Cebuano

[edit]

Alternative forms

[edit]
  • kari
  • rishort form, only used mid-sentence

Etymology

[edit]

From Western Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *-di.[1] The initial "k(a/i)-" is a common feature among demonstratives: kini (this), kana (that), and kadto (that). Related to diri (here), adia (here be), ngari (hither), and ari (to come), in a similar pattern with other Cebuano demonstrative pronouns. Compare Tagalog iri.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /kiˈɾi/ [kɪˈɾ̪i]
  • Hyphenation: ki‧ri

Adverb

[edit]

kirí

  1. this (closer to the speaker than the listener)

Usage notes

[edit]
  • kari is the form most commonly used by speakers, while kiri may come off as old-fashioned and literary.
  • In colloquial usage, the nuances of kiri (this near me) and kini (this near us) have become blurred, such that both are used interchangeably.
