- For a definition of demonstrative see Demonstrative (definition)
Demonstratives in Gaelic are created by combining an article, a noun, followed by one of three demonstrative particles: seo proximate (this), sin distal (that), siud or 'ud far distal (yonder).
1) an cù seo "this dog" 2) an cù sin "that dog" 3) an cù 'ud "yonder dog"
If the noun is modified by an adjective, the adjective comes before the demonstrative particle:
4) an cù mòr seo "this big dog"
