Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew demonstrative pronoun "zu" would be "οὗτος" (houtos) in the New Testament, which also means "this" or "that." Usage: The Hebrew word "zu" is a demonstrative pronoun used to refer to something specific, often translated as "this" or "that" in English. It is used to point out or specify a particular object, person, or concept within a sentence.
