hi (Albanian)

Etymology

Tosk form of Gheg - lang=aln (pl. hin), from - skina|lang=sq, from - lang=sq, from - ḱenHis|lang=sq (compare Latin - lang=la ‘dust; cinder’, Ancient Greek - tr=kónis|lang=grc ‘ashes; dust’).

Noun

hi m (-ri)

ashes

----

hi (Basque)

Pronoun

Pronoun

----

hi (Catalan)

Etymology

From - ca ibi, there. Despite the many similarities between the modern Catalan hi and the modern French y#French|y, it is a matter of debate at what stage the distinction between the two forms occurred. In both the w:langue_d'oc|langue_d'oc and in Proto-Iberian dialects of w:vulgar_Latin|vulgar_Latin (the two most probable sources of the pronoun in medieval Catalan), ibi became contracted first to vi and then to hi: the transformation in the w:langue_d'oïl|langue_d'oïl, and thence to Middle French, is less clear.

Pronoun

represents a place associated with the action described by the verb, unless the place would be introduced by the preposition de#Catalan|de

there (in constructions such as "there_is", "there_are", etc.: see haver-hi)

replaces an adverb (or adverbial phrase) describing the manner, instrument or association of an action

replaces a phrase introduced by any preposition except de#Catalan|de (most commonly a#Catalan|a or en#Catalan|en)

replaces an indefinite noun or an adjective which is the predicate of a verb other than ésser, esdevenir, estar#Catalan|estar or semblar#Catalan|semblar

(Central Catalan) in combination with other object pronouns, the third person singular indirect object pronoun ("to him", "to her", "to it")

Usage notes

When more than one object pronoun is associated with a given verb, hi is alway the last in the group.

Hi and ho#Catalan|ho cannot be used together with the same verb, nor can two his be used together.

It is sometimes stated that hi is never used to replace a compliment beginning with de#Catalan|de. This is not completely accurate, as hi can replace adverbial phrases such as de_pressa, de_sobte, etc.
