In Biblical Hebrew, demonstrative :ref:`pronouns<pronoun>` can function either as :ref:`nouns<noun>` or
|
|
|
:ref:`adjectives<adjective>`. Demonstrative pronouns can change form according to gender (:ref:`masculine<gender_masculine>`
|
|
|
or :ref:`feminine<gender_feminine>`) and number (:ref:`singular<number_singular>` or :ref:`plural<number_plural>`) but NOT
|
|
|
according to person (i.e. :ref:`first<person_first>`, :ref:`second<person_second>`, or :ref:`third<person_third>` person).

Demonstrative pronouns can be used to distinguish individuals within a
|
|
|
group interacting with each other.

|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
When used as an attributive adjective, a demonstrative pronoun often follows the noun, and both terms can take the
|
|
|
:ref:`definite article<particle_definite_article>`. Sometimes neither the noun nor the demonstrative pronoun takes
|
|
|
the definite article. In either case, the demonstrative pronoun makes the described noun :ref:`definite<definiteness>`.
