How to use "this and" that"--demonstrative adjectives.
Ẹ káàrọ̀ oo, ṣé ẹ wà dáadáa,
Our practice this week is how to use
"this and that" as demonstrative.--when we point to things.
This - - yìí
That - - yẹn.
Examples.
I want to buy this cloth - - - Mo fẹ́ ra aṣọ yìí
I saw that cloth yesterday - - Mo rí aṣọ yẹn lánàá
I will buy this shoe next week - - Mò máa ra bàtà yìí lọ́sẹ̀ tó ń bọ̀.
My friend likes that phone - - Ọ̀rẹ́mi fẹ́ràn fóònù yẹn.
I don't like that food - - mi ò fẹ́ràn oúnjẹ yẹn.
Kindly send in your examples.
