그것 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of 그것 as a combination of "그" (that) and "것" (thing); together they literally mean “that thing.”
• Visualize pointing at an object and saying “that thing” to help reinforce the connection.

Explanations:
• 그것 is a demonstrative pronoun used to refer to something previously mentioned or easily identifiable by both the speaker and listener.
• It can be translated as “that” or “that thing” depending on context.
• In written and spoken Korean, 그것 helps specify an object or idea without repeating its name.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• 그 – A shorter form used in context when the meaning is clear.
• 저것 – Used similarly but implies more distance between the speaker and the object.
• 이것 – Means “this thing,” serving a similar function for objects close to the speaker.

Alternate Meanings (including Slang):
• While its primary meaning is “that thing,” in some contexts 사람들은 그것을 무언가에 대한 모호한 표현이나 회피어로 사용할 수 있습니다. (People sometimes use 그것 as a vague or evasive term for something questionable or sensitive.)
• It can occasionally be used in humor or slang to indirectly reference taboo or awkward topics without naming them explicitly.
