This and that. Now we are on the THAT
OVER THERE part. So this THAT refers to objects
not near the
listener or the speaker.
あれ
are
- when "that" is not connected to a noun
あれ は 何 です か？
are wa nan desu ka?
What is that over there?
あれ は ねこ です。
are wa neko desu.
That over there is a
cat.

HINT
And now recognize A's mean That over there |
|
あの
ano - When you put "that" before a noun, it changes to ano
あの
ねこ は ポチ です か？
ano
neko wa pochi desu ka?
Is that cat over
there, Pochi?.
いいえ。 あの くじら は ポチ です。
iie ano
kujira wa pochi desu.
No. That whale over
there is Pochi.

HINT
Again they ALL are used in the same way. |

Ano...
Can't "Ano" also be used as "Um"? (I wanted to ask this in the lesson about "Eeto", but I can't post comments in it.)
I've heard people use "Ano" like that before.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the comment! That is a different "ano" and is often pronounced longer like あのう. It is most often used as a polite way to get people's attention before speaking.
