that fork

aquel tenedor

aquella horquilla

USAGE NOTE

Spanish has two translations for the English demonstrative adjective and pronoun "that": "aquel" and "ese." "Ese" refers to something that is not right by a point of reference, but is also not that distant. "Aquel" refers to something that is a great deal farther away from the point of reference.
