    Saimaa, tuo Suomen järvistä suurin

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Both tuo and se can mean "that". The distinction between the two is complicated, but intrinsically understood by native speakers.
    • The main difference between the two is that tuo is 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, se is used, especially if it is the addressee who is indicating at something.
    • Another description is that tuo implies a closer mental connection to or focus at the speaker, while se implies a closer mental connection to or focus at the addressee.
    • When se is 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, se tends to be used as a medial demonstrative and tuo as a distal demonstrative.
    • According to Etelämäki (2009), tuo and se are distinguished by the former expressing referential openness and the latter implying adequate knownness of the referent. In other words, se implies that all participants in the conversion are aware of the referent, while tuo does not, as the referent may still be in the process of identification during the utterance. According to the same article, tämä expresses indexical asymmetry and tuo indexical symmetry; that is to say, tämä implies that the referent is more easily accessible to the speaker than to the addressed, and tuo does not.[1]
    • Some sources claim that se is anaphoric (referring to a previous expression), while tuo is deictic (referring to physical entities). However, se also has deictic uses, and tuo can be used anaphorically as well (but such uses are limited, generally only to provide emphasis).
    • When actively distinguishing between "this" and "that", tuo is more commonly used than se for the latter.

Declension

[edit]

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.

Hiligaynon

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *tuqu.

Verb

[edit]

tuo

  1. to believe

Italian

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

From Latin tuus, from Proto-Italic *towos.

In the singular, Latin tuum underwent *ʊu > *ou > *ɔu dissimilation,[1] cf. Sardinian tou, and also Latin ōvum > Italian òvo, Spanish huevo, ultimately producing [ˈtwɔu], and a plural [ˈtwɔi]. Italian then underwent its regular *wɔV > *uV sound change,[2] cf. *bwɔe > bue, *mjɛu > mio, producing ultimately [ˈtu.o]. This latter sound change is blocked by a following [i], which explains the plural form tuoi, cf. *mjɛi > miei.

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): /ˈtu.o/, (unstressed) /tu.o/[3]
  • Rhymes: -uo
  • Hyphenation: tù‧o, (unstressed) tu‧o
  • Audio:(file)

Determiner

[edit]

tuo (feminine tua, masculine plural tuoi, feminine plural tue)

  1. your (informal)
    i tuoi figliyour children
    le tue macchineyour cars
    casa tuayour house
    tuo padreyour father

Pronoun

[edit]

tuo (feminine tua, masculine plural tuoi, feminine plural tue)

  1. yours
    Sono i tuoi.They are yours.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • The use or non-use of the definite article in conjunction with the determiner and possessive pronoun is the same as for mio; see the usage note there.
