  It's always seemed strange that Esperanto has only =one= word for all 
three:  tie = there; tio = that; tia = that kind; etc.
  To talk of something near, you need to stick in the particle "c^i", 
which turns the meaning around:  c^i-tie = here; c^i-tio = this; 
c^i-tia = this kind, etc.  I haven't seen anyone attempt to simulate the 
three-way distinction of Spanish and Japanese, but it could probably be 
done.
