The proximal demonstrative is used to refer to something that is near to the speaker. It can be translated to "this/these (one(s))".

:e.g. ''kana nama'' "'''this''' person"; ''cascase ~~kaneeni~~'' "'''these''' red '''ones'''".

:e.g. ''kana nama'' "'''this''' person"; ''cascase kanaani'' "'''these''' red '''ones'''".

The distal demonstrative is used to refer to something at a distance from the speaker. It can be translated to "that/those (one(s))".

:e.g. ''koona nama'' "'''that''' person"; ''cascase ~~koonooni~~'' "'''those''' red '''ones'''".

:e.g. ''koona nama'' "'''that''' person"; ''cascase koonaani'' "'''those''' red '''ones'''".

When used as an article, demonstratives always take singular forms. When used independently, however, dedicated plural forms exist.
