North Frisian

Etymology

From Old Frisian jit, from Proto-West Germanic *jit (“you two”). For the peculiar development in Sylt Frisian, see the etymology of at.

Pronoun

jat

1. (Sylt, dated) they both, the two of them (third-person dual personal pronoun)
2. (Föhr-Amrum, Mooring, obsolete) you two, the two of you

Usage notes

• The third-person dual in Sylt Frisian exists only as a subject form. In object and possessive functions ordinary plural forms must be used. All dual forms are now optional and dated on Sylt, and entirely unused elsewhere.

Alternative forms

• (you two): at (Sylt)

notes		The reduced forms with an apostrophe are enclitic; they immediately follow verbs or conjunctions. Dü is deleted altogether in such contexts. Et is not enclitic and can stand in any unstressed position; the full subject form hat is now rarely used. In reflexive use, only full object forms occur. The dual forms are dated, but not obsolete as in other dialects. Independent possessives are distinguished from attributive ones only with plural referents.
