Place adverbs here and there

Place adverbs here and there


These eighteen (!) words are known to be quite tricky, so be patient. All the examples are copied from my previous posts about the pronouns t�m�, tuo and se.  

t�ss�, t�st�, t�h�n
A small area that is close to the speaker:

  • Odota t�ss� v�h�n aikaa. - Wait here for a while. 
  • Ota t�st� nen�liina. - Take a tissue from here. 
  • Istu t�h�n odottamaan. - Sit (to) here to wait.

t��ll�, t��lt�, t�nne
A larger area such as a room, a town or a country:

  • Hei, me ollaan t��ll�! - Hey, we are over here!
  • T��lt� on Helsinkiin 200 kilometri�. - Its 200 kilometers to Helsinki from here. 
  • Tulkaa t�nne! - Come (to) over here!

tuossa, tuosta, tuohon (tossa, tosta, tohon)
A small area that you can see and  point at:

  • Tuossa on kirjoitusvirhe. - Theres a spelling mistake. 
  • Ota tuosta lis�� paperia. - Take more paper from there. 
  • Allekirjoita tuohon.  Sign (to) there.

tuolla, tuolta, tuonne (tuolla, tuolta, tonne)
A larger area that you can see and point at:

  • Mit� tuolla tapahtuu? - Whats happening over there?
  • M� ostin tuolta eilen uuden takin. - I bought a new jacket from there yesterday.
  • Laita se tuonne. - Put it over there.

siin�, siit�, siihen
A small area that you cannot see or that is close to the recipient:

  • Siin� sin� olet! - There you are!
  • Ota siit� kahvia. - Take some coffee from there. 
  • Kirjoita siihen sun nimi. - Write your name (to) there. 

siell�, sielt�, sinne
