A1 determiner #1,000 پرکاربردترین 9 دقیقه مطالعه

aquellos

رتبه 1,000

At the A1 level, you learn aquellos as the third part of the demonstrative set. You should focus on its basic meaning: 'those' for things that are far away. At this stage, you mostly use it to point at physical objects that are visibly distant, like 'those mountains' or 'those buildings'. You need to remember that it is masculine and plural, so it goes with words like libros, niños, or coches. It is the plural of aquel. A simple way to remember it is to think of it as 'those way over there'. You will likely use it less often than estos or esos, but it is essential for describing scenery or large environments. Focus on the physical distance first before worrying about the more complex temporal uses.

At the A2 level, you start to use aquellos more naturally in descriptions. You understand that it is used when something is far from both you and the person you are talking to. You begin to use it in simple past tense sentences to refer to 'those days' or 'those times' (aquellos días, aquellos tiempos). You are also becoming more comfortable with gender agreement, ensuring you don't use aquellos with feminine nouns like mesas. You might use it when traveling to point out distant historical sites. You are also learning to distinguish between the determiner aquellos (those books) and the pronoun aquellos (those ones), although they look the same.

At the B1 level, you use aquellos to add more precision and flavor to your storytelling. You understand the nostalgic nuance it can carry when talking about the past. You can use it to set a scene in a narrative: 'In those distant years, everything was different.' You also start to use it in more complex sentence structures, such as comparisons between different groups of objects at varying distances. You are aware that aquellos can sound more formal or 'literary' than esos, and you might choose it intentionally to vary your vocabulary. You also begin to recognize it in news reports or articles referring to people or groups mentioned earlier in a text.

At the B2 level, you have a firm grasp of the spatial and temporal nuances of aquellos. You can use it in the 'former/latter' construction in formal writing (aquellos referring to the first item mentioned). You understand its use in idiomatic expressions and proverbs. You can distinguish between the physical use (pointing at something) and the psychological use (referring to something distant in memory or emotion). Your use of the word is seamless, and you can explain the difference between esos and aquellos to others. You also notice how it is used in academic texts to refer to specific groups of data or subjects mentioned in previous paragraphs.

At the C1 level, you use aquellos with the sophistication of a native speaker. You use it to create specific rhetorical effects in your writing and speech. You might use it to create a sense of 'otherness' or extreme distance for dramatic effect. You are fully aware of its historical and literary connotations and can appreciate its use in classical Spanish literature. You can use it in complex legal or technical documents where precision in reference is paramount. You also understand regional variations and how some dialects might favor esos in contexts where aquellos would be strictly correct, and you can adapt your register accordingly.

At the C2 level, aquellos is a tool you use with total mastery. You can use it to evoke deep nostalgia, historical weight, or precise academic referencing. You understand its role in the evolution of the Spanish language from Latin. You can play with the word in creative writing, using it to establish perspective and distance in a way that guides the reader's imagination. You are sensitive to the rhythmic and phonetic qualities of the word in poetry and prose. You can identify and use archaic or highly formal structures involving aquellos that most learners would never encounter.

aquellos در ۳۰ ثانیه

Aquellos means 'those' for masculine plural nouns at a distance.
It is used when objects are far from both speaker and listener.
It can refer to the distant past (e.g., 'those years').
It must agree with masculine plural nouns like 'libros' or 'hombres'.

The Spanish word aquellos is a demonstrative determiner that translates to 'those' in English, but with a specific spatial and temporal nuance that is crucial for mastering Spanish. In the Spanish demonstrative system, there is a three-way distinction that doesn't exist as clearly in English. While English uses 'these' for things nearby and 'those' for everything else, Spanish divides 'those' into two categories: esos (those near the listener) and aquellos (those far from both the speaker and the listener). When you use aquellos, you are pointing to something at a significant distance, often out of reach or even out of immediate sight. It is the masculine plural form, meaning it must always accompany or refer to masculine plural nouns.

Spatial Distance: Used for objects or people located far away from both the person speaking and the person listening. Think of it as 'those over there' in the distance.

Mira aquellos montes nevados en el horizonte.

Temporal Distance: Used to refer to a time in the distant past, often with a sense of nostalgia or historical distance. It is common in storytelling and memoirs.

En aquellos años, la vida era mucho más sencilla y pausada.

Furthermore, aquellos carries a certain level of formality or poetic weight compared to esos. While esos is the workhorse of daily conversation for things across the room, aquellos is the word of explorers, historians, and dreamers looking at the horizon or back through the centuries. It creates a mental 'third zone' of distance that helps Spanish speakers organize their physical and mental world with more precision than English speakers. Understanding this word is not just about learning a translation; it is about adopting a new way of perceiving distance and time. When you say aquellos edificios, you are telling your listener that those buildings are quite a walk away. When you say aquellos días, you are signaling that you are talking about a period long gone, not just last week.

Agreement Rule: Always pair aquellos with masculine plural nouns. For feminine nouns, use aquellas. For singular masculine, use aquel.

¿Ves aquellos barcos en el mar? Son pescadores locales.

Using aquellos correctly requires an understanding of noun-adjective agreement and spatial awareness. As a demonstrative determiner, it almost always precedes the noun it modifies. The noun must be masculine and plural. If you are referring to a group of people that includes both men and women, the masculine plural aquellos is used as the default. This word functions as a pointer, directing the listener's attention to a specific group of items or people that are physically or metaphorically distant. It is often paired with adverbs of place like allí or allá (over there) to reinforce the sense of distance.

Prefiero aquellos zapatos de allá, los que están en la vitrina del fondo.

In narrative structures, aquellos is indispensable for setting the scene in the past. When a story begins with 'In those days...', the Spanish equivalent is almost always 'En aquellos días...'. This usage establishes a clear boundary between the present moment of the narrator and the distant past of the story. It is also used in comparisons to contrast something near with something far. For example, 'These books are mine, but those (over there) are yours.' In this case, if 'those' refers to a masculine noun like libros, you would use aquellos.

Sentence Position: Usually placed directly before the noun: aquellos hombres, aquellos problemas, aquellos árboles.

Aquellos tiempos no volverán, pero los recordamos con cariño.

Another sophisticated use of aquellos is in the 'the former/the latter' construction. When referring back to two previously mentioned items, aquellos refers to the first one mentioned (the one further back in the sentence), while estos refers to the most recent one. This is a common feature of academic and formal writing. For example: 'Compré manzanas y peras; aquellas (the apples) estaban dulces, estas (the pears) estaban ácidas.' Note that in this specific example, aquellas is used because manzanas is feminine, but the logic remains the same for masculine nouns using aquellos.

No me gustan estos cuadros, prefiero aquellos que vimos en la otra galería.

You will encounter aquellos in a variety of contexts, ranging from everyday speech to high literature. In daily life, it is most common when people are outdoors or in large spaces. Imagine standing at a viewpoint looking at a city; you would use aquellos to point out distant landmarks. In a restaurant, if there are several buffets and one is far away, you might ask about aquellos platos. However, its most evocative use is in storytelling. Grandparents often begin stories with 'En aquellos tiempos...' (In those times...), which immediately signals to the listener that the story takes place in a world very different from the present.

¿Recuerdas aquellos veranos que pasábamos en el pueblo de tu abuelo?

In literature and journalism, aquellos is used to provide clarity and distance. It is a staple of historical writing. When a historian writes about aquellos sucesos (those events), they are emphasizing the historical gap between the event and the reader. In legal or formal documents, it is used to refer to people or items mentioned previously in a way that avoids repetition while maintaining precision. You will also hear it in sports broadcasting, where a commentator might refer to aquellos jugadores who played for a team decades ago, contrasting them with the current lineup.

Common Context: Tourism: Tour guides often use it: 'Miren aquellos arcos romanos al final de la calle.'

Desde aquí se pueden ver aquellos picos que siempre tienen nieve.

In music and poetry, aquellos is a very 'romantic' word. It is frequently found in lyrics of boleros and tangos, referring to aquellos besos (those kisses) or aquellos ojos (those eyes) of a lost love. The phonetic quality of the word—the soft 'qu' and the flowing 'll'—makes it very musical. In Spain and Latin America, regional usage might vary slightly; some regions use esos more frequently for all distances, but aquellos remains the standard for anything truly remote. If you want to sound more native and precise, learning to deploy aquellos when something is truly 'out there' will significantly elevate your Spanish.

The most frequent mistake English speakers make with aquellos is failing to distinguish it from esos. Because English only has 'those', learners tend to default to esos for everything. However, using esos for something very far away can sound slightly 'off' to a native speaker, as if you are treating a distant mountain as if it were right next to the listener. Conversely, using aquellos for something the listener is holding is a major error; it would be like saying 'those things way over there' while pointing to the person's hands.

Mistake: Gender Mismatch: Using aquellos with feminine nouns. Incorrect: aquellos casas. Correct: aquellas casas.

Incorrect: Aquellos personas son mis amigos. (Should be aquellas).

Another common error involves the neuter form. Learners sometimes try to use aquellos to refer to abstract ideas or unknown objects in the distance. While aquellos is for masculine plural nouns, the neuter singular aquello is used for abstract concepts ('that thing over there' or 'that matter'). Mixing up the plural aquellos with the neuter aquello can lead to confusion. For example, 'I don't remember those (events)' would be no recuerdo aquellos sucesos, but 'I don't remember that (abstract thing)' would be no recuerdo aquello.

Mistake: Overuse in Modern Speech: In very casual, modern conversation, esos is often used even for distant objects. Overusing aquellos in a casual chat about your shoes might sound overly dramatic or archaic.

Correct: Pásame esos libros (they are near you). Correct: Mira aquellos barcos (they are far away).

To truly understand aquellos, you must see it as part of a system. The primary alternatives are estos and esos. These three words form the backbone of Spanish spatial reference. Choosing the right one depends entirely on the 'distance'—both physical and psychological—from the speaker and the listener. Let's look at how they compare and what other words can sometimes take their place in specific contexts.

Estos vs. Esos vs. Aquellos

Estos: These (right here, near the speaker).
Esos: Those (near the listener, or relatively close).
Aquellos: Those (far from both, over there).

Toma estos papeles, deja esos ahí, y trae aquellos del fondo.

In terms of alternatives, if you want to avoid the demonstrative, you can use phrases like los de allá (the ones over there). This is very common in spoken Spanish and sounds very natural. For example, instead of saying aquellos árboles, you might say los árboles de allá. This is often easier for learners because it doesn't require remembering the specific demonstrative form, though it is slightly less precise. In formal writing, los citados (the aforementioned) or los mencionados (the mentioned) can sometimes replace aquellos when referring back to a previous point in the text.

Los de allá vs. Aquellos: Aquellos is a single word and feels more integrated into the sentence structure, whereas los de allá is a descriptive phrase. Aquellos is preferred in literature and formal speech.

نکات

Agreement is Key

Always match 'aquellos' with masculine plural nouns. If the noun ends in -os, 'aquellos' is usually the right choice.

The Three-Step Rule

Think of distance in three steps: 1. Here (estos), 2. There (esos), 3. Way over there (aquellos).

Time Travel

Use 'aquellos' for any time period that feels 'far away' in your mind, like your childhood or the 19th century.

Hard K

Remember the 'qu' is just a 'k' sound. Say 'ah-KAY-yos'.

Former and Latter

In formal writing, use 'aquellos' to refer to the first group mentioned in a list of two.

Literary Flair

Using 'aquellos' instead of 'esos' in a description can make your writing sound more professional and evocative.

Context Cues

If you hear 'aquellos', look toward the horizon or listen for a story about the past.

Point it Out

Don't be afraid to use your hands! Demonstratives are 'pointing words' by nature.

A for Away

Aquel/Aquellos starts with A, just like the English word 'Away'.

Nostalgia

Use 'aquellos tiempos' when you want to sound like you are sharing a precious memory.

حفظ کنید

روش یادسپاری

Think of 'A-KAY-YOS'. The 'A' is for 'Away'. If it's Away, use Aquellos.

چالش

Try to find three things in your room (estos), three things in the next room (esos), and three things out the window (aquellos).

ریشه کلمه

Derived from the Latin 'ecce' (behold) combined with 'illum' (that). Over time, 'ecce illum' evolved into 'aquel' in Spanish.

معنای اصلی: Behold that one (over there).

Romance (Latin-based).

بافت فرهنگی

No specific sensitivities, but be aware that 'aquellos' can sound elitist or overly formal if used in very casual slang-heavy environments.

English speakers often struggle because English collapsed the three-way distance system into a two-way system (this/that).

The song 'Aquellos Ojos Verdes' (Those Green Eyes). The TV show 'Cuéntame cómo pasó' often uses 'aquellos años'. Don Quixote refers to 'aquellos gigantes' (those giants).

سوالات متداول

10 سوال

Use 'aquellos' when the objects are physically far from both you and the listener, or when referring to a distant time in the past. If the objects are near the person you are talking to, use 'esos'.

No, it can function as a pronoun. For example, 'No quiero estos libros, quiero aquellos.' Here, 'aquellos' stands in for 'aquellos libros'.

In the past, the pronoun form 'aquéllos' had an accent to distinguish it from the determiner. However, the RAE now states that the accent is no longer necessary, even for pronouns.

No, you must use 'aquellas' for a group consisting only of women. Use 'aquellos' for a group of men or a mixed-gender group.

Yes, but it is less frequent than 'esos'. It is mostly used when pointing at something in the distance or reminiscing about the past.

If you are referring to a specific masculine plural abstract noun like 'problemas', use 'aquellos problemas'. If the 'that' is completely abstract and not a specific noun, use the neuter 'aquello'.

The singular masculine form is 'aquel'.

No, 'they' is 'ellos'. 'Aquellos' means 'those' or 'those ones'.

It is used in both, but some Latin American dialects might favor 'esos' more in casual speech, while 'aquellos' remains standard for distance everywhere.

It is pronounced like a 'k'. Never pronounce it like 'kw'.
