I was reminded of (etymologiscal and semantic) links between next to and next (and ‘neighbour’ perhaps).

I refer to English and parallels in Dutch, especially Flemish:
next to me he sat (Dutch: naast mij)
— next of kin (Dutch : naaste verwanten)
— (in Biblical terms) my neighbour (Dutch: mijn naaste)
next month (Dutch: volgende (following) maand — Flemish: naaste …)

How about in your language? Or are there other figurative meanings?

    In Greek:

    — next to me he sat (Dutch: naast mij)

    A/ He sat «δίπλα».
    Adv. «δίπλα» (‘ðipla)—> next, next to, nigh. Byzantine adv. «διπλᾶ» (ðip’la), deriving from the Classical adj. «διπλοῦς, -ῆ, -οῦν» (dīp’lous m./dīp’lē f./dīp’loun n.)—> twice, double. PIE base *duwo-, two + productive suffix «-πλοῦς» (-‘plous)—> a fold; PIE base *pel-, to fold. Initially the adv. described the fact that with the nearest or immediately following person we form a pair.
    B/ He sat «πλησίον».
    Adv. «πλησίον» (pli’sion)—> near, nigh, neighbour. Ancient adv. «πλησίον» (plē’sīŏn), deriving form the adj. «πλήσιος, -α, -ον» (‘plēsīŏs m./plē’sīă f./’plēsīŏn n.)—> near, close to. PIE base *plā-, to set in motion, move.

    — next of kin (Dutch : naaste verwanten)

    «Πλησιέστερος[1] συγγενής[2]» (plisi’esteros siɲɟe’nis)
    [1]Comparative of adj «πλήσιος, -α, -ον» (see above). The nearer.
    [2]Masculine noun «συγγενής» (siɲɟe’nis)—> congenital, inborn, of the same kin. Ancient noun «συγγενὴς» (sŭggĕ’nēs) meaning the same. Compound, preposition and prefix «συν» (sūn)—> with, together with + neuter noun «γένος» (gĕnŏs, ‘jenos in the modern pronunciation)—> race, stock, kin; PIE *gen-, to produce.

    — (in Biblical terms) my neighbour (Dutch: mijn naaste)

    «Πλησίον» (pli’sion), as in Leviticus 19:18—> «thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself» (KJV), «ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν» (LXX)

    next month (Dutch: volgende (following) maand — Flemish: naaste …)

    «Επόμενος» (e’pomenos). Masculine participle of the ancient verb (it has survived in Modern Greek only in compounds) «ἕπομαι» (‘hĕpŏmæ)—> to come near, approach, come upon. PIE base *sekw-, to follow (cf. Lat. secundus, Fr. suivre, Sp. seguir)

    In Hebrew:

    — next to = ליד leyad. Next to me = לידי leyadi
    — next of kin = קרוב משפחה = karov mishpakha (close — ms.sg. + familiy)
    — in the bible — ואהבתך לרעך כמוך — ve-ahavta le-re’akha kamokha (love thy neighbor as thyself) — re’a means ‘friend, any person other than yourself’.
    (Neighbor is שכן shakhen)
    — next month = החודש הבא — ha-khodesh ha-ba = the coming month.

    Each context has a completely different word.

    Thanks, everyone. Next month appears to be translated as coming, following, but iit is only in my dialect that I have ‘next’. I wonder if that form is not the older one…

    I am also surprised at the two forms for ‘next to (me)’ in Greek, but I guess that is not so uncommon. Are both always interchangeable?

    Hebrew: that seems a little strange to me, but so it is, I guess. Thanks again !

    Swedish:

    next to me he sat — han satt bredvid mig (beside me), but you could use han satt nära mig (close to me)
    next of kinnärmaste anhörig/släkting
    — (in Biblical terms) my neighbour — in the Bible: älska din nästa såsom dig själv (love your next one as yourself), the word for neighbour today is granne, but an old word for neighbour is nabo, from närboende (nabo is still used for neighbour in Danish and Norwegian)
    next month — nästa månad (följande månad (following month) not so common, nästföljande/nästkommande månad (next-following, next-coming month) also exsists)

    när, nära, nästa, närmaste — there is a common thread

    • #7

    När reminds me of the English near. But would you be able to explain the —maste in närmaste? Is it a superlative (most) perhaps? It is interesting to note that ‘next month’ is not often described as ‘the following’.

    Yes they are although the second one «πλησίον» (pli’sion) is regarded as bookish. But they are both used.

    Let’s hope, after the adversité, hope is πλησίον for the Greek…

    Nära, närmare, närmast — close/near, closer/nearer, closest/nearest. Yes, -maste is is a superlative, but not a common one, it’s usually bred, bredare, bredast — wide, wider, widest.

    Russian:
    next to me he sat — около /okolo/ (lit. near / nearby) the root is related to колeco /koleso/ “wheel, circle” (compare with “circa”)

    next of kin —

    ближайший родственник /blizhayshiy rodstvennik/ (lit. closest relative). The root -ближ/близ- means “close / proximate”

    (in Biblical terms) my neighbour —

    ближний /blizhniy/ (lit. the close one). Same root as above

    next month — следующий /sleduiushiy/(lit. following)

    • #12

    Great. I do wonder again if there could not be an older form for next month, containing the same word ‘kol-‘. I might check with some Slovenes or other Slavic students I meet, but not because I doubt your information! Simply to see whether that association next=following could be very old.

    rusita preciosa


    • #13

    I can’t think of any expression that would use около or any кол- word with anything that has to do with time. It is used with physical space mostly.

    I just thought of another option for «next to me he sat»: рядом /riadom/ (lit. in a row), but the meaning is just «near/next», not necessarily «arranged in a row».

    • #14

    In Czech we have:

    — next to me he sat: seděl vedle mne; vedle is a preposition, contracted from v + dél (= in + length), similar to the English preposition along (= podle in Czech); so we have vedle = next to and podle = along;

    — next of kin: blízký příbuzný (it is a legal term) = close relative; there is also blíženec (Blíženci = Gemini, the constellation);

    — (in Biblical terms) my neighbour: bližní, derived from blízký;

    — next month: příští měsíc; příští is derived from the verb přijíti = to come, however it does not mean coming (příští is not present participle of přijíti); cf. German kommend from kommen (kommenden Montag = next Monday);

    Btw, Panslavic blizkij is probably related to Greek plesios.

    But I gather there is no other time indication containing this root… (Thanks)

    As for Bibax: the parallels seem quite scarce, apart from blízký/bližní.

    I was reminded of (etymologiscal and semantic) links between next to and next (and ‘neighbour’ perhaps).

    I refer to English and parallels in Dutch, especially Flemish:
    next to me he sat (Dutch: naast mij)
    — next of kin (Dutch : naaste verwanten)
    — (in Biblical terms) my neighbour (Dutch: mijn naaste)
    next month (Dutch: volgende (following) maand — Flemish: naaste …)

    How about in your language? Or are there other figurative meanings?

    In Tagalog: 1.) next to me he sat( Sa tabi ko siya nakaupo/kasunod ko siya sa upuan) 2.)Next of kin (sunod sa lipi’) 3.) my neighbour (aking kapitbahay) 4.) Next month ( sa sunod na Buwan)

    The word «next», in talking about physical location, is the same as adjacent. Physically close, and if there is a set of objects, there is no object between them.

    In using the word «next» in reference to something that comes after the current thing, there needs to be a direct ordering. For example, in a queue

    Bob is after Joe in the queue. Joe is currently being served, and Bob is next.

    You could use «next to» in an example like this, but I have never heard it used to imply ordering, and would only assume in this next example that Bob and Joe were adjacent, and would need more information to know who is first. in fact, were someone to say something like this to me, I would initially assume that Bob and Joe were sharing the same place in the queue- one is not in front of the other.

    Bob and Joe are in the queue. Bob is next to Joe.

    In your riddle example

    The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

    I would definitely assume that the Norwegian’s house and the blue house are adjacent, but would make no assumption of ordering just based on these two statements.


    Going into further detail to explain the second definition of «next to» that you mentioned.

    Merriam-Webster only has two definitions for «next to»:

    1: immediately following or adjacent to
    2: in comparison to— «next to you I’m wealthy»

    If I were to use the first usage in an ordered sense, it would be something like

    Starting from the left of the photo, we have Bob. Standing next to him is Joe.

    But again, «next to» doesn’t give the ordering- the implied ordering (Joe is obviously on the right of Bob) comes from the other things I have said («starting from the left»), not from the term «next to».

    The second definition is idomatic. «next to you I’m wealthy» implies something like «were we to stand next to each other and compare our wealth, I would appear wealthy.»

    An idiomatic usage that is very similar to M-W’s second use is noted in the Dictionary.com entry:

    9 c aside from: Next to cake, ice cream is my favorite dessert.

    Again, this implies an imaginary ranking of favorite desserts. Cake would be at the top, followed by ice cream.
