Chinese grammar - Demonstrative adjectives with a number of objects |
|||
|
|||
In Chinese, when we use demonstrative adjectives with a specific number of objects, we use the singular 这 (zhè) and 那 (nà) - 'this' and 'that'. So, for example in Chinese, we say 'this 3 apples' rather than 'these 3 apples'. |
