Ive been learning these pronouns and i think i have a way of remembering when to use each one but are the meanings in the brackets correct:

bu -- this (something in hands/in reaching distance)
su -- that (between this and that - something in site)
that -- o (something not in site)
these -- bunlar (things in hand/in reach)
those -- sunlar (between this and that - things in sight)
those -- onlar (things not in sight)

* sorry i cant use the turkish letters but i am on my phones internet and the letters below the box dont work on my phone

Yes, it sounds right to me and I would have used those definitons

However, becareful of the way you have switched "o - that".
The whole way though the list have have used turkish - english
Then you have switched it to "english - turkish"

I know what your thinking: "seriously, does she really have to bring that up?"

But I have did it a few times and honestly it can get you so mixed up. Ive had to tear up sheets after sheets of paper for making that silly little mistake.
