Understanding 'Aquél' - Pointing to the Distant Past or Location
The Spanish word 'aquél' is a demonstrative pronoun, meaning 'that one' when referring to a masculine noun that is distant from both the speaker and the listener. It's crucial to understand that 'aquél' is not just about physical distance; it can also denote a temporal distance, often referring to a time in the past. Unlike demonstrative adjectives (like 'aquel' without the accent), pronouns like 'aquél' stand alone and replace a noun. For instance, if you are pointing at a book on a shelf far away and say 'aquél', you are implicitly saying 'that book'. The accent mark on 'aquél' is essential to distinguish it from the demonstrative adjective 'aquel', which modifies a noun (e.g., 'aquel libro').
Think of 'aquél' as a way to single out a specific masculine item or person that is out of immediate reach or in a time that has passed. It's a versatile word that adds specificity and clarity to your Spanish. For example, when discussing historical events, 'aquél' might refer to a specific period or a particular significant moment. In everyday conversation, it's used to differentiate between objects that are far from the speakers. The context will usually make it clear whether you are talking about a distant object or a distant point in time. Mastering 'aquél' will significantly enhance your ability to express nuances in Spanish, particularly when you need to refer to something or someone that is not close by.
- Key Distinction
- 'Aquél' is a pronoun and stands alone, while 'aquel' (without the accent) is an adjective and precedes a noun.
Look at aquél mountain; it is very tall.
- Temporal Use
- 'Aquél' can refer to a past time, like 'that year' or 'that era'. For instance, 'Aquél fue un gran año para la música' (That was a great year for music).
I remember aquél day when we met.
The concept of distance in Spanish demonstratives is often divided into three categories: 'este/esta/estos/estas' for things close to the speaker, 'ese/esa/esos/esas' for things close to the listener or moderately distant, and 'aquel/aquella/aquellos/aquellas' for things far from both. 'Aquél' specifically targets the most distant masculine option. It's important to remember that when 'aquél' is used, it's understood what noun it is replacing from the context of the conversation or the surrounding sentences. This avoids repetition and makes the language more fluid.
Consider a scenario where you are looking at two cars. One is parked right next to you, and the other is across the street. If you want to talk about the car across the street, and it's a masculine car (like 'coche' or 'automóvil'), you would use 'aquél' if you were referring to it as a pronoun. For example, 'Me gusta más aquél' (I like that one more), implying the car across the street.
- Pronoun vs. Adjective
- Remember, 'aquel' (adjective) must be followed by a noun (e.g., aquel edificio - that building), whereas 'aquél' (pronoun) stands alone, replacing the noun (e.g., Aquél es mi edificio - That one is my building).
The man who lives in aquél house is my uncle.
The concept of temporal distance is also key. 'Aquél' can evoke nostalgia or refer to a specific, often significant, period from the past. It carries a sense of remoteness. For example, when an older person reminisces about their youth, they might say, 'En aquél entonces, las cosas eran diferentes' (In that time back then, things were different). This usage highlights a past that is quite distant and distinct from the present.
- Geographical and Temporal Distance
- 'Aquél' is used for things far from both speaker and listener, and also for past times considered remote.
Of the two cars, I prefer aquél.
Mastering 'Aquél' in Context: Practical Sentence Construction
Using 'aquél' correctly involves understanding its role as a pronoun that stands in for a masculine noun, signifying something distant. It's most effective when the noun it replaces is either already understood from the conversation or has been previously mentioned. The key is that 'aquél' must refer to something that is physically far from both the speaker and the listener, or to a point in time that is considered distant. Let's explore various sentence structures where 'aquél' shines.
Indicating Physical Distance: When pointing to a masculine object or person that is far away, 'aquél' can be used as the subject or object of a sentence. For example, if you and a friend are looking at two buildings, one near you and one across a large park, and you want to refer to the one across the park, you might say: 'Aquél es el edificio que quiero visitar.' (That one is the building I want to visit.) Here, 'aquél' replaces 'edificio'.
- Subject of the Sentence
- When 'aquél' is the subject, it's typically followed by a verb. Example: 'Aquél parece más antiguo.' (That one seems older.)
Between the two dogs, I think aquél is friendlier.
Object of a Preposition: 'Aquél' can also follow prepositions, indicating direction or possession related to the distant item. For instance, 'Me refiero a aquél.' (I'm referring to that one.) Here, 'aquél' is the object of the preposition 'a'.
- Object of a Preposition
- Used after prepositions like 'a', 'de', 'en', 'con'. Example: 'Hablaron de aquél proyecto.' (They talked about that project.)
The story about aquél time is fascinating.
Referring to Distant Past Times: When 'aquél' refers to a time, it often evokes a sense of nostalgia or a distinct historical period. For example, 'Recuerdo aquél verano cuando todo era más sencillo.' (I remember that summer when everything was simpler.) In this case, 'aquél' refers to a specific, distant summer.
- Temporal Reference
- Used to refer to a specific, distant past event or period. Example: 'Aquél fue un momento decisivo en la historia.' (That was a decisive moment in history.)
That book on the highest shelf, aquél, is a classic.
Distinguishing from 'Ése': It's important to differentiate 'aquél' from 'ése'. While 'ése' refers to something closer to the listener or moderately distant, 'aquél' signifies greater distance. For example, if you have two phones, one in your hand and one on a table across the room, you would use 'este' for yours, 'ése' for the one on the table, and 'aquél' for a phone that is very far away. 'Prefiero aquél modelo, no éste.' (I prefer that model, not this one.)
- Comparison with 'Ése'
- 'Ése' is for proximity to the listener; 'aquél' is for distance from both. Example: 'El coche azul es ése, pero el rojo es aquél.' (The blue car is that one (near you), but the red one is that one (far away).)
That painting on the far wall, aquél, is quite striking.
In comparisons: When comparing two distant masculine items, 'aquél' can be used to refer to the first or second one mentioned. For example, 'Compré dos libros. Me gusta más aquél que este.' (I bought two books. I like that one more than this one.)
- In Comparisons
- Used to refer back to a previously mentioned distant item in a comparison. Example: 'De los dos cafés, prefiero aquél que está en la mesa.' (Of the two coffees, I prefer that one on the table.)
That old castle on the hill, aquél, has a long history.
Real-World Usage: 'Aquél' in Authentic Spanish Conversations
'Aquél' is a common component of the Spanish language, particularly in spoken contexts where precise reference to distant objects or past events is needed. You'll encounter it in everyday conversations, travel narratives, historical discussions, and even in literature and film. While perhaps less frequent than 'este' or 'ese' due to the specific requirement of significant distance, its usage adds a layer of descriptive richness.
Conversations about Location: Imagine you're on a hiking trip with a friend, looking at a vast landscape. You might point towards a distant peak and say: 'Mira aquél pico. Parece muy alto.' (Look at that peak. It seems very high.) Here, 'aquél' refers to the distant, masculine 'pico' (peak).
- Travel and Geography
- Common when describing scenery, landmarks, or locations far from the speakers. Example: 'Ese pueblo es bonito, pero aquél en la montaña es espectacular.' (That town is nice, but that one on the mountain is spectacular.)
He pointed to aquél distant star.
Reminiscing about the Past: When people talk about their childhood, old friends, or historical periods, 'aquél' is often used to refer to a specific, distant time. For example, an older person might say: 'En aquél tiempo, las cosas eran muy diferentes.' (In that time, things were very different.) This refers to a past era that is far removed.
- Historical and Personal Narratives
- Used to evoke specific past periods or events. Example: 'Recuerdo aquél primer concierto al que fuimos.' (I remember that first concert we went to.)
That old book on the highest shelf, aquél, is a treasure.
Discussions about Art and Objects: In museums or galleries, or when discussing possessions, 'aquél' can be used to refer to a specific piece that is distant or stands out. For example, 'El cuadro que está al fondo, aquél, me parece fascinante.' (The painting at the back, that one, I find fascinating.)
- Art and Collections
- Referring to specific items in a collection or displayed items. Example: 'De todas las esculturas, aquél es la más impresionante.' (Of all the sculptures, that one is the most impressive.)
He mentioned aquél incident from years ago.
In Literature and Film: Authors and screenwriters use 'aquél' to create vivid imagery and refer to characters, settings, or events that are remote in time or space within the narrative. This helps establish a specific point of reference for the audience.
- Literary and Cinematic Use
- Used in narratives to point to specific distant elements. Example: 'La descripción de aquél castillo evocaba imágenes de leyendas.' (The description of that castle evoked images of legends.)
Comparing Distant Objects: In a shop or when discussing options, if multiple items are far from both the speaker and listener, 'aquél' can be used to distinguish them. For instance, 'Entre esos dos coches, prefiero aquél de color azul.' (Between those two cars, I prefer that blue one.)
- Decision Making
- Used when making a choice between distant options. Example: 'De las tres casas en la colina, me gusta más aquél.' (Of the three houses on the hill, I like that one more.)
He pointed to aquél distant building.
Avoiding Pitfalls: Common Mistakes with 'Aquél'
While 'aquél' is a valuable word for expressing distance and past events, learners often make mistakes in its usage. The most common errors stem from confusing it with its counterparts ('este', 'ese') or misapplying the distinction between demonstrative adjectives and pronouns. Understanding these pitfalls can help you use 'aquél' more accurately and confidently.
1. Confusing 'Aquél' with 'Éste' and 'Ése': The primary confusion arises from the three degrees of distance. 'Éste' (or 'este' as an adjective) refers to something close to the speaker. 'Ése' (or 'ese' as an adjective) refers to something close to the listener or moderately distant. 'Aquél' (or 'aquel' as an adjective) refers to something far from both. A common mistake is using 'aquél' when 'ése' or 'éste' would be more appropriate. For example, saying 'Aquél libro está cerca' (That book is close) would be incorrect; you should use 'este libro' or 'ése libro' depending on proximity to the speaker/listener.
- Incorrect Distance Reference
- Mistake: Using 'aquél' for something nearby. Correct: Use 'este' or 'ese'. Example: 'Aquél está aquí cerca.' (Incorrect) -> 'Este está aquí cerca.' (Correct for near speaker).
He mistakenly called the nearby car 'aquél'.
2. Forgetting the Accent Mark (Pronoun vs. Adjective): The accent on 'aquél' is crucial. 'Aquél' is a pronoun, meaning it stands alone and replaces a noun. 'Aquel' (without the accent) is a demonstrative adjective and must be followed by a noun. A common error is omitting the accent when using it as a pronoun, or using it without a noun. For instance, 'Aquel es mi casa' should be 'Aquél es mi casa'. Conversely, using 'aquél coche' is incorrect; it should be 'aquel coche'.
- Missing Accent Mark
- Mistake: Using 'aquel' as a pronoun. Correct: Use 'aquél'. Example: 'Aquel es el correcto.' (Incorrect) -> 'Aquél es el correcto.' (Correct).
The student incorrectly wrote 'aquel is interesting' instead of 'aquél is interesting'.
3. Overusing 'Aquél' for Temporal References: While 'aquél' can refer to past times, it specifically implies a distant or somewhat remote past. Learners might use it for recent past events where 'ese' or even 'este' (if the past event feels very connected to the present) might be more natural. For example, saying 'Recuerdo aquél mes pasado' (I remember that past month) might sound a bit too distant for a recent month. 'Ese mes pasado' would often be more appropriate.
- Inappropriate Temporal Use
- Mistake: Using 'aquél' for recent past. Correct: Use 'ese' or 'este' for closer past. Example: 'Me gustó aquél fin de semana.' (If the weekend was very recent, 'ese' might be better.)
She used 'aquél' to refer to yesterday, which was too distant.
4. Assuming 'Aquél' is Always Physical Distance: While physical distance is a primary use, remember its temporal dimension. Not recognizing this can lead to underutilization or misinterpretation. Conversely, assuming it's *always* temporal can lead to incorrect usage in purely spatial contexts.
- Ignoring Temporal Aspect
- Mistake: Only thinking of physical distance. Correct: Consider both physical and temporal distance. Example: 'Aquél fue un gran descubrimiento.' (Referring to a past discovery, not a physical object.)
5. Gender Agreement Issues: 'Aquél' is masculine. Using it to refer to a feminine noun is incorrect. For example, referring to 'la casa' (the house) would require 'aquella'. A mistake would be 'Aquél es mi casa' if the speaker intends to refer to the house as a feminine noun. The correct pronoun would be 'Aquella'.
- Gender Agreement
- Mistake: Using masculine 'aquél' for a feminine noun. Correct: Use 'aquella'. Example: 'Aquél es la mesa.' (Incorrect) -> 'Aquella es la mesa.' (Correct).
He incorrectly used 'aquél' to refer to the distant 'mesa' (table).
Distinguishing 'Aquél' from Similar Terms
Understanding 'aquél' is best achieved by comparing it with its close relatives: other demonstrative pronouns and adjectives, and sometimes even personal pronouns in specific contexts. The key differentiator for 'aquél' is the degree of distance (both physical and temporal) it signifies.
1. Demonstrative Pronouns:
- Aquél vs. Éste vs. Ése
- These are the most direct comparisons. They all mean 'that one' or 'this one' but differ in proximity.
* Aquél (masculine singular): Refers to something far from both speaker and listener, or far in the past. Example: 'Prefiero aquél que está en la colina.' (I prefer that one that is on the hill.)
* Éste (masculine singular): Refers to something close to the speaker. Example: 'Me gusta éste que tengo en la mano.' (I like this one that I have in my hand.)
* Ése (masculine singular): Refers to something close to the listener, or moderately distant from both. Example: '¿Ves ése de allí?' (Do you see that one over there?)
- Corresponding Demonstrative Adjectives
- These precede a noun and share the same distance rules.
* Aquel (masculine singular): 'Aquel coche' (That car - far away).
* Este (masculine singular): 'Este coche' (This car - near speaker).
* Ese (masculine singular): 'Ese coche' (That car - near listener or moderately distant).
Comparing distances: 'Éste es mío, ése es tuyo, y aquél es del vecino.' (This one is mine, that one is yours, and that one is the neighbor's.)
2. Temporal Pronouns/Adverbs:
- Aquél vs. Entonces
- 'Entonces' is a more general term for 'then' or 'at that time', often referring to a past period without the same emphasis on distance as 'aquél'.
* Aquél: Implies a specific, distant point or period in time. Example: 'Recuerdo aquél día.' (I remember that day - implying a memorable, distant day.)
* Entonces: More general, can refer to a past time, often sequential. Example: 'Estábamos en Madrid. Entonces, decidimos ir a Barcelona.' (We were in Madrid. Then, we decided to go to Barcelona.)
'I remember aquél year' vs. 'In entonces, we lived in a different city.'
- Aquél vs. Aquella/Aquellos/Aquellas
- These are simply the feminine and plural forms of 'aquél', used for agreement.
* Aquella: Feminine singular (e.g., 'aquella casa').
* Aquellos: Masculine plural (e.g., 'aquellos árboles').
* Aquellas: Feminine plural (e.g., 'aquellas ideas').
3. Personal Pronouns (in some contexts):
- Aquél vs. Él
- While 'él' means 'he' or 'him', 'aquél' can sometimes replace 'él' when referring to a male person who is distant or from a distant time, adding emphasis on that distance.
* Aquél: Emphasizes distance. Example: 'Ese hombre es mi amigo, pero aquél de allá no lo conozco.' (That man is my friend, but I don't know that one over there.)
* Él: Standard personal pronoun. Example: 'Él es mi amigo.' (He is my friend.)
'I saw your brother over there, but aquél man seemed familiar.' (Referring to a distant man).
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The accent mark on 'aquél' is not just for pronunciation; it's a crucial grammatical distinction. Without it, 'aquel' is a demonstrative adjective modifying a noun (e.g., 'aquel perro' - that dog). With the accent, 'aquél' is a demonstrative pronoun standing alone (e.g., 'Aquél es mi perro' - That one is my dog). This distinction is vital for correct Spanish usage.
発音ガイド
- Pronouncing it with stress on the first syllable ('A-quel').
- Not pronouncing the accent mark, leading to confusion with the adjective 'aquel'.
- Muffling the final 'l' sound.
- Using an incorrect vowel sound for 'é'.
難易度
At B1/B2 level, learners can typically understand 'aquél' when used in context, especially when referring to physical distance. Temporal uses and more nuanced comparisons might require careful attention. The distinction from 'éste' and 'ése' is key.
Producing 'aquél' accurately requires understanding the distance rules and the pronoun/adjective distinction. Learners at B1/B2 might make mistakes with accent marks or choosing the correct demonstrative for the intended distance.

The primary confusion is the missing accent. 'Aquél' is a pronoun, standing alone. 'Aquel' is an adjective and must be followed by a noun. For example, 'Aquél es mi coche' is correct, but 'aquel coche es mío' is also correct (adjective). 'Aquél coche' is incorrect.
'Éste' refers to something close to the speaker, while 'aquél' refers to something far from both. Using 'aquél' for something close is incorrect.
'Ése' refers to something near the listener or moderately distant, while 'aquél' refers to something far from both. Using 'aquél' for something moderately distant or near the listener is often incorrect.

使い方
Moderate. Less frequent than 'este' or 'ese' due to the specific requirement of significant distance.
-
Using 'aquel' without an accent as a pronoun.
→
'Aquél' (with accent) is the pronoun.
Learners often forget the accent mark, which is crucial. 'Aquél es mi coche' (That one is my car) is correct. 'Aquel es mi coche' is incorrect when referring to 'that one' as a pronoun.
-
Confusing 'aquél' with 'éste' or 'ése'.
→
Use 'éste' for near speaker, 'ése' for near listener/moderate distance, 'aquél' for far from both.
This is a fundamental mistake regarding the degrees of distance. For example, saying '<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>Aquél</mark> libro está aquí' (That book is here) is incorrect; it should be 'Este libro está aquí.'
-
Using 'aquél' for feminine nouns.
→
Use 'aquella' for feminine nouns.
'Aquél' is masculine. If referring to a feminine noun like 'casa' (house), the correct pronoun is 'aquella'. '<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>Aquél</mark> es mi casa' is incorrect; it should be 'Aquella es mi casa.'
-
Using 'aquél' for recent past events.
→
Use 'ese' or 'este' for recent past.
'Aquél' implies a distant past. For recent events, 'ese' or 'ese tiempo' is more appropriate. '<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>Aquél</mark> mes pasado fue caluroso' might sound too distant; 'Ese mes pasado fue caluroso' is usually better.
-
Using 'aquél' as an adjective.
→
Use 'aquel' (without accent) before a noun.
The pronoun 'aquél' stands alone. If you want to modify a noun, you need the adjective form 'aquel'. '<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>Aquél</mark> coche' is incorrect; it should be 'Aquel coche'.
ヒント
Accent is Key!
Always remember the accent mark on 'aquél'. It distinguishes the pronoun from the adjective 'aquel'. This is a common point of error for learners.
Visualize Distance
When deciding whether to use 'aquél', 'ése', or 'éste', visualize the position of the object or person relative to both you and your listener. If it's far from both, 'aquél' is your best choice.
Connect to 'Away'
Associate 'aquél' with the English word 'away'. The 'a' sound and the idea of distance can help you remember its meaning. Imagine yelling 'Quel!' because something is far away.
Listen and Imitate
Pay close attention to how native Spanish speakers use 'aquél' in conversations, movies, and songs. Try to imitate their usage in your own practice.
Gender and Number
Remember that 'aquél' is masculine singular. Use 'aquella' for feminine singular, 'aquellos' for masculine plural, and 'aquellas' for feminine plural, ensuring agreement with the noun.
Temporal Nuances
Don't forget that 'aquél' can also refer to a distant past. Use it when you want to evoke a sense of remoteness in time, often associated with nostalgia or historical events.
Contrast with 'Ése' and 'Éste'
Actively practice differentiating 'aquél' from 'ése' and 'éste'. Create sentences comparing objects at different distances using all three demonstratives.
Write Your Own Examples
The best way to learn is by doing. Write several sentences using 'aquél' in different contexts: physical distance, temporal distance, and comparisons.
Pronoun vs. Adjective
Understand that 'aquél' stands alone as a pronoun. If you need to modify a noun, use the adjective form 'aquel' (without the accent) before the noun.
Expand with Related Words
Learn related adverbs of place like 'allí' and 'allá' to further solidify your understanding of distance concepts in Spanish.
暗記しよう
記憶術
Imagine you are pointing to a mountain peak very far away, and you exclaim, '¡Qué alto es aquél!' (How tall that one is!). The 'a' sound at the beginning can remind you of 'away', and the 'quél' sounds like 'yell' – you might yell about something far away. Also, think of 'aquél' as 'away-el', emphasizing distance.
視覚的連想
Picture a long, winding road stretching far into the distance, leading to a solitary, masculine figure standing at the very end. This figure represents 'aquél', the distant masculine entity. Or, visualize a grandfather pointing to an old photograph of himself as a young man, saying, 'I was like aquél back then.'
Word Web
チャレンジ
Try to describe five objects in your room or in a picture that are far from you, using 'aquél' and its related forms correctly. Then, try to recall a distant memory and describe it using 'aquél' to refer to the time.
語源
The word 'aquél' originates from the Latin demonstrative pronoun 'ille', meaning 'that'. Over time, through Vulgar Latin and Old Spanish, it evolved into forms like 'aquel'. The addition of the accent mark ('áquel', later 'aquél') developed to distinguish the pronoun from the adjective form ('aquel'). This evolution reflects the Spanish language's tendency to develop distinct forms for pronouns and adjectives.
元の意味： Originally derived from Latin 'ille' (that), signifying distance.
Indo-European > Italic > Latin > Romance > Spanish文化的な背景
When referring to people or events from the past with 'aquél', be mindful of the emotional connotations. It can evoke nostalgia, wistfulness, or a sense of irretrievability. Ensure the context matches the sentiment you wish to convey.
In English, we often use 'that one' for similar situations, but Spanish has a more granular system of demonstratives based on proximity (close to speaker, close to listener, far from both). The temporal use of 'aquél' to denote a distant past is also more pronounced than in English, where we might use phrases like 'back then' or 'in those days'.

よくある質問
10 問The main difference is the accent mark. 'Aquél' (with the accent) is a demonstrative pronoun, meaning it stands alone and replaces a noun (e.g., 'Aquél es mi coche' - That one is my car). 'Aquel' (without the accent) is a demonstrative adjective and must be followed by a noun (e.g., 'Aquel coche es mío' - That car is mine). Both refer to something distant.
You use 'aquél' when the masculine noun you are referring to is far from both the speaker and the listener. 'Éste'/'este' is for things close to the speaker, and 'ése'/'ese' is for things close to the listener or moderately distant.
Yes, 'aquél' can refer to a distant time in the past, often evoking a sense of nostalgia or a specific historical period. For example, 'Recuerdo aquél verano' (I remember that summer) implies a summer quite far in the past.
No, while physical distance is a primary use, 'aquél' also signifies temporal distance. It can refer to a time or event that is far removed from the present. The context will usually clarify whether it's spatial or temporal distance.
The plural forms are 'aquellos' (masculine) and 'aquellas' (feminine). The feminine singular form is 'aquella'. These follow the same rules of distance and usage as 'aquél'.
While 'aquél' is a pronoun and typically stands alone, in some specific contexts, especially for emphasis or in certain literary styles, you might encounter 'el aquél' or 'la aquélla'. However, it's much more common for 'aquél' to be used without a definite article.
'Aquél' is used for specific masculine nouns (or concepts understood as masculine). 'Aquello' is the neuter demonstrative pronoun, used for abstract ideas, concepts, or unspecified things that are distant. For example, 'Aquél es un problema' (That is a problem - specific masculine noun), versus 'Aquello es un misterio' (That is a mystery - abstract concept).
Yes, 'aquél' and its related forms are standard Spanish and are understood across all Spanish-speaking regions. However, regional preferences might lead to more frequent use of 'ese' or 'este' even when 'aquél' might be grammatically correct, especially in informal speech.
It would be grammatically incorrect and confusing for the listener. You should use 'éste'/'este' for something close to the speaker, or 'ése'/'ese' for something close to the listener or moderately distant. Using 'aquél' incorrectly can lead to misunderstandings about location or time.
Yes, 'aquél' can refer to a distant masculine person. For example, 'Aquél hombre que está allí es mi tío' (That man who is over there is my uncle). Remember to use 'aquella' for distant feminine people.
