Demonstrative pronouns can be used by themselves or as determiners. There are different forms for singular, plural and three levels of distance. When working as determiners, they are declined to indicate the gender and case by adding -y for masculine, -i for feminine, -k for objective and -r for possessive. Examples: 'Neo '''kwa''' dongi!' ''''This''' is interesting!' 'Kny tut hoke '''kfey'''.' 'That distant big town.' | |||
