Welcome to today's lesson on '''Demonstrative Pronouns and Interrogative Pronouns''' in Mandarin Chinese! Understanding these pronouns is essential as they help us point out specific things or ask questions about them. This lesson is a vital part of your journey to mastering Mandarin, and I’m excited to guide you through it.
 
In Mandarin, pronouns can be a bit different from what you might expect if you're coming from an English-speaking background. Demonstrative pronouns help us indicate specific nouns, while interrogative pronouns allow us to ask questions. Grasping these concepts will improve your communication skills and fluency.
 
In this lesson, we will cover the following:

Demonstrative pronouns in Mandarin Chinese are used to indicate specific items or people. They translate to "this," "that," "these," and "those" in English.


Welcome to the lesson on demonstrative pronouns and interrogative pronouns in Mandarin Chinese! In this lesson, we will explore two important types of pronouns that are used to point out or ask about specific people or things. Demonstrative pronouns are used to indicate the proximity of an object or person, while interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions about people, things, or places. By learning these pronouns, you will be able to express yourself more effectively and ask questions with ease in Mandarin Chinese.
=== Types of Demonstrative Pronouns ===


== Demonstrative Pronouns ==
1. '''这 (zhè)''' - This
 
2. '''那 (nà)''' - That
