Usage notes
- See то (to) for additional pronoun senses specific to the neuter singular.
- Тот (Tot) in the first pronoun sense is used much less commonly than э́тот (étot).
- Even when used in the plural, if кто (kto) follows, the remaining clause is in the singular: те (plural), кто лю́бит (singular) (te, kto ljúbit, “those (plural) who love (singular)”).
- When кто (kto) is used after тот (tot), тот (tot) is implied to mean a person or people: те, кто лю́бит сноубо́рдинг (te, kto ljúbit snoubórding, “those (people) who love snowboarding”). Кото́рый (Kotóryj) is used after тот (tot) when тот (tot) refers to a particular noun that has been mentioned (which could still be a category of people, or even the word "people", лю́ди (ljúdi)): не все чле́ны, а то́лько те, кото́рые получи́ли разреше́ние (ne vse člény, a tólʹko te, kotóryje polučíli razrešénije, “not all members (a particular noun), only those (of that noun) who received permission”). Что (Što) after тот (tot) can also be used in either case but may be seen as archaic or colloquial.
