I was just looking at the very first chapter of the old "Learn Hungarian" course, and I came across a demonstrative construction I'm not sure about. The chapter introduces some very basic sentences of the form.
1. Mi ez? Ez a szek - What is this? This is the chair. 2. Mi az? Az az ablak. - What it that ? That is the window. In the second example the first Az is the demonstrative pronoun, while the second is the definite article used with an initial vowel. However, I'm not sure about the following, A tábla ez? - Is this the blackboard ? Nem. Ez nem az. - No. It isn't\This is not it. (Is the az the demonstrative pronoun?) Also, Az óra az ? - Is that the clock ? Igen. Az az. Yes. It is\That is it. (Are both the az demonstratives, or is one the definite article ?)

In the last sentence you wrote, I believe you could call both those demonstratives.
