L31 Say “This” and “That” in Japanese - これ, それ, あれVS. この, その, あの

I know. There's always seems to be some slight confustion about "sore" and "are". I use sore as "it" and "are" as "that" (over there, further away). But some people differ.

they should of gone over koitsu, soitsu, aitsu and even yatsu. as well. i wonder why they left that out.

Genki probably doesn’t mention those words at this point because they don’t mean “this” or “that” and aren’t useful words for beginners to know. They’re also typically used in impolite conversation and the point of Genki is to teach you to get along with people, not offend them 😂😂
