### Alternative forms

* patta

### Etymology

Possibly a clipping of patapedo (“canvas shoe”), of unclear origin; since the term is first attested in the 1930s, with the specific meaning 'canvas shoe', proposed derivations via Sranan Tongo from Portuguese sapato (“(leather) shoe”), Portuguese pata (“paw, foot”), or Yoruba bàta (“(leather) shoe”) seem unlikely. Cognate of Sranan Tongo pata (“canvas shoe”).

** 1933 December 5, “Een groep van onzer samenleving die ten onder gaat. [A group of our society that is going down.]”, in Suriname‎, Paramaribo, page 1:Wie zou er toe komen anders dan voor sportdoeleinden, een tweetal jaren terug met een pata, tennisschoen, uit te gaan. Zelfs het volk, dat het nimmer breed heeft gehad, dacht er niet aan deze schoenen te dragen. Thans, ziet men dat nood breekt wetten.Some two years back, who would have considered going out wearing plimsolls, tennis shoes, other than for athletic purposes? Not even the populace, which never had much to spend, thought of wearing these shoes. Now, one sees that necessity knows no law.

Deurwaarder Tedjai noemde zijn naam en gestoken in blauw ornaat (uniform der gedetineerden) opgesierd met een witte lint en een afstekende witte patta verscheen hij in de beklaagdenbank.As a result, Arnold was summoned to appear in the dock of the Third Judicial District. Bailiff Tedjai called his name and decked out in blue attire (uniform of inmates), adorned with a white ribbon and contrasting white trainers, he appeared in the dock.

Sommige ouders zijn stuitend rijk. 'Wij werken met leerlingen die niet praten over een patta (sportschoen) van vijfduizend gulden Surinaams, maar over een patta [van] vijftigduizend gulden.' Dat is omgerekend 230 Nederlandse guldens, evenveel als haar maandsalaris.A teacher from Nickerie district explains how conditions are in Suriname today. Some parents are staggeringly rich. 'We work with pupils who don't talk about trainers worth five thousand Surinamese guilders, but trainers worth fifty thousand guilders.' Which works out to 230 Dutch guilders, equal to her monthly salary.

### Etymology

First attested in Dutch-language newspapers in Suriname in the 1930s. Possibly a clipping of patapeido, of unclear origin; since the term is first attested in the 20th century with the specific meaning 'canvas shoe', proposed derivations from Portuguese sapato (“(leather) shoe”), Portuguese pata (“paw, foot”), or Yoruba bàta (“(leather) shoe”) seem unlikely. Cognate of Dutch pata (“canvas shoe”).

### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈpata/, [ˈpa̠ta̠], [ˈpɑ̟tɑ̟]

### Noun

pata
* canvas shoe, plimsoll, trainer
