Verb

Cebuano
[edit]Alternative forms
[edit]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]Adverb
[edit]kirí
- 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.
