Etymology

From Western Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *di-tu,[1] from *di + *-tu, from Proto-Austronesian *Cu (2pl deixis and spatio-temporal reference: that; there, then). The latter half of the word is likely related to ito, in a similar pattern to other Tagalog demonstrative pronouns. Compare Cebuano didto and Ilocano ditoy. Meanwhile, the former half is possibly related to Malay di and Indonesian di as a likely cognate.

Pronunciation

Adverb

dito (Baybayin spelling ᜇᜒᜆᜓ)

  1. here (near the speaker and the listener)
  2. here (near the speaker)
    Synonyms: (dialectal) dine, (dialectal) rine

Usage notes

  • When the preceding word ends with a vowel, ⟨w⟩, or ⟨y⟩, rito is used instead, but the distinction isn't always made. Other words with this phenomenon include diyan, doon, daw, and din.
