Tagalog

Alternative forms

• rito
• d2 — text messaging

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

• (Standard Tagalog) IPA^(key): /ˈdito/ [ˈd̪iː.t̪o]
• Rhymes: -ito
• Syllabification: 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.

Derived terms

• bukod sa rito
• dumito
• nandito
• naririto
• narito
• pagparito
• paparituhin
• parito
