LEVEL 1 LESSON 7

In this lesson, you can learn how to say “this” “that” and “it” in Korean.

In English, the words “this” and “that” can be used both on their own and to modify words.

Example)

In English you can say “This is my car.” and also “This car is mine.” So the word “this” here can

be used as a pronoun and also as a word that modifies “car.”

In Korean, however, words for “this” as a modifier and “this” as “this item here” or “this thing

here” are strictly distinguished, and the same is true for “that” as well.

이 [i] = this (near you)

그 [geu] = the / that (near the other person)

저 [jeo] = that (over there)

THIS

YOU.

THIS

YOUR

FRIEND.

그 [geu] the, that

Generally, when you are referring to

something farther away from you and

closer to the other person you are talk-

ing to, you use the word 그 [geu].

저 [ jeo] that, over there

이 [i] this

Generally, when you are referring to some-

thing far away from both you and the other

person you are talking with, you use the

word 저 [ jeo].

Yes, this 저 has

the pronoun-

ciation as the

word for “I” in

formal Korean.

Generally, when you are referring

to something near yourself , you

use the word 이 [i].

LEVEL 1 LESSON 7

Since 이, 그, and 저 in Korean can only work as modifiers, when you want to say ‘this’ ‘that’ or

‘it’ as pronouns, you have to add the word 거 [geo] or 것 [geot] after these words.

거 [geo] = 것 [geot] = thing, item, stuff, fact

So...

이 [i] = this

이 + 것 = 이것 [i-geot] or 이거 [i-geo] = this thing, this item, this one

그 [geu] = the, that

그 + 것 = 그것 [geu-geot] or 그거 [geu-geo] = the thing, the item, that one, it

저 [jeo] = the, that, that ... over there

저 + 것 = 저것 [geu-geot] or 저거 [geu-geo] = that thing over there

You can form various expressions using 이, 그, or 저 along with other words.

Example)

사람 [sa-ram] means a person

이 사람 [i sa-ram] = this person, this man here, this lady here, he, she

그 사람 [geu sa-ram] = the person, that person, he, she

저 사람 [jeo sa-ram] = that person over there, he, she
