In Thai grammar, Demonstrative Pronouns are words that replace nouns in a sentence. They are called ‘demonstrative’ because they demonstrate or point out what is being referred to. There are two types of demonstrative pronouns in Thai: those that are proximal, meaning closer and those that are distal, meaning farther away. These words are similar to English words ‘this’ and ‘that’. The key Demonstrative Pronouns in Thai are ‘นี้ (this)’ and ‘นั้น (that)’.
