally but commonly used with abstract mass nouns:
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|'''O''' amor é melhor que '''a''' guerra.|Love is better than war.}}
* in Brazil, it can be optionally used with adjectival possessive pronouns, and mandatorily with substantival possessive pronouns; both are mandatory in Portugal:
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|('''O''') meu livro é melhor que '''o''' seu.|My book is better than yours.}}
* it can be used with personal names; often this indicates familiarity with the person (due to personal connection with them or because they are famous); this is avoided in formal contexts:
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|('''O''') João foi até a cidade.|João went to the city.}}
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|('''O''') Einstein foi um cientista famoso.|Einstein was a famous scientist.}}
* it is sometimes used instead of a possessive pronoun when the possessor is obvious from the context; this is especially prevalent when referring to parts of the body or one’s own relatives:
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|'''O''' pai está viajando.|(My) dad is travelling.}}
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Você falou com '''a''' tia?|Did you talk with my/our aunt?}}
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Quando você quebrou '''os''' braços?|When did you break your arms?}}
* it is used in a construct that is uncommon in English but common in Portuguese whereby a singular is used as a representative or prototype of all instances of the thing:
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|'''O''' carvalho é uma árvore grande.|'''The''' oak is a big tree.}}
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|'''A''' picape é responsável pela poluição.|Pick-up trucks are responsible for the pollution.}}
* it is much more commonly used with placenames; most names of countries, states, provinces and continents take the definite article, but only a minority of cities:
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Eu moro n'''o''' Luxemburgo.|I live in Luxembourg.}}
*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|'''O''' Rio de Janeiro fica n'''o''' Brasil.|Rio de Janeiro is in Brazil.}}

*: After {{m|pt|ver}}: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Posso vê-'''lo'''?|May I see him/it?}}
*: After {{m|pt|conhecer|conheces}}: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Conhece-'''lo'''?.|Do you know him/it?}}
*: After {{m|pt|fazer|fiz}}: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Fi-'''lo''' ficar contente.|I made him/it become happy.}}
*: After {{m|pt|nos}}: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Deu-no-'''lo''' relutantemente.|He gave him/it to us reluctantly.}}
*: After {{m|pt|eis}}: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Ei-'''lo'''!|Behold him/it!}}

*: {{ux|inline=1|pt|Detêm-'''no''' como prisioneiro.|They detain him/it as a prisoner.}}

===Etymology 5===

=====Usage notes=====
* The double indicative and the double imperative are Sicilian moods built with the first conjugated element using exclusively the present tense of the verbs ''jiri'' (to go) or ''vèniri'' (to come) connected with the preposition ''a'' (to) to a second conjugated action wich follows the tense, the number and the person of the first verbal element.

===Etymology===
Reduced form of {{m|srn|go||to go}}.

===Particle===
{{head|srn|particles}}

# {{n-g|Verbal marker for the future tense.}}

====Usage notes====
For purely factual statements, {{m|srn|sa}} is more common. This marker is mostly used for promises, or when the anticipation carries an emotive charge, such as hope or fear. For example, “I’ll see you” is not a purely factual statement; it implies, “I hope to see you (again, some time in the future)”. In Sranan Tongo, this is then expressed as “mi o si yu”.
