Вказівні займенники
Вказівні займенники – служать для вказівки на предмети, що знаходяться поруч (this, these) або на деякій відстані (that, those) від мовця.
This house is not mine, mine is that green cottage next to it. – Цей будинок – не мій, мій – он той зелений котедж поруч з ним.
Вказівні займенники мають форму однини і множини.
Однина
this – цей, ця, це
that – той, та, то
Множина
these – ці
those – тi
Використовувати вказівний займенник для прямої вказівки на якусь особу, крім ситуації знайомства, вважається нечемним:
Mom, dad, this is Jennifer, my girlfriend. – Мамо, тату, це – Дженніфер, моя подружка.
This is our secretary. – Це – наша секретарка. (зневажливе відношення)
Вказівні займенники як посилання на час
Вказівні займенники можуть описувати не тільки близькість в просторі, але і в часі:
займенник this позначає момент розмови або поточний відрізок часу:
This summer is so rainy. – Це літо таке дощове.
займенник that описує час в минулому або майбутньому:
Many small companies went bankrupt that summer. – Того літа збанкрутувало багато дрібних компаній.
У таких фразах, як this country, this city, займенник this позначає країну, в якій знаходиться мовець, тому при його перекладі потрібно враховувати контекст.
I find the system of education in this country too confusing. (з британської газети) – Я знаходжу британську систему освіти занадто заплутаною.
Крім цього, до вказівних займенників можна віднести such, який вказує на певну якість предмета.
Such small details will make your flat look cozy. – Такі невеликі деталі можуть зробити вашу квартиру затишнішою.
