these ones

The ones here

These ones is a demonstrative phrase pointing to specific items from a group, emphasizing selection or contrast: I don't want those—I want these ones.

The construction is natural in speech but sometimes criticized as redundant, since these alone can do the same work.

Common in British English and increasingly in American.
