This document defines and provides examples of demonstrative pronouns in Arabic. It explains that demonstrative pronouns are used to point to things that are either near or far. There are two main types: demonstrative pronouns indicating near things, which begin with the letter ه; and demonstrative pronouns indicating far things, which end with the letter ك. Examples are given of both near demonstrative pronouns like هذا and far demonstrative pronouns like ذلك. It is noted that with some plural nouns, whether masculine or feminine, the feminine singular demonstrative pronoun تلك is used.
