цих
"Цих" means "these" in English.
In a sentence
Я бачив цих людей учора.
I saw these people yesterday.
In this sentence, 'цих' is the genitive plural form of 'цей' (this) and describes which people the speaker is referring to.
Ми розмовляли про цих друзів.
We talked about these friends.
Here, 'цих' again serves as the genitive plural form and is used as the object of the preposition 'про' (about) to specify the individuals discussed.

Help these children find the toys.
In this context, 'цих' is combined with 'дітям' in the dative case to indicate whom the action of helping is directed towards.
