[edit]Preposition
[edit]da
- Of, -ful (used instead of de with quantities, to emphasize the quantity rather than the thing quantified, or to indicate the unity of a shape and its material, a container and its contents, or a group and its members)[1][2]
- glaso da vino ― a glass of wine, a glassful of wine
- kilogramo da viando ― a kilogram of meat
- grupo da homoj ― a group of people
- kvar metroj da ĉi tiu ŝtofo kostas naŭ frankojn

- tuto da kondiĉoj kaj cirkonstancoj, en kiuj iu troviĝas
- all of the conditions and circumstances in which we find ourselves
- sistemo da sonoj por la esprimado de pensoj
- a system of sounds for the expression of thought
Usage notes
[edit]Unlike most prepositions, da cannot occur after a verb. It necessarily links two nouns (or exceptionally an elliptical adverb and a noun, as in sufiĉe da akvo below).
The article la does not occur after the preposition da, and this is often mistakenly understood to mean that the quantity introduced by da must be indefinite. However, there is no such restriction, any more than there is with possessive pronouns such as mia 'my', which also do not allow the article. Because of the unity of the two nouns linked by da, only the phrase can be modified by the article, so it must precede the first noun. See the fourth and fifth examples above.
Some Esperanto dictionaries substitute *listo de and *tuto de for listo da and tuto da. This is an error, an influence of Western languages which do not have an equivalent to da.
Compare these:
- listo da kandidatoj ― a list of candidates (list of names)
- listo da kondiĉoj de la kandidatoj ― a list of conditions from the candidates
- skatolo da ĉokolado ― a box of chocolates (a boxful of chocolate)
- skatolo de ĉokolado ― a chocolates box (the box itself, made for chocolates, but now perhaps used to store paper clips)
- skatolo el ĉokolado ― a box made of chocolate
- ho, se mia kapo havus sufiĉe da akvo kaj miaj okuloj estus fonto da larmoj! ― oh, if my head had enough water, and my eyes were a spring of tears!
- fonto de akvo ― a spring of water which indicates the kind of spring rather than the quantity of tears (an eyeful). Even dry eyes could be said to be fonto de larmoj 'a source of tears'; fonto da larmoj indicates that they are tear-filled eyes.

German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From a merger of three interrelated adverbs: 1.) Middle High German dā, dār (“there, at that place”), from Old High German thār, dār, from Proto-West Germanic *þār. 2.) Middle High German dar, dare (“thither, to that place”), from Old High German thara, dara, from an extended form of the former. 3.) Middle High German dō, duo (“then, at that time”), from Old High German thō, dō, duo, from Proto-Germanic *þō.
The three forms were already sometimes intermingled in Old and Middle High German. The eventual loss of the distinction in modern German was reinforced by phonetic mergers in various dialects. Today, the senses of adverbs 1 and 3 are covered by da, while adverb 2 has been chiefly replaced with hin, dahin. The form dar- remains as a variant of da- before vowels and in some compound verbs (like darlegen, darbringen). Adverb 1 and 2 are cognate with Dutch daar, English there, Swedish där. Adverb 3 is cognate with Dutch toen.
Pronunciation

[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From a Slavic language (e.g. Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian, Russian; or rather a loan from a Common Slavic before the emergence of distinct modern languages), from Proto-Slavic *da.
Another less likely (and controversial) theory argues that it perhaps derived originally from the Latin ita, one of several ways to say "thus", "so" or "yes"; it further may have been influenced by the da, also meaning "yes", in the surrounding Slavic languages before reaching its present state (see Sprachbund).[1] See also dacă, which according to this theory derives from ita quod. In some regions, ta is used repeatedly to indicate impatience with someone talking too much or aimlessly, although this is more likely onomatopoetic in origin. Nonetheless, Romanian etymological dictionaries derive da from a Slavic language, which is almost certainly the primary source.[2]
Interjection
[edit]da
Antonyms
[edit]Etymology 2
[edit]From Latin dare, present active infinitive of dō, ultimately from Proto-Italic *didō, from Proto-Indo-European *dédeh₃ti, from the root *deh₃- (“give”). Compare Aromanian dau, dari, Italian dare, Spanish dar.
Pronunciation
[edit]Audio: (file)
Verb
[edit]a da (third-person singular present dă, past participle dat) 1st conj.
- to give
- (music, with placeholder o) to jam
- 2019, Paraziții (lyrics and music), “Căpitane, raportez!”, in Arma secretă[7]:
- O dau așa, ah!
- I jam like this, ah!
- (reflexive, with placeholder o, see usage notes) to have sex, to do, to take
Usage notes
[edit]In the sense of “have sex”, three constructions are possible:
- i-o dă cuiva, with a simple dative indirect object and unmistakably active in meaning;
- și-o dă cu cineva, in a dative reflexive construction and a prepositional object of person;
- și-o dă, with a dative reflexive plural pronoun reciprocal in sense.

Serbo-Croatian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Slavic *da, probably old imperative of the word dȁti, itself from Proto-Indo-European *deh₃- (“to give”).
Conjunction
[edit]da (Cyrillic spelling да)
- that
- Rekao je da će doći. ― He said that he would come.

- On hoće da mu pokažete put do stanice.
- He wants you to show him the way to the station.
- (Serbia) to (when the subjects of both clauses are the same; for western Serbo-Croatian use infinitive instead of da + present tense)
- (subjunctive only, often followed by i) if, even if (= kad)

Etymology
[edit]From Ottoman Turkish ده (da, de, “conj. also, and, moreover, again”),[1] from Proto-Turkic *tākı (“conj. and”),[2][3] whence daha and dahi. Cognate with Azerbaijani da (“also, as well, too”), Kazakh and Kyrgyz да (da, “also, as well, too”),
Pronunciation
[edit]Conjunction
[edit]da
- as well, too, also
- O da sorunun yanıtını biliyor. ― He also knows the answer to the question.
- Oğuzhan da bizimle geliyor. ― Oğuzhan is coming with us as well.
- Yağız da dondurma yemeyi sever. ― Yağız likes eating ice cream, too.
Usage notes
[edit]- Generally forms one speech unit with the preceding word. Accordingly it complies with vowel harmony; taking the form da after back vowels a, ı, o, u, and de after front vowels e, i, ö, ü.
- In writing it should not be joined to the preceding word. Such use is occasionally seen, but is considered incorrect by the Turkish Language Association. The disjoined spelling rules out confusion with the locative suffix -da.
