Although the forms of ce can refer to a noun that is near (this/ these) and one that is far (that/those), the meaning will usually be clear from context. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.
To make it especially clear that you’re referring to something near versus something far, add -ci or -là, respectively, to the noun following the demonstrative adjective. © 2015 by Vista Higher Learning, Inc. All rights reserved.
