celleslà

Celleslà is a French demonstrative pronoun used to refer to something or someone previously mentioned or understood from context, particularly when emphasizing a distinction or distance. It functions similarly to "that one" or "those ones" in English. The pronoun agrees in gender and number with the noun it replaces. Therefore, it can appear in four forms: celui (masculine singular), celle (feminine singular), ceux (masculine plural), and celles (feminine plural). The suffix "là" is added to indicate proximity or to distinguish from a closer alternative ("ci").

For example, "J'aime cette robe, mais je préfère celle-là" translates to "I like this dress, but I prefer that one." Here, "celle-là" refers to a specific dress previously discussed or implied, distinguishing it from "cette robe." Similarly, "Ces livres sont intéressants, mais ceux-là sont exceptionnels" means "These books are interesting, but those ones are exceptional." The use of "là" often implies a contrast or a specific item being pointed out. It is a versatile pronoun essential for conveying precise meaning in French.
