Demonstrative Adjectives

Words for this / these / that / those / that-over-there / those-over-there. Agree in gender and number with the noun they point to.

The rules

  • este / esta (this) — estos / estas (these): closest to the speaker.
  • ese / esa (that) — esos / esas (those): a bit farther.
  • aquel / aquella (that over there) — aquellos / aquellas (those over there): far from both speakers.
  • Always agree with the noun, not the speaker.
