Etymology 1

simp. and trad.
 哪
alt. forms 那

Written as 那 before the 20th century.

It is generally considered to be the fusion of 奈何 (OC *naːls ɡaːl, “how”) (Wang, 1990; Sun, 1992; Shimura, 1995), usually citing Gu Yanwu's (顧炎武) commentary on Zuozhuan. Lü (1985) distinguishes between “which” (choosing among several choices), which he derives from 若 (OC *njaɡ), and “how” (asking for something), which he considers to be a fusion of 若何 (OC *njaɡ ɡaːl, “how”).

Pronunciation

Note:
  • nǎr - “where; wherever; everywhere”;
  • něi, nǎi - contraction of 哪一 (determiner).
Note:
  • nai4 - determiner;
