Latin

Alternative forms

• utī
• utei (old form)

Etymology

Some supposed ut < uti < utī < utei < *utai < *uta + i, with this *uta corresponding to ita (and utinam < *utanam). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷis, *kʷos and *só. See ubi for the loss of c.

Jussive and optative sentences were often followed by some adverbial ut(i), originally meaning "in some way" (sometimes interchangeable with instrumental qui (“by some means”)). Ut becoming habitual, lost its full meaning and was weakened to the conjunction ut, which now fell to govern the subjunctive mood. This was the epitome of the evolution of subordinate clauses in Latin.

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ut/, [ʊt̪]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ut/, [ut̪]

Adverb

ut (not comparable)

1. (interrogative) how? in what way?

   Synonym: quī

4. (relative, rare) where

Conjunction

ut (followed by the subjunctive)

1. how, that, so that, to, in order to, in order that; introduces the subject or object clause of a verb, purpose or effect; note that quō replaces ut when there is a comparative in the subordinate clause of purpose.
2. although

ut (followed by the indicative)

1. like, as, just as

   Synonyms: velut, sīcut, tamquam, quasi
2. as soon as, when, whenever
3. that, for that, because

Usage notes

Often coupled with ita, such that ita x, ut y means "so/thus x, as y".
