Plural pronoun in Puebla

Answer:

ESOS

Hint:

Think of how you might point to multiple items in Spanish when they're a bit farther away—this word is the masculine form.

Explanation:

This clue plays on Spanish grammar and geography. "Plural pronoun in Puebla" hints at a demonstrative pronoun used in Mexican Spanish—esos (meaning "those" for masculine plural objects). The mention of Puebla is a red herring, since the answer doesn’t relate to the city itself but simply uses it to suggest Spanish language context. The trick is recognizing esos fits both the grammatical clue and the plural requirement.
