  1. Aletter of the North Frisianalphabet, written in theLatin script.
Usage notes
[edit]
  • The reduced vowel is mostly represented by ⟨e⟩. The alternative use of ⟨i⟩ is restricted to the insular dialects:
    • In Föhr-Amrum Frisian, it only occurs when the suffix-n is added to a word whose basic form ends in-e. For example,fraagin is infinitive II offraage(to ask), distinguished fromfraagen, the plural offraag(question).
    • In Sylt Frisian, any word-final[ə] is spelt ⟨i⟩. It remains before inflectional-n or-s, but changes to ⟨e⟩ before other suffixes. For example,fraagifraagin, but fraagest. Moreover, ⟨i⟩ occurs in the prefixbi- and word-internally in adapted borrowings (ginau from German,Janiwaari from Latin).

Usage notes
[edit]
  • As for other Romance languages, such as Neapolitan or Portuguese, Sicilian definite articles have undergone a consonant lenition that has led to the phonetic fall of the initiall. The use of this illiquid variant has not yet made the use of liquid variants disappear, but today it is still the prevalent use in speech and writing.
  • In the case of the production of literary texts, such as singing or poetry, or of formal and institutional texts, resorting to "liquid articles" and "liquid articulated prepositions" confers greater euphony to the text, although it may sound a form of courtly recovery.
  • Illiquid definite articles can be phonetically absorbed by the following noun. I.e:l'arancini (liquid) andârancini (illiquid).

            Usage notes
            [edit]

            Use ofi as a conjunction in Slovene is obsolete and not well-known, so most nowadays speakers usually relate it with other Slavic languages rather than with old Slovene. Nowadays, its derivative,in is used, which is etymologically speaking a stressed variant, but has since lost the initial difference.

            As opposed toin,i can be pronounced as stressed or unstressed form in all contexts (but if taken out of context, only the stressed version is allowed) whereasin is stressed only if taken out of context.

                Usage notes
                [edit]
                • I is often used to indicate direction "to" a place or "(in order) to" do an action in contrast toat, which indicates direction "to" a person.
                  • Rwy'n myndi'r feddygfa.I'm goingto the surgery.
                  • Rwy'n myndi weld y meddyg.I'm goingto see the surgery.
                  • Rwy'n myndat y meddyg.I'm goingto the doctor.
                Seeo for a similar distinction for "from".
                • The literary language distinguishes between unemphatic personal forms and personal forms with emphasis on the pronoun.
                  • Rhaidinni fynd.We must go. (no particular emphasis)
                  • Rhaidi ni fynd.We must go. (emphasis onwe)
                In less formal language, this distinction is not made in writing.
                • Rhaidi ni fynd.We must go. (no particular emphasis)
                • Used as apreterite tense form of ‘that’. The subject moves to the front of the subordinate clause, directly followingi, and the verb changes back to its verbal noun form.
