Etimologija (Anglų k.)

Paveldėta iš Vidurio Anglijos: alredy

Sutampa su vakarų fryzų: alreeds

Sutampa su olandų: alreeds

Sutampa su afrikanų: alreeds

Sutampa su Middle Low German: alreide

Sutampa su danų: allerede

Sutampa su švedų: allaredan

Sutampa su naujoji norvegų: allereie

In summary

From Middle English alredy (“fully; already”), equivalent to al- (“all, completely”) + ready. Cognate with West Frisian alreeds (“already”), Dutch alreeds (“already”), Afrikaans alreeds (“already”), Middle Low German alreide, alreids ("already"; whence modern German Low German alreeds (“already”)), Danish allerede (“already”), Swedish allaredan (“already”), Norwegian Nynorsk allereie (“already”). More at all, ready.
The use as an intensifier in American English is a semantic loan from German schon and Yiddish שוין (shoyn).
In Singapore English, the use of already as a marker of action completion and change of state (i.e., perfective and inchoative aspects respectively) is analogous to Hokkien 了 (liáu), Teochew 了 (liao²) and Mandarin 了 (le). Compare Malay sudah and Cantonese 喇 (laa³).
