Udmurt has the following demonstratives: ta ’this’, so ’that’, tače ’like this, such’, syče ’like that, such’, tamynda ’this many’, somynda ’that many’ (Tarakanov 2011: 125). In adnominal cases the demonstratives ta ’this’, so ’that’, tače ’like this, such’, syče ’like that, such’ have the determinative suffix -iz, -jez (taiz, soiz, tačejez, syčejez) in singular, and -yz in plural (taosyz, soosyz, tačeosyz, syčeosyz) and agree in number and case with the head noun (1) (Tarakanov 2011: 127). In the absence of the determinative suffix there is no number and case concord (2)–(3).
