ci

Mi legas. — Ci skribas (anstataŭ “ci” oni uzas ordinare “vi”).

1905, Ludoviko Lazaro Zamenhof, Fundamento de Esperanto:

I read. — Thou writest (instead of “ci” one ordinarily uses “vi”.)

Ekamis la konato / Kaj reciproke ŝi; / Post paso de monato / Ŝanĝiĝis »Vi« per »ci«.

1899, Felikso Zamenhof, (Please provide the book title or journal name):

Her acquaintance fell in love / and reciprocally she; / after the passage of a month / "You" changed into "thee".

Cia sintenado estos vere fiera, li moke murmuretis en ŝian orelon, kiam ci estos vekinta la tutan loĝantaron.

1907, Henri Vallienne, Kastelo de Prelongo, ch. 6:

Thine attitude shall be truly proud, he mockingly whispered into her ear, when thou shalt have awakened the whole population.

(rare) thou, you (second-person informal singular pronoun)

From Italian or French tu, Russian ты (ty), etc., plus the i of personal pronouns.


ci

ci

From Proto-Chadic, ultimately from Proto-Afroasiatic *taʔ- (“to eat, especially something soft, to close lips, especially loosely”). Compare Akkadian 𒋫𒀪𒌑 (ta-ʔu-u₂ /ta'u/, “to eat”), Mehri tewō (“eat”), Arabic تَأْتَأَ (taʔtaʔa, “to stammer, to stutter, to reduplicate sounds, to mumble or move lips”), and with varying Berber forms Tamahaq ⵜⵜ (tǝtt), Tarifit ⵜⵜ (tǝtt), Central Atlas Tamazight ⵜⵛ (tc), and Kabyle teṭṭ (pharyngeal-coloring found as well in the Arabic variant تَعْتَعَ (taʕtaʕa), and in that sense possible further connections to طَعِمَ (ṭaʕima, “to taste”) and عَضَّ (ʕaḍḍa, “to bite”)).

ci

ci (countable and uncountable, plural ci-ci)

ci

Ci arrabbiamo

Ci amiamo

(reflexive pronoun) ourselves; each other

Lui ci ha detto questo

Ci si annoia quando non c'è niente da fare.

replaces the indefinite personal pronoun si (“one”) before reflexive si (“oneself”); one

Non ci credo.

with the first letter frequently capitalised as a sign of respect, and to distinguish them from third person subjects

Third person pronominal forms used as formal terms of address to refer to second person subjects. Unlike the singular forms

the plural forms are mostly antiquated terms of formal address in the modern language

and second person plural pronouns are almost always used instead

Uncertain. Rohlfs and Von Wartburg favoured/favored Late Latin ecce hīc. Maiden casts doubt on this etymology, pointing out that Italian ci is an unstressed 'weak' form, while Latin hic otherwise survives in Italian only in stressed forms (reinforced by Latin ecce or eccum) such as ciò, qua, and qui. (It should also be noted that all of the latter trigger syntactic doubling in a following word, thanks to their original final /k/, while ci does not.) Maiden proposes instead an origin in Latin hince, variant of hinc (“hence, from here”), pointing out that in parts of southern Italy there exists a 1PL pronoun 'nci (cf. also 'nce). Treccani, on the other hand, proposes an origin in Latin hīce, a variant of hīc (“here”). In any case, the Italian term is certainly cognate with Neapolitan ce, Sicilian cci and Sassarese zi, all three of which share similar adverbial senses, with the latter two also having pronominal senses.
