The title says it all. I would like to make an adjective relating to a place I am referring to via tie, much like I can create tiama from tiam in the fourth dimension. It does not need to be related to the word tie structurally.

A context where such word would be useful is, for example, when speaking of a place (country, subcontinent, area), to mention its culture or habits. The closest I can think of in English is "local" but Russian has a word which fits just perfectly: тамошний (там = there). That being one of the source languages of Esperanto, and actually using Esperanta way of creating an adjective from base words, gives me hope there's something more specific than loka.

Adjectives are formed by adding an -a to the end. Correlatives are considered whole words (and not roots+ending), so no letters would be removed from tie. The result would be tiea - and it means just what you suggested.

  • La tieaj esperantistoj - the Esperantists who are there.

    Thank you! When the other two answers came I wondered how I could be so stupid to not plainly try gluing an -a. But then I realized what has prevented me was that tie looked as it already had a suffix, so my mind wanted to either chop something off first, or perhaps add a linking letter. Your sentence "Correlatives are considered whole words, so no letters would be removed [...]" helps greatly, here as well as in other potential questions, I'm sure.

tiea appears in PIV:

*tiea, ĉi-tiea. Ekzistanta en tiu, en ĉi tiu loko: la tieaj produktoj; la ĉi-tiea publiko estas severa.

There are many of examples of its usage in Tekstaro:

Ĉiuj personoj, kiuj partoprenis en la tiea kongreso, konservis pri ĝi la plej agrablan kaj plej entuziasman memoron por la tuta vivo

(That one being a quote from Zamenhof)

Kiel urbestro de la ĉi-tiea urbo mi havas la devon zorgi pri tio, ke al la traveturantoj kaj al ĉiuj noblaj homoj estu nenia premado.

Ili treege ŝatas la tiean bonegan vivon.

You mean like this - La rusian**aj** programistoj estas lertaj.

If you want to use the word tie then you can say tiea or tiuloka - La tieaj programistoj estas lertaj.

Tiea = Tiuloka, tie situanta (from ReVo)
