Tamil nouns can take one of four prefixes, i, a, u, and e which are functionally equivalent to the demonstratives in English. |
Among the definite determiners are the demonstratives this and that, these and those. |
Languages that lack definiteness markers like the Slavonic ones are expected to resort to demonstratives more freely. |
Note that I had to check all the instances of that by hand, to distinguish the demonstratives from the complementizers. |
All demonstratives can be used anaphorically in all dialectal varieties of Estonian. |
Pronouns, nouns and demonstratives are used exclusively in the singular and plural forms through the use of classifiers, suffixes and prefixes. |
