Lithuanian
Etymology
From an older nesà or nėsà, which Ford interprets as ne- + *so; the latter element being from Proto-Indo-European *so (“conjunctve particle”);[1] compare Hittite 𒋗 (šu-, “preterite conjunctive particle”), Old Irish se (“conjunctive particle”), ultimately deriving most likely from the Proto-Indo-European demonstrative *só, *séh₂, *tód. See tas for more. The further parallel drawn by Ford with Hittite 𒈾𒀸𒋗 (naššu, “or”) is neither supported nor ruled out by Kloekhorst.[2]
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): [ˈnʲɛs]
- Rhymes: -ɛs
- Syllabification: nès
Conjunction
nès
- (subordinating) because, since (expresses the reason for an action)
- Àš studijúoju, nès nóriu mókytis. - I study because I want to learn.
