köken: /ina/ → /ija/ → /ije/ → /iːe/ First cited to the late 1600s. Shift from いや (iya), from even earlier 否 (ina). While いや (iya) was broadly used in the Muromachi period, in the Edo period, いや (iya) shifted to use mainly in informal or more intimate contexts, while いいえ (īe) was used in more formal or polite contexts. いや (iya) is still in use, including broader senses not included for いいえ (īe).
köken: Literally, “that was so little” (also, "no big deal"). Similar to Swedish and Norwegian det var så lite, Icelandic það var lítið and Faroese tað var so lítið.
