Esperanto

Etymology

Demonstratives of European languages in t, such as English (this, that, there, thus, then), French (tel, tant), Polish (ten), Russian (те, то, так, там, такой, тогда). Note also German (dies, den).

Prefix

ti-

1. this-, that-. (Demonstrative correlative prefix.)

Usage notes

By itself, the ti- words do not specify distance, as is the case with French ce. However, the absence of the particle ĉi, which indicates proximity, may suggest greater distance than ĉi would be used for. That is, tiu ĉi (this one) is equivalent to French celui-ci, while tiu (that one) is equivalent to both celui and celui-là. Occasionally the particle for is used (tiu for) for celui-là.

Derived terms

• tiu that one (plural tiuj those ones), that/those (with a noun)
• tio that (without a noun) (plural tioj those)
• tia such (a)
• ties that one's, those ones'
• tiel thus, that way
• tie that place, there
• tiam then
• tiom that much
• tial for that reason, therefore
