The pronoun and demonstrative pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns point to a thing, a person or an idea said earlier, as if pointing with a finger. They can take the place of a word, a phrase or a previous sentence, or stand before a noun and define it. This kind includes words such as bu, shu, u, o‘sha, ana, mana. “Bu” and “shu” point to something nearer the speaker; “u” and “o‘sha” to something farther away or mentioned before. When defining a noun, the pronoun always stands before it: shu ko‘cha (this street), o‘sha bog‘ (that garden). When standing in place of a noun, it is a subject or an object: Buni sen yozdingmi? (Did you write this?)
