Deixis is reference by means of an expression whose interpretation is relative to the (usually) extralinguistic context of the utterance, such as
Locative | Existential | Imperative | Motion | |
here (near me) | diri |
dia adia |
ari | ngari |
here (near you and me) | dinhi |
nia ania |
anhi | nganhi |
there (near you) |
dinha diha |
naa anaa |
anha | nganha |
there (far) | didto |
tua atua |
adto | ngadto |
Note: John U. Wolff (Beginning Cebuano: Part 1) labeled the deitics as present, past & future for the existential, locative & imperative.
