Translation of Polish word "tamten" to English
tamten
/tamtɛn/
Meaning
PronounThe (thing, person, idea, etc) indicated or understood from context, especially if more remote physically, temporally or mentally than one designated as "this", or if expressing distinction.
How to use
The demonstrative pronoun 'tamten' (that / that one there) declines like an adjective (tamten, tamta, tamto, tamci, tamte). It points to a distant object, in contrast to 'ten' (this). A common mistake is using it too frequently; Polish speakers often use just 'ten' unless explicitly contrasting two objects.
