1. female saint, saintess

Carnian

Alternative forms

• samta
• sobota (Lower, NW Upper)

Etymology

Inherited from Early Modern Carnian samta, from Old Carnian sambta, sambota, from Proto-Slavic *sǫbota. Compare German Samstag and French samedi.

Pronunciation

• (Standard) IPA: [sântɐ]
• (Carinthian) IPA: [sã̂tɐ]

Noun

santa f

1. Saturday

   Ve santà ideme ke Pirano. ― On Saturday we're going to Piran.

Usage notes

Some dialects use sobota instead. In the northwestern Upper dialects this form continues non-nasal Proto-Slavic *sobota (as in the West Slavic), while in the Lower dialects it reflects contamination from Slovene sobota (from the previous Lower form såbota).
