Article
en m sg (elided n', feminine na)
- (Eastern Catalan) Personal article used before masculine given names instead of the definite article el.
- En Pau i na Maria arribaran demà.
- Pau and Maria will be arriving tomorrow.
Usage notes
- While this article (and its feminine counterpart na) is standard in Balearic Catalan, in other Eastern Catalan dialects its use is waning, and the elided of the definite article, l', is used before names beginning with vowels. There is no plural personal article, so the plural definite article els is used in all dialects.

Pronoun
en (proclitic, contracted n', enclitic ne, contracted enclitic 'n)
- Represents an indeterminate number or quantity of a given noun.
- Represents a place (associated with the action described by the verb) that would be introduced by the preposition de.
- Replaces a phrase introduced by the preposition de.
- Replaces the object of a causative verb.
Usage notes
- en cannot be used more than once as the object of a given verb.
- While en is usually used to replace phrases beginning with the preposition de, adverbial phrases (e.g., de pressa) are replaced with hi.
- en is sometimes used instead of ho to replace an adjective or indefinite noun as the predicate of a verb.
- en is sometimes used popularly to add emphasis to a sentence: in this sense, it has no translation in English.
- en is the reinforced (reforçada) form of the pronoun. It is used before verbs beginning with a consonant.

Adverb
en
- (now Belgium, colloquial, obsolete elsewhere) not (often with another negator, see usage notes)
- ...dat aldaer binnen Utrecht niet meer geacht ende respecteert en wordt, ... ― that in Utrecht is no longer valued and respected...
- (obsolete) only, merely, no other than, none other than (together with maar)
Usage notes
- In historical usage, en is always used directly before the finite verb. When used to negate it is commonly accompanied by another negator: gij en zult niet stelen (“thou shalt not steal”), en wat er niet en deugt (“and what is not of decent quality”), ik en zoude certein geen ander boelken kiezen (“I would certainly not choose another girlfriend”). Also when used as a stand-alone negator or when combined with maar, it still stands directly before the finite verb. Use of the particle does not trigger a change in the word order.
- In Belgian Dutch it is still sometimes used in certain regional lects and in the tussentaal (“informal registers influenced by both Standard Belgian Dutch and the regional lects”). Details and frequency of use depend on what regional language variety influences a given speaker's idiom, as well as on the speaker's preferences.
- In West Flemish usage broadly conforms to historical use: the negation particle may be used along with other negators, independentely or it may be omitted. It is also used as a stand-alone negator to contradict a previous statement that was phrased with positive polarity: Gij zegt dat 't Vlaams te niet zal gaan: / 't en zal! (“You say that Flemish will go extinct: / no, it won't!”)
- In Belgian Brabantian it is frequently omitted, but it may also be used directly before another negator rather than before the finite verb: en niet.
- In contemporary Netherlands Dutch the use of the particle is limited to old proverbs, such as wat baten kaars en bril als de uil niet zien en wil.

Usage notes

If the name for the very large location is a consonant-initial masculine singular noun, au is used, while if the name of the very large location is plural, aux is used.

Usage notes
En has in recent years been used as a more gender-conscious alternative to the impersonal pronoun man. The development is in some ways parallel to the gender-neutral pronoun hen. Usage is common among certain speaker groups, but not universally acknowledged in the standard language. Previously it has also been used in some dialects.
