Pronoun

tuo

1. (demonstrative)that(overthere)(when the speakerpointsat the thing or person, either physically or mentally; comparese,see usage notes)

   Tuoon saari.

   Thatis an island.

   Tuohaluaa syödä jäätelöä.

   That personwants to eat ice cream.

   Tuooli ikävästi sanottu.

   Thatwas a nasty thing to say.

   Onkotuossamitä juuri sanoit mitään perää?

   Does [that] what you just said make any sense?

   Eiköhäntuojo riitä.

   Thatought to be enough.

Determiner

tuo

1. that(pointed at by the speaker; comparese,see usage notes)

   Näetkötuontalon?

   Can you seethathouse?

   Mistätuovalo tulee?

   Where isthatlight coming from?

   Voituotaraukkaa.

   Ravintola on kaduntuollapuolen.

   The restaurant is onthatside of the street.

   Saimaa,tuoSuomen järvistä suurin

   Saimaa, [that(lake which is)] the largest of all the lakes in Finland

Usage notes

• Bothtuoandsecan mean "that". The distinction between the two is complicated, but intrinsically understood by native speakers.
  • The main difference between the two is thattuois used when the speaker is somehow indicating at the referent, such as when pointing at it with a finger, looking at it directly, or with other gestures. Otherwise,seis used, especially if it is theaddresseewho is indicating at something.
  • Another description is thattuoimplies a closer mental connection to or focus at the speaker, whileseimplies a closer mental connection to or focus at the addressee.
  • Whenseis used to introduce the addressee to something new or to refer to a physical entity, it tends to be close or near to them in some way (not necessarily physically). That is to say,setends to be used as amedialdemonstrative andtuoas adistaldemonstrative.
  • According to Etelämäki (2009),tuoandseare distinguished by the former expressingreferential opennessand the latter implyingadequate knownnessof the referent. In other words,seimplies that all participants in the conversion are aware of the referent, whiletuodoes not, as the referent may still be in the process of identification during the utterance. According to the same article,tämäexpressesindexical asymmetryandtuoindexical symmetry;that is to say,tämäimplies that the referent is more easily accessible to the speaker than to the addressed, andtuodoes not.
  • Some sources claim thatseisanaphoric(referring to a previous expression), whiletuoisdeictic(referring to physical entities). However,sealso has deictic uses, andtuocan be used anaphorically as well (but such uses are limited, generally only to provide emphasis).
  • When actively distinguishing between "this" and "that",tuois more commonly used thansefor the latter.

Declension

This word could be considered to belong to declension type 19 (suo), except that the singular and plural forms come from different sources, so the declension can be called irregular. The forms in brackets are never or very rarely used.

Italian

Etymology

FromLatintuus,fromProto-Italic*towos.

In the singular, Latintuumunderwent *ʊu > *ou > *ɔudissimilation,cf.Sardiniantou,and alsoLatinōvum>Italianòvo,Spanishhuevo,ultimately producing [ˈtwɔu], and a plural [ˈtwɔi]. Italian then underwent its regular *wɔV > *uV sound change,cf. *bwɔe >bue,*mjɛu >mio,producing ultimately [ˈtu.o]. This latter sound change is blocked by a following [i], which explains the plural formtuoi,cf. *mjɛi >miei.
