🔎 Words in this story
✴️ Essas (those)
This is the feminine form of “those.” The masculine form is “esses,” and “isso” is an invariable neuter form, for something yet to be identified.
When referring to something in space, these words are translated as “those” and indicate something close to the listener. If the object that is close to the listener is singular we use “essa,” “esse” or “isso” and translate them as “that.”
If the object is far away from both the speaker and the listener, “those” is translated as “aqueles/aquelas” or “aquilo,” and “that” is translated as “aquele,” aquela” or “aquilo.”
But the pronouns "esse(s)" and "aquele(s)" and their respective feminine and neuter forms, can both be used to refer to a time in the past.
