un m (feminine una, masculine plural uns, feminine plural unes)
- an; the indefinite article
- (in the plural) some
Usage notes[edit]
- Unlike English, Catalan uses the indefinite article with plural nouns as well as singular nouns.
- Catalan cardinal numbers may be used as masculine or feminine adjectives, except un/una (“1”), dos/dues (“2”), cents/centes (“100s”) and its compounds. When used as nouns, Catalan cardinal numbers are treated as masculine singular nouns in most contexts, but in expressions involving time such as la una i trenta (1:30) or les dues (two o'clock), they are feminine because the feminine noun hora has been elided.

Latvian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Middle Low German un (“and”). It replaced, in this sense, the particle ir (compare Lithuanian ir, which still has the sense of “and”). At first there were competing borrowings from other Germanic dialects (e.g. und, unde), and some forms were influenced by ir (resulting in ind, in), but from the 18th century on, the form un gradually became dominant.[1]
Pronunciation[edit]
Conjunction[edit]
un
- additive conjunction used to link similar terms in a clause; and
- Didzis un Ilga apstājās ― Didzis and Ilga stopped
- tas ir skaists un dārgs ― this is beautiful and expensive
- tēvs strādā un domā ― father is working and thinking
- used to link clauses within a sentence; and
- Lupatu Zeta smējās tik sirsnīgi, ka asaras sakāpa acīs un pat Lupats pieliecās klausīties ― Lupatu Zeta laughed so heartily that tears filled her eyes and even Lupats leaned forward to listen
- pie tēva vīri atnāk uz runāšanu... Annelei patīk skatīties, kādi tie vīri un kā viņi runā ― (some) men came to father to talk... Annele liked to look what those men looked like and how they spoke
- used to link two independent clauses, indicating simultaneity, sequence, contrast, opposition, or comparison between them; and
- uzlec saule, un sākas jauna diena ― the sun rises, and a new day begins
- Annele papurināja smiedamās galvu, un visi lakati bija atkal nost ― Annele shook her head, laughing, and all scarves were (= fell) off once more
- Ansis bija noliesējis gluži dzeltenīgs, nomocījis, un tomēr viņa acīs bija arī līksmība ― Ansis had lost weight, grown rather yellow, (he looked) run down, and yet in his eyes there was also joy
- pavasarī viņam palika pieci gadi, un tas jau bija diezgan cienījams vecums ― in spring he became five years (old), and that was already quite a respectable age
- used to introduce an independent clause, linking it to the preceding context
- mātei varēja stāstīt visu... vai tiešām visu? un Ģirts atskārta, ka pēdējā laikā noticis daudz kas tāds, par ko viņš tomēr nestāstīs mātei... ― mother might tell everything... really everything? and Ģirts realized that recently many things had happened that he wouldn't tell mother...
- atceries, cik Latvijā šis vārds skanēja noslēpumaini un vilinoši: Kalifornija! un tagad ļoti labvēlīgs liktenis tevi iespēlējis tieši teiksmainajā Kalifornijā ― remember how in Latvia this word sounds mysterious and tempting: California! and now a very favorable fate has brought you to legendary California

Usage notes[edit]
- When followed by a word beginning with a vowel, the article undergoes apheresis, becoming 'n, and the place of articulation of the nasal changes from velar to dental:
- un + òmmo → 'n òmmo (“a man”) (pronounced [ˈnɔmmu], NOT [ˈŋɔmmu])
- When followed by a word beginning with a consonant:
- the article becomes in (pron. /iŋ/), if:
- it is found in sentence-initial position, or after a punctuation mark
- it is preceded by a word ending in /ŋ/
- in matìn in figeu o corîva – a boy was running one morning (pron. [iŋ maˈtiŋ iŋ fiˈd͡ʒø u kuˈriːva])
- the article undergoes apheresis, becoming 'n, without the nasal changing place of articulation:
