In English, "관형사" translates to a "modifier" or "a determiner." 이 is placed before nouns within reaching distance to indicate that one is talking about "this" specific thing. For example: "이 사람" = "this person"
+It is easy to distinguish between a determiner and an adjective in Korean. Although both placed before nouns to "describe" them, the dictionary (ordinary) form of an adjective always ends in ~다 and must change in order to describe them. For example, 예쁘다 changes to 예쁜 when placed before a noun to describe it (See Lesson 3 for more information). Determiners keep their original form when placed before a noun. This might be too much grammar for you at this point, but make a note of it.
+ examples: + - ko: "**이** 차는 너무 비싸요" + en: "**This** car is too expensive" + - ko: "**이** 방은 넓습니다" + en: "**This** room is big/wide" + - ko: 저는 **이** 영화를 더 이상 보고 싶지 않아요 + en: I don't want to watch **this** movie anymore + - ko: "**이** 고기는 돼지고기입니다" + en: "**This** meat is pork" + - ko: "**이** 사람은 저의 누나예요" + en: "**This** (person) is my sister" + + - ko: 그 + audio: https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/wLesson-1-8.mp3 + en: that + notes: | +그 is another example of a "관형사" in Korean. 그 is placed before nouns that are being referred to from context or a previous sentence. For example, if your father is talking about a specific person, you can refer to "that person" by saying "그 사람."
+See more information about 관형사 in my description of "이" above.
+ examples: + - ko: "**그** 남자는 저의 아버지예요" + en: "**That** man is my father" + - ko: "**그** 여자는 나랑 결혼하고 싶었어요" + en: "**That** girl wanted to marry me" + - ko: 저는 **그** 책을 원해요 + en: I want **that** book + - ko: "**그** 병원은 멉니다" + en: "**That** hospital is far" + - ko: "**그** 여자의 머리카락은 깁니다" + en: "**That** girls hair is long" + + - ko: 저 + audio: https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/wLesson-1-10.mp3 + en: that (when something is far away) + notes: | +저 is another example of a "관형사" in Korean. 저 is placed before nouns that are far away (not within reach). For example, if you want to refer to the person across the street, you can refer to "that person" by saying "저 사람."
+그 and 저 both translate to "that." This often causes confusion for English speakers.
+Also notice that "저" has more than one meaning. Earlier, you saw that "저" means "I/me." Welcome to the world of Korean! Where often times one word has more than one meaning.
+See more information about 관형사 in my description of "이" above.

+것 can be shortened to 거. 것이 can be shortened to 게

+이것 is often shortened to 이거 in speech.
+When 이, 그 or 저 are placed before "것," the result is a compound word. Therefore, when placing "것" after 이, 그 or 저, there should not be a space between the two.
+Although it can be translated as "this thing," 이것 itself is a pronoun and can be simplified to translate to "this." For more information, see the explanation in Lesson 1.
+ examples: + - ko: "**이것**은 뭐야?" + en: What is **this (thing)**? + - ko: "**이것**은 너무 작은가요?" + en: Is **this (thing)** too small? + - ko: "**이것**은 여권이야" + en: "**This (thing)** is a passport" + - ko: "**이것**이 더 좋아요" + en: "**This (thing)** is better" + - ko: "**이것**을 보셔요" + en: Look at **this (thing)** + - ko: "**이것**을 먹어 봐!" + en: Eat **this (thing)**!

+선생님 (or 쌤) is often used to broadly refer to anybody in any form of a teaching position, or anybody who works at any position in a school. For example, the maintenance people who work at a school would be referred to as "선생님" within the school.
