"Kony sȳz issa."

Translation: That one is good.

[MartaCoscu]

Why not "that is a good one"

[agnordby]

When should Kony translate to "this one" and when to "that one"? It seems totally random, and I get it wrong all the time.

[Balthers]

Kony is "that" or "that one". Kesy is "this" or "this one".

[aoxer]

kesy "this (inanimate)"
bisy "this (animate)"
kony "that (inanimate)"
bony "that (animate)"

[RheaTheSkyQueen]

So what's the difference betwean kony and bony?

[Yakusho1]

Kony is for unliving things (sword)
And bony is for living things (father, he/she)
