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-Category:Esperanto lemmas#TI-Category:Esperanto prefixes#TI-Category:Esperanto entries with incorrect language header#TI-Category:Pages with entries#TI-Category:Pages with 15 entries#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

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