Traditional: 這
This — pointing at a person or thing near the speaker. On its own it can be the subject: 这是我的书 'this is my book'. Before a noun a measure word normally comes in between: 这个人 'this person', 这本书 'this book'. In everyday speech it is often pronounced zhèi before a measure word. 这里 or 这儿 means 'here'.
Đại từ chỉ định chỉ người hay vật ở gần: này, đây, cái này. Đứng một mình làm chủ ngữ: 这是我的书 (đây là sách của tôi). Đứng trước danh từ thì thường phải có lượng từ ở giữa, và thứ tự ngược với tiếng Việt: 这个人 (người này), 这本书 (quyển sách này). Khi nói, trước lượng từ thường đọc thành zhèi. 这里, 这儿 là “ở đây”.
