Usage of "那些"
"那些" is a demonstrative pronoun used to refer to multiple objects or people that are relatively distant from the speaker, similar to "those" in English. It is often used to specify a group distinct from "这些" (these).
Common Collocations
- "那些书" (those books): referring to a specific set of books not near the speaker.
- "那些人" (those people): indicating a group of people away from the speaker.
- "那些颜色" (those colors): pointing out colors not immediately present.
Nuances and Tips
"那些" emphasizes plurality and distance. It is used when the speaker wants to distinguish items or people that are not close by. Unlike "那些" which is plural, "那" alone can be singular or plural depending on context but is less specific.
Avoid confusing "那些" with "那些个" which is more colloquial and sometimes used for emphasis in spoken Chinese.
"那些" is very common in everyday conversation and writing, especially when comparing or contrasting groups.
