The ability to point things out is fundamental in any language. In Arabic, this task relies on Demonstrative pronouns (asm\u0101’ al-ish\u0101rah – \u0623\u0633\u0645\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0625\u0634\u0627\u0631\u0629), which change based on the object’s gender, number, and distance. Therefore, mastering these will give you a major boost in fluency! This comprehensive guide will show you how to say this in arabic, that in arabic, and Those for any situation, in both Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and common dialects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
