Description

Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out something or someone. To refer to people or objects close to us, we use "this" or "these." For people or objects further away, we use "that" or "those."

Example:
I like this shirt better than that red shirt.
What do you think of these shoes? Or do you like those shoes the better?

Basic Rules

1. In Norwegian, demonstrative pronouns must agree in gender and number with the accompanying noun. (denne dressen | dette huset | disse skoene)
2. The noun must be in the definite form (denne dressen | dette huset | disse skoene)
