Ceuxlà

"Ceuxlà" is a French demonstrative pronoun. It functions as a substitute for "those ones" or "those people" in English, referring to a specific group or individuals previously mentioned or understood from context. It is the plural masculine form of the demonstrative pronoun "celui-là." The feminine equivalent is "celles-là."

The pronoun "ceuxlà" is composed of the demonstrative pronoun "ceux" (meaning "those") and the adverbial particle "là" (meaning "there" or "that"). The addition of "là" serves to specify or emphasize the referent, distinguishing it from something else that might be closer or more general. It is often used to contrast two groups, for example, "ceux-là sont intelligents, mais ceux-ci sont travailleurs."

In grammatical constructions, "ceuxlà" typically precedes a relative pronoun like "qui" or "que" when referring to people, or "qui," "que," or "dont" when referring to things. For instance, "Ceux-là qui sont partis tôt sont arrivés à temps." It can also stand alone when the referent is clear. The pronoun helps to avoid repetition and maintain clarity in French discourse.
