are this kind

/ɑː ðɪs kaɪnd/

An informal grammatical phrase used to refer to a specific category or type of person, thing, or situation, typically used when pointing out or discussing items nearby or just mentioned.

Plants are this kind of organism that produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Etymology

The phrase combines the linking verb 'are' (from Old English 'earon'), the demonstrative adjective 'this' (from Old English 'þis'), and the noun 'kind' (from Old English 'gecynd' meaning 'nature, sort, species'). It developed as a common colloquial way to categorize items in modern English.
