The word fulfills the structural role of pointing to an object, person, or situation located in the immediate spatial or temporal proximity of the speaker, lending a powerful touch of authentic rural oral expression and historical flavor to literary texts or folklore collections.
• This one — A regional and popular variant with an emphatic suffix of the modern demonstrative pronoun 'acesta' (this one); it is frequently employed in the spoken language and specific dialects of the northern half of the Romanian linguistic territory. The word serves structurally to replace or determine a noun, pointing with precision to an object or living being located very close to the speaker, adding a powerful character of spontaneous oral expression and rural folklore expressiveness to the sentence.
