Pronoun

neuter singular

1. this, that

Usage notes

This demonstrative can be used alone, as a pronoun. It is used as a demonstrative for plural nouns of either grammatical gender. In this capacity it precedes the noun, with the genitival adjective n in between, e.g. "these feet" is nf3 n rdw (literally "this of feet").

It forms a contrastive pair with the demonstrative pronoun nn, in which case nf3 is distal.

There is a more formal variant: nf

Inflection
