Usage notes
edit- See э́то (éto) for additional pronoun senses specific to the neuter singular.
- Although in theory proximal, use of э́тот (étot) overlaps with that of the English distal demonstrative pronouns, that and those. The theoretically distal Russian demonstrative pronoun, тот (tot), is mostly used in a few mostly grammatically supportive roles.
