LESSON XXXII.KIA AS A RELATIVE ADJECTIVE.
150. The interrogative adjective kia (112) is also used as a relative adjective, referring back to tia, or to some equivalent phrase or word indicating quality, such as sama, etc. In this use it may often be translated "as", or "which":
Mi havas tian libron, kian mi volas, I have such a (that kind of) book as (which kind) I wish.
Tiaj amikoj, kiajn vi havas, estas afablaj, such friends as (of which kind) you have are amiable.
Li deziras tian ĉapelon, kia kostas ses dolarojn, he desires that kind of hat which (kind) costs six dollars.
Mi havas la saman deziron, kian vi, I have the same desire as you (same kind which you have).
KIE AS A RELATIVE ADVERB.
151. The interrogative adverb kie, kien (118) is also used as a relative adverb of place with tie, tien, or some other expression of place for its antecedent.
Any interrogative adverb may also be used to introduce an indirect question, thus serving as a subordinating conjunction (cf. ĉu).
Kien is used when the verb in the relative clause expresses motion toward the place indicated, whether or not its antecedent has this ending. Similarly, kie may refer to tie or to tien:
Mi iros tien, kie vi estas, I shall go there where you are.
Mi estis tie, kien vi iros, I was there (at that place) where you will go.
Mi iros tien, kien vi iris, I shall go to that place to which you went (I shall go where you went).
Mi trovis lin en la urbo, kie li loĝas, I found him in the city where he lives.
Ĉu vi venos ĉi tien, kie ni estas? Are you coming here where we are?
THE FUTURE ACTIVE PARTICIPLE.
152. The future active participle, expressing what the word modified will do or is about to do, ends in -onta, as vidonta, about to see, ironta, about to go:
La forironta viro vokis sian serviston, the man going to depart (the about-to-depart man) called his servant.
La virino salutonta vin estas tre afabla, the woman about to greet you is very affable.
La venonta monato estas marto, the coming month is March.
La venontan semajnon mi foriros, the coming (next) week I shall depart.
THE PERIPHRASTIC FUTURE TENSES.
153. The compound tenses formed by combining the future active participle with each of the three aoristic tenses of estirepresent an act or state as about to occur in the present, past, or future, respectively, and are called periphrastic future tenses. Except when great accuracy is desired, these tenses are not often used. A synopsis of vidi in the first person singular and plural of these tenses is as follows:
