( modifying an infinitive verb ) to Er is ietste eten ―there is something to eat Het iste doen ―it is doable, it can be done locatedat ,in ,on Te Amsterdam ―in Amsterdam. En zo rijden wete paard ―and so we ride on horseback. This preposition used to govern the dative case. It also fused with the dative forms of the definite article:
( at, in ) : ter = te +der for feminine singular.( at, in ) : ten = te +den in all other cases.Combinations with the nominative form of the article, like *te het or *te de have never become part of the language. The collapse of the inflection system and the related demise of the distinction between masculine and feminine gender (for most speakers) has pushed this preposition into partial disuse. It does however occur in a fair number of idiomatic expressions, often with fossilized case endings, e.g.:
te elfder ure. ―at the eleventh hour te eigen bate ―for one's own profit (Elfder ,ure andbate are dative forms ofelfde ,uur andbaat respectively.)

( personal ) you ( second-person plural; when addressing many persons or when addressing politely or formally one person ) Depending on the context, the pronoun can sometimes be omitted in written language if the text remains fluent – the pronoun is in spoken language practically always used (compare the usage ofsinä ( “ yousg ” ) ). When addressing one person politely or formally, it is recommended to capitalize the pronoun in writing:Te . When addressing only one person (even politely), the active past participle must be in thesingular in the compound forms that use it (e.g. negative, perfect, pluperfect forms):Te etteollut täällä silloin.( negative past indicative ) ―You were not here at that time.Te oletteollut täällä silloin.( affirmative present perfect indicative ) ―You havebeen here at that time.Te ette oleollut täällä silloin.( negative present perfect indicative ) ―You have notbeen here at that time.Te olisitteollut täällä silloin.( affirmative present perfect conditional ) ―You would havebeen here at that time.Te ette olisiollut täällä silloin.( negative present perfect conditional ) ―You would have notbeen here at that time.Te lienetteollut täällä silloin.( affirmative present perfect potential ) ―You have probablybeen here at that time.Te ette lieneollut täällä silloin.( negative present perfect potential ) ―You haven't probablybeen here at that time.Te olitteollut täällä silloin.( affirmative past perfect indicative ) ―You hadbeen here at that time.Te ette ollutollut täällä silloin.( negative past perfect indicative; note the duplicateollut ) ―You had notbeen here at that time. Irregular (inflectional stemtei- , as if in the plural). Thecomitative andinstructive forms don't exist; theabessive is hardly used.

1 The disjunctive (tonic) forms are also used after an explicit preposition (de/d’ ,à ,pour ,chez ,dans ,vers ,sur ,sous , ...), instead the accusative, dative, genitive, locative, or reflexive forms, where a preposition is implied.2 Il is also used as an impersonal nominative-only pronoun.3 On can also function as a first person plural (although agreeing with third person singular verb forms).4 The nominal indeterminate formce (demonstrative) can also be used with the auxiliary verbêtre as a plural, instead of the proximal or distal gendered forms.5 The reflexive third person singular forms (se ors’ ) for accusative or dative are also used as third person plural reflexive.6 Vous is also used as the polite singular form, in which case the plural disjunctive tonicvous-mêmes becomes singularvous-même .7 Ils ,eux andeux-mêmes are also used when a group has a mixture of masculine and feminine members.

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. 2 Also used as indefinite pronoun meaning “one”, and to form the passive. 3 Often replaced bygli ,-gli in informal language. 4 Formal (capitalisation optional); in many regions, can refer to just one person (compare with Frenchvous ).

Thisetymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at theEtymology scriptorium . Particularly: “Doesn't really resemble any other "frost" word in the area. There is a similarity toHungarian dér ( “ frost ” ) , which is generally cited by Magyarologists as being of unknown origin. It is worth noting that, in addition to frost being uncommon or even nonexistent in the regions where Hmong-Mien is spoken, the Hmongic term does not seem to exist in Mienic, and that Hmongic populations are distinguished from Mienics by a noticeable presence of a paternal lineage strongly associated with ancient northeastern Chinese and Uralic populations, the latter which Hungarian belongs to. Perhaps these two terms are linked, though the hypothetical timescale of the relationship makes this virtually impossible to verify.”
