Understanding Қазақша Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns are special words that help us point out things. In Қазақша, they can show us if something is near or far, and if it's singular or plural. Let's learn how to use them!
Types of Demonstrative Pronouns
Important Points
- Бұл (This) - Used for something that is close to us and singular.
- Сол (That) - Used for something that is far from us and singular.
- Мына (These) - Used for things that are close to us and plural.
- Ана (Those) - Used for things that are far from us and plural.
How to Use Demonstrative Pronouns
When you want to talk about something close to you, use 'Бұл' for one thing and 'Мына' for more than one thing. If the thing is far away, use 'Сол' for one thing and 'Ана' for more than one thing.
