ESPERANTO CORRLEATIVES
"Corrlelatives" are words like "who", "what", "where", "then", "always", etc. In Esperanto, all of these words are formed in a regular, logical pattern, as shown in the table below.Two other words may be used in conjunction with these, where appropriate:
- ĉi - indicates proximity. For example, tio = that, tio ĉi or ĉi tio = this.
- ajn - indicates "any". For example, tio = that (thing), tio ajn = anything.
