In the third person, when talking about a number of people or things, modifiers are frequently used to disambiguate between referents that would otherwise all be referred to as ''de''. Some commonly used phrases are ''de la'' 'the woman', ''de hu'' 'the man', ''de ngo'' 'the person', ''de nu'' 'the thing'. These are also very commonly used without ''de'', as definiteness tends not to be marked explicitly except through the use of the genitive form ''zyi''. | In the third person, when talking about a number of people or things, modifiers are frequently used to disambiguate between referents that would otherwise all be referred to as ''de''.
