Etymology

From Old Frisian *jit, from Proto-West Germanic *jit (“you two”). For the peculiar development in Sylt Frisian, see the etymology of at.

Pronoun

jat

1. (Sylt, dated) they both, the two of them (third-person dual personal pronoun)
2. (Föhr-Amrum, Mooring, obsolete) you two, the two of you

Usage notes

• The third-person dual in Sylt Frisian exists only as a subject form. In object and possessive functions ordinary plural forms must be used. All dual forms are now optional and dated on Sylt, and entirely unused elsewhere.

Alternative forms

• (you two): at (Sylt)

• The reduced forms with an apostrophe are enclitic; they immediately follow verbs or conjunctions. Dü is deleted altogether in such contexts.
• Et is not enclitic and can stand in any unstressed position; the full subject form hat is now rarely used. In reflexive use, only full object forms occur.
• The dual forms are dated, but not obsolete as in other dialects.
• Independent possessives are distinguished from attributive ones only with plural referents.
