Understanding Հայերեն Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns in Հայերեն (Armenian) are words we use to point out specific things or people. They help us show if something is near or far from us, just like when we say 'this' or 'that' in English.
Types of Demonstrative Pronouns
Important Points
- Այս (Ays) - This (near the speaker)
- Այն (Ayn) - That (far from the speaker)
- Սա (Sa) - This (informal, near the speaker)
- Նա (Na) - That (informal, far from the speaker)
In Հայերեն, we use different words to say 'this' and 'that' depending on if the thing is close to us or far away. 'Այս' and 'Սա' are used for things that are close, while 'Այն' and 'Նա' are used for things that are far.
Using Demonstrative Pronouns
To use these pronouns, we simply place them before the noun we are talking about. It helps us make it clear which thing or person we mean.
Examples
- Այս գիրքը հետաքրքիր է։ (This book is interesting.)
- Այն տունը մեծ է։ (That house is big.)
- Սա իմ խաղալիքն է։ (This is my toy.)
Remember, using the right pronoun helps others understand if you are talking about something close or something far away. It's like pointing with words!
