Over There

Meaning

Over There

Word Type

noun, pronoun, こそあど word

Explanation

Remember how words beginning with あ show that whatever you're talking about is far away from both you and the person you're talking to? And how words ending in こ refer to places? So what do you think this means? That right, it's over there. Just watch out for the extra そ in this word. If you need help remembering this, imagine a sock oh (あそこ) so far over there. It's lucky that it's so far over there, because that sock stinks. You can still smell it, even though it's all the way over there in the distance.
