Jithe (ਜਿੱਥੇ) is the Punjabi word for 'where' in a relative clause: the 'where' in 'the village where I live'. It points to a place the rest of the sentence is talking about, rather than asking about it. 'Eh oh pind hai jithe main rehnda haan' means 'This is the village where I live'. ## Jithe and its family of place words Jithe 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 jithe on its own, because they answer the same question from four directions. English Wiktionary does not yet have a separate entry for jithe, so it gives no pronunciation or Shahmukhi spelling of its own for the word; the set itself is shown in the tables on the kithe and othe pages. ## How do Punjabis use jithe? In stories, jithe sets the scene: 'oh thaan jithe asi mile si, mainu yaad hai', I remember the place where we met. In everyday talk it joins two halves of a sentence: 'mainu nahi pata jithe oh gaya', I do not know where he went. With othe it makes a pair that balances a sentence: 'jithe tusi khade ho, uthe hi ruko', stay right where you are standing. And with vi it stretches into 'wherever': jithevi, as in 'jithevi tusi jaoge', wherever you go. The word always looks back to a place already named or understood, which is what makes it relative rather than a question word. ## What is the difference between kithe and jithe? Kithe asks a question and jithe answers inside a sentence. 'Tusi kithe ho?' asks where you are, and the answer might be 'main uthe haan jithe dukaan hai', I am there where the shop is. Kithe opens a question, jithe ties a place to the words around it. Mixing them up is the most common mistake learners make with this little family of words, and hearing the pair in real sentences is the fastest way to keep them straight. ## Related words [ਕਿੱਥੇkithewhere, in which place](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/kithe/)[ਓਥੇotheThere](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/othe/)[ਇੱਥੇetheHere](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/ethe/)[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.
