- I bought you a new toy as a special treat.
Usage notes
In traditional standard English as (like than) is a conjunction, not a preposition. The use of pronominal case forms (subject vs. object) therefore depends on the syntactical context. Compare:
- She loves you just as much as I [do].
- She loves you just as much as [she loves] me.
In modern every day English, this difference may be lost and the use of bare subject forms (I, he, she, we, they) after as may seem pedantic. Only the object forms are used on their own.
- You are not as tall as I. (formal/dated short form)
- You are not as tall as me. (informal short form)

Alternative forms
Etymology
Probably borrowed from Etruscan: compare lībra and nummus, also loanwords. Original meaning was 'a rectangular bronze plaque weighing a pound'.
Pronunciation
- () МФА(кључ): /as/, [äs̠]
- () МФА(кључ): /as/, [äs]
- () МФА(кључ): /ˈas.s/, [ˈäs̠ː] (before a vowel)
- Note: the word is singularly and unreliably attested in poetry,[1] but together with its derivatives usually measures long. It's more likely that it retained the geminate consonant before a vowel than that the vowel itself was lengthened. Most recent dictionaries give it as short, but EDL and certain other etymologists[2] as long; compare far.
Noun
as
- as; a Roman coin originally made of bronze and weighing one pound, but later made of copper and reduced to two ounces, one ounce, and eventually half an ounce.
- pound as a unit of weight
- any undivided unit of measurement
- a circular flap or valve
- any circular object; a slice, disk Галицијски
Usage notes
It is especially significant as being the coin of least value in the Classical age; as such it was often used in poetry as representative of the idea of worthlessness—one example being in Vivamus atque amemus, where Catullus mentions "valuing opinions of old men at a single as". Two and a half asses equalled a single sesterce.

- The genitive plural is normally assium, but assum is found in Varro.

From Ottoman Turkish آس (as), from Proto-Turkic *argun, *āŕ.
Noun
as (definite accusative ası, plural aslar)
Etymology 2
Borrowed from Француски as. Note that in Ottoman Turkish until its end – though it be that playing cards had been introduced in Turkey by Europeans and French in particular – the card was called بك (bey). Apparently this usage switch is a function of the Law on the Abolishment of Nicknames and Titles from the 26th of November 1934 (Lâkap ve Unvanların Kaldırılması Hakkındaki Kanun).

„CHAPTER XI”
—which, Graham decided, was none too great for the great room. But no sooner was she seated than the three sages slipped away to what were evidently their chosen listening places. The young poet stretched himself prone on a deep bearskin forty feet from the piano, his hands buried in his hair. Terrence and Aaron lolled into a cushioned embrasure of a window seat, sufficiently near to each other to nudge the points of their respective contentions as Paula might expound them. The girls were huddled in colored groups on wide couches or garlanded
in twos and threes on and in the big koa-wood chairs.
