THE DEMONSTRATIVE ADVERB OF PLACE.

68. The demonstrative adverbs of place related to the pronouns "tiu" and

"cxi tiu" are "tie", there, in (at) that place, and "cxi tie", here, in

(at) this place:

La libroj kusxas cxi tie, the books lie here (in this place).

Mi trovis vin tie kaj lin tie cxi, I found you there and him here.

Tie la vetero sxajnas tre agrabla,

there the weather seems very pleasant.

69. If the verb in the sentence expresses motion toward the place

indicated by "tie" or "cxi tie", the ending "-n" is added to the adverb

(46), forming "tien", thither, there, and "cxi tien", hither, here:

Li iros tien, he will go there (thither).

Mi venis cxi tien, I came here (hither).

Ni estis tie, kaj venis cxi tien,
