Ethe (ਇੱਥੇ) means 'here' in Punjabi. It points to a place close to the speaker, the opposite of othe, 'there'. 'Ethe aao' means 'come here', 'ethe ki hai?' means 'what is here?', and 'main ethe rehna haan' means 'I live here'. It is one of the first place words a learner of Punjabi meets, and it turns up in directions, invitations and everyday talk. ## Ethe and its family of place words Ethe belongs to a set of four Punjabi place words that rhyme and work together. Kithe asks 'where?', as in 'tusi kithe ho?', where are you? Jithe means 'where' in a relative clause, as in 'jithe main rehna haan', where I live. Ethe means 'here', close to the speaker. And othe means 'there', away from the speaker. Wiktionary lists the set as kithe, jithe, ethe and othe, and learning the four together is easier than learning ethe on its own, because they answer the same question from four directions. Wiktionary traces ethe to the Sanskrit word ittham, and notes a related word in Marathi, ithe. ## How do Punjabis use ethe? In directions, ethe anchors the speaker's own spot: 'ethe khade raho', stand here, or 'kitab ethe rakho', put the book here. In invitations it welcomes someone in: 'ethe aao, baitho', come here, sit down. In stories it sets the scene close by: 'ethe ik chhota jeha pind si', here there was a small village. Wiktionary gives the example 'ki itthe koi carac hai?', is there a church here?, which shows ethe doing the same job in a polite question about a place nearby. ## Is ethe the same as itthe? Yes. Itthe (ਇੱਥੇ) is the spelling Wiktionary gives as the headword, and ethe (ਏਥੇ) is the form it lists in its Punjabi interrogative set, alongside kithe, jithe and othe. Both spellings mean the same thing, 'here', and in everyday speech they are used interchangeably. This page uses the headword spelling ਇੱਥੇ, but a reader who meets ਏਥੇ in a book or a message is looking at the same word. ## Related words [ਓਥੇotheThere](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/othe/)[ਕਿੱਥੇkithewhere, in which place](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/kithe/)[ਕਿੱਥੋਂkithonFrom where; whence](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/kithon/)[ਅੰਦਰAndarInside, within; as a noun, the inside or interior of a place or thing](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/andar/)[ਬਾਹਰBaharOutside, outdoors; also overseas or abroad, and as a noun the outside or exterior](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/bahar/) Advertisement Sources (3) 1.
