*: {{uxi|eu|Mahaia handia '''da'''.|The table '''is''' big.}}
*: {{uxi|eu|Mahaia handia '''duk'''.|The table '''is''' big. (informal, to a male)}}

==Catalan==

===Etymology===
{{inh+|ca|roa-oca|y}}, {{m|roa-oca|i}}, {{m|roa-oca|hic}}, from {{inh|ca|la|hīc||here}} and {{m|la|ibī||there}}. Compare {{cog|fr|y}}.

===Pronunciation===
* {{ca-IPA}}
* {{homophones|ca|i}}
* {{rhymes|ca|i}}

===Pronoun===
{{ca-ppron|type=encl+procl}}

# ''represents a place associated with the action described by the verb, unless the place would be introduced by the preposition [[de#Catalan|de]]''
# [[there]] (in constructions such as "[[there is]]", "[[there are]]", etc.: ''see'' [[haver-hi]])
# ''replaces an adverb (or adverbial phrase) describing the manner, instrument or association of an action''
# ''replaces a phrase introduced by any preposition except [[de#Catalan|de]] (most commonly [[a#Catalan|a]] or [[en#Catalan|en]])''
# ''replaces an indefinite noun or an adjective which is the predicate of a verb ''other'' than [[ésser]], [[esdevenir]], [[estar#Catalan|estar]] or [[semblar#Catalan|semblar]]''
# {{lb|ca|Central Catalan}} ''in combination with other object pronouns, the third-person singular indirect object pronoun'' ("to him", "to her", "to it")

====Usage notes====
* When more than one object pronoun is associated with a given verb, '''hi''' is always the last in the group.
* '''Hi''' and [[ho#Catalan|ho]] cannot be used together with the same verb, nor can two '''hi'''s be used together.
* It is sometimes stated that '''hi''' is ''never'' used to replace a complement beginning with [[de#Catalan|de]]. This is not completely accurate, as '''hi''' can replace ''adverbial'' phrases such as [[de pressa]], [[de sobte]], etc.
