This, that and it

Finnish English Use
tämä this near me
tuo that (over there) away from both of us
se it, that near you, or already mentioned
nämä / nuo / ne these / those / they the plurals

Tämä paita on kaunis. — This shirt is beautiful. Tuo takki on kallis. — That coat (over there) is expensive. Otan sen. — I'll take it.

Finnish has a three-way choice where English has two: tuo points across the room, se points to something you've just talked about — or something the other person is holding.
