ces

these

adjective seh Common

Also means

those

Usage Note

Ces is the plural demonstrative covering both ce/cet and cette, so ces livres serves 'these books' or 'those books' regardless of gender. To force the this-versus-that split, French again clips -ci and -là onto the noun, as in ces jours-ci (these days).

Examples

"J'aime bien ces chaussures."

Natural Translation

I really like these shoes.

Literal Translation

I-like well these shoes
