When we refer to the main expressions to call someone's attention, the different uses of the "y" marker should be kept in mind. Take into account these three different uses:

1. As a marker when we address another person. Example: Uyariand turay Juan (listen brother Juan).
2. As the infinitive marker. For example: pukllaand – to play, yachachiand – to teach, llan’kaand – to work.
3. As a first person possessive. For example: Ñañachaand – my sister, turachay – my brother.

In the same way, in this unit we will address the demonstrative pronouns and their derivations for each personal pronoun that is first, second, and third person, for example: kay, chay, waq, haqay, kaykuna, chaykuna, waqkuna, haqaykuna.

Note: Remember the plural marker «kuna» (see Yachana 3 for reference), for example:

Only one house is huq wasi.
More than one house is wasikuna.
