The present article describes the origin of Livonian demonstratives and focuses on demonstrative proadjectives and their use. Utilising example sentences from the Livonian-Estonian-Latvian Dictionary (Viitso, Ernštreits 2012), this study analyses the morphosyntactic use of demonstrative proadjectives and also makes observations on their semantic functions.
