Preposition

 * Of, -ful (used instead of de with quantities, to emphasize the quantity rather than the thing quantified, or to indicate the unity of a shape and its material, a container and its contents, or a group and its members)

Usage notes
Unlike most prepositions, da cannot occur after a verb. It necessarily links two nouns (or exceptionally an elliptical adverb and a noun, as in sufiĉe da akvo below).

The article la does not occur after the preposition da, and this is often mistakenly understood to mean that the quantity introduced by da must be indefinite. However, there is no such restriction, any more than there is with possessive pronouns such as mia 'my', which also do not allow the article. Because of the unity of the two nouns linked by da, only the phrase can be modified by the article, so it must precede the first noun. See the fourth and fifth examples above.

Some Esperanto dictionaries substitute *listo de and *tuto de for listo da and tuto da. This is an error, an influence of Western languages which do not have an equivalent to da.

Compare these:


 * (a boxful of chocolate)
 * (the box itself, made for chocolates, but now perhaps used to store paper clips)


 * which indicates the kind of spring rather than the quantity of tears (an eyeful). Even dry eyes could be said to be fonto de larmoj 'a source of tears'; fonto da larmoj indicates that they are tear-filled eyes.

The three forms were already sometimes intermingled in Old and Middle High German. The eventual loss of the distinction in modern German was reinforced by phonetic mergers in various dialects. Today, the senses of adverbs 1 and 3 are covered by, while adverb 2 has been chiefly replaced with ,. The form remains as a variant of  before vowels and in some compound verbs (like, ). Adverb 1 and 2 are cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. Adverb 3 is cognate with 🇨🇬.

- [...], com que cada día nos da noticia de outras tão nouas que parece que a excedem,

Etymology 1
From a language (e.g. Bulgarian, Serbo-Croatian, Russian; or rather a loan from a Common Slavic before the emergence of distinct modern languages), from.

Another less likely (and controversial) theory argues that it perhaps derived originally from the Latin, one of several ways to say "thus", "so" or "yes"; it further may have been influenced by the da, also meaning "yes", in the surrounding Slavic languages before reaching its present state (see Sprachbund). See also dacă, which according to this theory derives from. In some regions, is used repeatedly to indicate impatience with someone talking too much or aimlessly, although this is more likely onomatopoetic in origin. Nonetheless, Romanian etymological dictionaries derive from a Slavic language, which is almost certainly the primary source.
