** 1905, Ludoviko Lazaro Zamenhof, Fundamento de Esperanto:Mi legas. — Ci skribas (anstataŭ “ci” oni uzas ordinare “vi”).I read. — Thou writest (instead of “ci” one ordinarily uses “vi”.)
** 1899, Felikso Zamenhof, (Please provide the book title or journal name):Ekamis la konato / Kaj reciproke ŝi; / Post paso de monato / Ŝanĝiĝis »Vi« per »ci«.Her acquaintance fell in love / and reciprocally she; / after the passage of a month / "You" changed into "thee".
** 1907, Henri Vallienne, Kastelo de Prelongo, ch. 6:Cia sintenado estos vere fiera, li moke murmuretis en ŝian orelon, kiam ci estos vekinta la tutan loĝantaron.Thine attitude shall be truly proud, he mockingly whispered into her ear, when thou shalt have awakened the whole population.

#### Usage notes

Some people believe that this word was used in the past and then became archaic, but this is not true. Actually, this word has never been in common usage; Zamenhof advised against using 'ci' as early as the Dua Libro de l' Lingvo Internacia, published in 1888. Many Esperantists don't even understand it. Some authors have used 'ci' to portray archaic language, for translations, and for stylistic effects. This usage is criticized by other writers.

## Hausa
### Etymology

From Proto-Chadic, ultimately from Proto-Afroasiatic *taʔ- (“to eat, especially something soft, to close lips, especially loosely”). Compare Akkadian 𒋫𒀪𒌑 (ta-ʔu-u$_2$ /⁠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”)).

### Etymology 2

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.

#### Alternative forms

* -ci (enclitic)
* ce (before a third person direct object clitic)

#### Pronunciation

* IPA: /t͡ʃi/$^*$, (Sicily, Calabria) $^*$/t͡ʃi/
* Hyphenation: ci

#### Pronoun

ci
* us
    Loro ci conoscono ― They know us
* (reflexive pronoun) ourselves; each other
    Ci arrabbiamo ― We (ourselves) get angry
    Ci amiamo ― We love each other
* to us
    Lui ci ha detto questo ― He said this to us
* replaces the indefinite personal pronoun si (“one”) before reflexive si (“oneself”); one
    Ci si lava. ― One washes oneself.
    Ci si annoia quando non c'è niente da fare.One gets bored when there is nothing to do.
* it, to it
    Non ci credo. ― I do not believe it.

##### Usage notes

* Becomes ce when followed by a third person direct object clitic (lo, la, li, le, or ne).
