MANNAM! This & That? 이거 & 그거 & 저거?

MANNAM! This & That? 이거 & 그거 & 저거?

We usually use word ‘this & that’ instead of saying all the objects.

Same as Korean. However, Koreans use three different pointing words.

If you know them, it will help you to understand more than before.

*In this case, let’s say there are least two people speaking

#이(i) N = This N (Object is nearby the speaker)

#그(geu) N = That N(Object is nearby the listener)

#저(jeo) N = That N(Object is far from both speaker and listener)

#것/거(geot,geo) = Thing / 사람(saram) = Person / 곳(got) = Place

*You add 이/그/저+Noun to point something

Ex) 이 곳은 만남이에요 : This place is MANNAM

Ex) 그 것은 우리거예요 : That is our’s

Ex) 저 사람은 우리 친구예요 : That person is our friend

#Tip!

이거/그거/저거 뭐예요? (igeo/geugeo/jeogeo meo yeyo)

=What is this/that?
