Instituut voor de Nederlandse Taal
Meertens Institute

Possibly a clipping of patapedo (“canvas shoe”), of unclear origin; since the term is first attested in the 1930s, with the specific meaning 'canvas shoe', proposed derivations via Sranan Tongo from Portuguese sapato (“(leather) shoe”), Portuguese pata (“paw, foot”), or Yoruba bàta (“(leather) shoe”) seem unlikely. Cognate of Sranan Tongo pata (“canvas shoe”).

Velen die allang voetbalschoenen of pata pedo's, zoaals de jeugd de tennisschoenen noemt, onder den kapstok hadden gedeponeerd, voelden opnieuw den drang bij hen opkomen, om weer achter het leder te gaan lopen.

1923 August 3, “Snapshots.”, in Suriname, Paramaribo, page 2:

Many who deposited [their] football shoes or pata pedos, as the young people call tennis shoes, under the coat rack long ago, felt the urge to run after the leather [ball] again.

Wie zou er toe komen anders dan voor sportdoeleinden, een tweetal jaren terug met een pata, tennisschoen, uit te gaan. Zelfs het volk, dat het nimmer breed heeft gehad, dacht er niet aan deze schoenen te dragen. Thans, ziet men dat nood breekt wetten.

1933 December 5, “Een groep van onzer samenleving die ten onder gaat. [A group of our society that is going down.]”, in Suriname, Paramaribo, page 1:

Some two years back, who would have considered going out wearing plimsolls, tennis shoes, other than for athletic purposes? Not even the populace, which never had much to spend, thought of wearing these shoes. Now, one sees that necessity knows no law.

Pata's en rubberschoentjes in verschillende kleuren vanaf f 0,55 per paar.

1937 March 19, “Baťa Schoenenmagazijn. [Baťa Shoe store.]”, in De West (advertisement), Paramaribo, page 3:

Canvas shoes and little rubber shoes in various colours from ƒ0.55 per pair.

Het gevolg was dat Arnold werd gedagvaard om in de beklaagdenbank van het Derde Kanton te verschijnen. Deurwaarder Tedjai noemde zijn naam en gestoken in blauw ornaat (uniform der gedetineerden) opgesierd met een witte lint en een afstekende witte patta verscheen hij in de beklaagdenbank.

1974 October 10, “Arnold kreeg 8 mnd erbij na kappartij te Santo Boma [Arnold's sentencing augmented with 8 months after machete fight in Santo Boma prison]”, in Vrije Stem: onafhankelijk weekblad voor Suriname, page 4:

As a result, Arnold was summoned to appear in the dock of the Third Judicial District. Bailiff Tedjai called his name and decked out in blue attire (uniform of inmates), adorned with a white ribbon and contrasting white trainers, he appeared in the dock.

Een onderwijzeres uit district Nickerie legt uit hoe de verhoudingen in Suriname tegenwoordig zijn. Sommige ouders zijn stuitend rijk. 'Wij werken met leerlingen die niet praten over een patta (sportschoen) van vijfduizend gulden Surinaams, maar over een patta [van] vijftigduizend gulden.' Dat is omgerekend 230 Nederlandse guldens, evenveel als haar maandsalaris.

1997 April 28, “Wijdenbosch komt zelf luisteren naar wat er onder Surinamers leeft [Wijdenbosch himself comes to listen to what is on the minds of Surinamese people]”, in de Volkskrant, Amsterdam:

A teacher from Nickerie district explains how conditions are in Suriname today. Some parents are staggeringly rich. 'We work with pupils who don't talk about trainers worth five thousand Surinamese guilders, but trainers worth fifty thousand guilders.' Which works out to 230 Dutch guilders, equal to her monthly salary.

‘Guno, draag je pata snel, dan kom je. Kijk hier. Breng voor me naar AZ. Dit moet naar het lab gaan (...).’

2003, Marylin Simons, Carrousel, Paramaribo: Okopipi, →ISBN, page 29:

'Guno, quickly put on your sneakers, then come here. Look here. Take this to the university hospital for me. It has to go to the laboratory (...).'
