Etymology 1

[edit]

Borrowed fromHawaiianlei.

Noun

[edit]

lei (pluralleis)

  1. Agarland of flowers inHawaii.
    • 2013 August 30, Kat Kinsman, “Something borrowed: Wedding traditions from around the world”, inCNN[1]:
      Both brides and grooms in native Hawaiian tradition wear flower garlands as a physical manifestation of their love for one another, and to some, the twining of the stems is reflective of two families now becoming one. A more tourist-friendly version established in the past couple of decades involves winding theleis around the couple’s hands to bind them together.

5Grammatically third person forms used semantically in the second person as a formal or polite way of addressing someone (with the first letter frequently capitalised as a sign of respect, and to distinguish them from third person subjects). Unlike the singular forms, the plural forms are mostly antiquated terms of formal address in the modern language, and second person plural pronouns are almost always used instead.
6Also used as indefinite pronoun meaning “one”, and to form the passive.
7Formal (capitalisation optional); in many regions, can refer to just one person (compare with Frenchvous).
8Traditional grammars still indicate the formsegli (animate),ello /ella (animate),esso /essa and their plurals as the nominative forms of the third person pronouns; outside of very formal or archaizing contexts, all such forms have been replaced by the obliqueslui,lei,loro.
9Forms used when followed by a third-person direct object proclitic (lo,la,li,le, orne).
10Used after verbs.
11Unstressed forms, stand alone forms are found proclitically (except dativeloro /Loro), others enclitically (-mi,-ti, etc.).
12Disjunctive, emphatic oblique forms used as direct objects placed after verbs, in exclamations, along prepositions (prepositional) and some adverbs (come,quanto, etc.); also used witha to create alternative emphatic dative forms.
