tive or Pronoun. The DEMONSTRATIVE Adjective and Pronoun "that" is rendered in Esperanto by the word _tiu_ (acc. _tiun_); plural _tiuj_ (acc. _tiujn_), those. The addition (either before or after) of the particle _cxi_ to the singular and plural respectively, gives _this_ and _these_. Ex.: _Tiu viro_, that man. _Tiu estas mia_, that (one) is mine. _Mi elektas tiun_, I choose that (one). _Mi preferas tiun cxi_ (or _cxi tiujn_), I prefer this (one). _Tiuj cxi_ (or _cxi tiuj_) _estas miaj_, these are mine. _Mi portos tiujn cxi_, I will carry these. Interrogative Pronouns. _Kiu?_--who, which? Plural, _kiuj?_ _Kio?_--what? _Kies?_--whose? _Al kiu?_--to whom? _Kiun?_--whom? (acc.), _kiujn?_ (acc. plu.). Ex.: _Kiu estas tiu?_--who is that? _Kiun vi deziras vidi?_--whom do you desire to see? _Kiuj foriris?_--which (ones) went away? _Kiujn vi vidis?_--which ones did you see? _Kiu_ is also used with ADJECTIVAL meaning. Thus: _Kiu libro estas via?_--which book is yours? _Kiun libron vi preferas?_--which book do you prefer? _Kiuj domoj apartenas al vi?_--which houses belong to you? _Kiujn stratojn vi konas?_--which streets do you know? _Kio estas tio?_--what is that? _Kion li volas?_--what does he want? The English _-ever_ is translated by _ajn_. For example: _Kiu ajn li estas, ne parolu al li_, whoever he be, do not speak to him. _Kies ajn_, whosesoever. _Kiu(j)n ajn_, whomever. Relative Pronouns. The Relative Pronouns are identical with the Interrogative: _Kiu(j)_, who, that, which, _kiu(j)n_, whom, that, which. Ex.: _La libro, kiun vi legas_, the book (which) you are reading. _Tiu, kiu parolis al vi_, the one who spoke to you. _La personoj, kiujn li konas_, the persons (whom) he knows. _Tio, kion li diras, ne estas vera_, what he says is not true. _La arbo, kies supron vi vidas_, the tree whose top you can see. Indefinite Pronouns. _iu_ (acc. _iun_), anyone, someone or other; _ies_, anyone's, someone's; _iuj_ (acc. _iujn_), any persons, some persons or other; _io_ (acc. _ion_), anything, something. _cxiu_ (acc. _cxiun_), everyone, each; _cxies_, everyone's, everybody's, each one's; _cxiuj_ (acc. _cxiujn_), everybody, all; _cxio_ (acc. _cxion_), everything, all. _neniu_ (acc. _neniun_), no one, nobody; _nenies_, no one's, nobody's; _nenio_ (acc. _nenion_), nothing, not anything.
