Tagalog

Alternative forms

Etymology

From Western Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *di-tu, from *di + *-tu, from Proto-Austronesian *Cu. 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

  • IPA(key): /ˈdito/,
  • Hyphenation: di‧to

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.
