== Introduction ==
Welcome to the lesson on Demonstrative Pronouns in Northern Kurdish! Demonstrative pronouns are an essential part of the language as they help us point out specific people, objects, or places. In this lesson, we will explore the various forms and uses of demonstrative pronouns in Northern Kurdish. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently use demonstrative pronouns in your conversations. So let's dive in!
== Forms of Demonstrative Pronouns ==
In Northern Kurdish, there are three main forms of demonstrative pronouns: the near demonstrative pronouns, the far demonstrative pronouns, and the neutral demonstrative pronouns. These forms help us indicate the distance between the speaker and the object being referred to. Let's take a closer look at each form and how they are used.
=== Near Demonstrative Pronouns ===
The near demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to objects that are close to the speaker. They are also used to indicate familiarity or emphasis. In Northern Kurdish, the near demonstrative pronouns are:
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| vê || vay || this
|-
| vêyî || vay-yi || this one
|-
| vêyên || vay-yan || these
|}
For example:
* Ez vê kitêbê dibînim. (I see this book.)
=== Far Demonstrative Pronouns ===
The far demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to objects that are far from the speaker. They are also used to indicate unfamiliarity or detachment. In Northern Kurdish, the far demonstrative pronouns are:
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| wê || way || that
|-
| wêyî || way-yi || that one
|-
| wêyên || way-yan || those
|}


<div class="pg_page_title">Northern Kurdish Grammar → Pronouns → Demonstrative Pronouns</div>
For example:
* Hûn wê malê dibînin. (You see that house.)


__TOC__
=== Neutral Demonstrative Pronouns ===
 
The neutral demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to objects that are neither close to nor far from the speaker. They are also used when the speaker does not want to emphasize or distance themselves from the object being referred to. In Northern Kurdish, the neutral demonstrative pronouns are:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Northern Kurdish !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
|-
| ew || ev || that
|-
| ewyî || ev-yi || that one
|-
| ewyên || ev-yan || those
|}
 
For example:
* Ji bo wî şexsê ew carê min fêm nekir. (For that person, I did not understand this time.)
 
== Usage of Demonstrative Pronouns ==
 
Demonstrative pronouns can be used in various ways to provide clarity and context in a sentence. Let's explore some common ways in which demonstrative pronouns are used in Northern Kurdish.
 
=== Identifying Objects ===


==Introduction==
One of the main uses of demonstrative pronouns is to identify and specify objects. For example:


Welcome to this lesson on Northern Kurdish grammar! Today we will be learning about demonstrative pronouns. Demonstrative pronouns refer to specific nouns or subjects and indicate their relative distance or location. They often answer the question "which one?" and can be very useful in everyday conversation.
* Ev xwendekar nû ye. (This student is new.)
* Wê pirtûkê ji min re bide. (Give me that book.)


In this lesson, we will be exploring different types of demonstrative pronouns in Northern Kurdish and their uses. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to use demonstrative pronouns in your sentences accurately and effectively.
In both sentences, the demonstrative pronouns "ev" and "wê" are used to point out specific objects and provide additional information about them.


=== Pointing out Locations ===

Demonstrative pronouns can also be used to point out specific locations. For example:
==Types of Demonstrative Pronouns==


In Northern Kurdish, there are two types of demonstrative pronouns: proximal and distal. The proximal demonstrative pronouns refer to nouns and subjects that are near the speaker, while the distal demonstrative pronouns refer to nouns and subjects that are farther away from the speaker.
* Di wê bajarê de hewceyên gelek hene. (There are many needs in that city.)
* Vê deverê pir baş e. (This place is very nice.)


Here are the proximal and distal demonstrative pronouns in Northern Kurdish:
Here, the demonstrative pronouns "wê" and "vê" are used to indicate specific places and provide a better understanding of the location being referred to.


<table class="wikitable">
=== Emphasizing or Contrasting ===

    <th> Pronunciation </th>

    <td> these </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td> wan </td>
    <td> [wan] </td>
    <td> those </td>
  </tr>
</table>


As you can see from the table, the proximal demonstrative pronouns are "ev" and "van", while the distal demonstrative pronouns are "ew" and "wan". Using these demonstrative pronouns can add clarity and precision to your sentences.
Demonstrative pronouns are often used to emphasize or contrast between different objects or situations. For example:


==Usage of Demonstrative Pronouns==
* Vê rûpelê ne ji vê rûpelê xweş e. (This page is not as nice as that page.)
* Wê kesê ev yek ji min re xwendî kir. (That person studied this one for me.)


Demonstrative pronouns are used to refer to nouns and subjects in a sentence that are either not known or not mentioned. They can be used in place of nouns or subjects to avoid repetition and to make sentences more concise and direct.
In these sentences, the demonstrative pronouns "vê" and "wê" are used to create a distinction and highlight the differences between the objects or situations being discussed.


Here are some examples of how to use demonstrative pronouns in Northern Kurdish:
== Cultural Insights ==


<ul>
In Northern Kurdish culture, the usage of demonstrative pronouns can vary depending on the region or dialect. Some regions may have additional forms or variations of demonstrative pronouns that are specific to their dialect. It is interesting to note these regional differences and how they contribute to the richness and diversity of the Northern Kurdish language.
  <li> Ev pençe here (This pen is here)</li>
  <li> Ew tepsi wan e (That tray is theirs)</li>
  <li> Van deriyên amade ne (These gates are closed)</li>
  <li> Wan birkirina merekî li cem van kuîkên gera (Those squirrels are eating hazelnuts near those trees)</li>
</ul>


In the first example, the proximal demonstrative pronoun "ev" is used to refer to "pençe" (pen) and to clarify its position in the sentence. In the second example, the distal demonstrative pronoun "ew" is used to refer to "tepsi" (tray) and to show the possession with "wan" (theirs). In the third example, the proximal demonstrative pronoun "van" is used to refer to "deriyên" (gates) and to indicate their state. In the last example, the distal demonstrative pronoun "wan" is used to refer to "birkirina merekî" (squirrels) and to place them near the trees.
In addition, demonstrative pronouns are often used in storytelling and folklore to create vivid imagery and set the scene for the audience. The choice of demonstrative pronouns can help transport the listeners to specific places or times, making the stories more engaging and captivating.
