Usage notes

edit
  • As with other correlatives of objects, and unlike English that, tio always functions as a pronoun, never an adjective.
  • When combined with ĉi, the adverbial particle of proximity, ĉi tio or tio ĉi means "this [thing]".
  • The plural forms tioj and tiojn are nonstandard and rare.
