Demonstrative Adjectives in Vietnamese grammar are valuable learning points for students studying the language. Just like English, Vietnamese uses demonstrative adjectives to specify and describe nouns. These include words equivalent to ‘this’, ‘that’, ‘these’, ‘those’ and can change depending on the distance between the speaker and the noun. Understanding and using these adjectives appropriately can enhance learners’ conversation skills significantly in Vietnamese.
