Danish

Etymology

From Old Norse til, from Proto-Germanic *tilą (“goal”), cognate with Swedish till (“to”), English till, German Ziel n (“goal”). The preposition has arisen from an adverbial use of the noun, lit. "(with) the goal of something". In Old Norse, the preposition governs the genitive, a usage which is preserved in certain fixed phrases in Danish.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /te(l)/, [tˢel], [tˢe]

Preposition

til

1. to, towards (the direction or goal of a physical movement)
2. towards (the way a thing is turned)
3. to, until (the upper limit)

4. for (the purpose or the beneficiary)

5. into, interested in (especially sexually)

6. at (at a certain point in time, with certain nouns)

7. by (not later than)

8. (together) with (e.g., accompanying food)

9. on, by (the means of transportation)
10. (in personal names) of (a nobiliary particle denoting residence)

Usage notes

• The preposition governed the genitive in Old Norse and Old Danish. This usage is preserved in several fixed phrases (always with the noun in the indefinite singular):

Derived terms

• In many phrases, the noun ends in -e, which is either 1) an old genitive plural (Old Norse -a), 2) an old genitive singular in a different declension (Old Norse -ar), or 3) an old dative singular (Old Norse -i), analogically after other case relict phrases:
