Pronoun

IPA: [a̠na̠ta̠] Forms: anata [romanization]
Etymology: Compound of あ (a, distal pronoun marker, indicating something far away from both speaker and listener; also found in あれ (are, “that”, far away), あそこ (asoko, “there”, far away), etc.) + な (na, possessive, ancient compounding alternative for particle の (no)) + た (ta, “direction, side, place”, only found in ancient terms). Originally meant that direction, that side, that place (far away), in contrast to そなた (sonata, “that direction, that side, that place (closer to the listener)”), こなた (konata, “this direction, this side, this place (close to both listener and speaker)”), and どなた (donata, “which or what direction, side, or place”). Appears with this sense at least as early as the Kokin Wakashū of the late 900s, and the Kagerō Nikki of 974 CE. The indirect and polite sense of that person is also evident in texts from the late 900s, including the Ochikubo Monogatari. The sense of you as a polite and indirect form of reference appears in texts from around the 1750s. Unrelated to Arabic أنت.

  "etymology_text": "Compound of あ (a, distal pronoun marker, indicating something far away from both speaker and listener; also found in あれ (are, “that”, far away), あそこ (asoko, “there”, far away), etc.) + な (na, possessive, ancient compounding alternative for particle の (no)) + た (ta, “direction, side, place”, only found in ancient terms).\nOriginally meant that direction, that side, that place (far away), in contrast to そなた (sonata, “that direction, that side, that place (closer to the listener)”), こなた (konata, “this direction, this side, this place (close to both listener and speaker)”), and どなた (donata, “which or what direction, side, or place”). Appears with this sense at least as early as the Kokin Wakashū of the late 900s, and the Kagerō Nikki of 974 CE.\nThe indirect and polite sense of that person is also evident in texts from the late 900s, including the Ochikubo Monogatari.\nThe sense of you as a polite and indirect form of reference appears in texts from around the 1750s. Unrelated to Arabic أنت.",
