55
Q

Ceci
is the contraction of ce + ici (this + here), while cela is the contraction of ce + là (this + there).

Ceci is rare in spoken French. Just as là commonly replaces ici in spoken French (Je suis là - I’m here), French speakers tend to use cela
to mean either “this” or “that.” Ceci only really comes into play when one wants to really distinguish between this and that:

Je ne veux pas ceci, je veux cela.
I don’t want this, I want that.
