ABSTRACT

Measure words are also used between demonstrative adjectives nà and zhè and nouns. In Note 17 of Lesson 1, we saw nà and zhè as demonstrative pronouns on their own and they can only occur in the subject position. When nà and zhè are used with a measure word, they can be used in other positions too. For example:

Zhè ge rén shì wnde jcnglm. subject

This person is my manager.
