저렇다
When you want to describe something as being 'like that' when it's far from both you and the person you're talking to, you use 저렇다. Think of it like pointing to something distant and saying 'it's like that over there.' It's a useful word for describing things that are not close to either speaker.
When you're talking about something that's far away from both you and the person you're speaking to, you use 저렇다. Think of it like saying 'that way over there' or 'like that over there.' It describes a state or quality of something distant from both speakers.
You might use it to describe an object, a situation, or an action that is not close to either of you. For example, if you and a friend are looking at a distant mountain, you might say, 'The mountain is like that,' using 저렇다 to refer to its appearance or state.
When we want to describe something as being 'like that' when it's far from both the speaker and the listener, we use 저렇다. This is similar to 'that' in English, but specifically indicates distance from everyone involved in the conversation. For example, if you and your friend are looking at a distant building and you want to say 'That building is like that,' you would use 저렇다 to describe it. It's often used when pointing out something generally observable but not immediately near either person. Think of it as referring to something in a general 'over there' sense.
When we want to describe something as being 'like that' when it's far from both the speaker and the listener, we use 저렇다. This is similar to 'that' in English, but specifically indicates distance from everyone in the conversation. Think of it as pointing to something way over there. You'll often hear it in descriptive sentences to set a scene or describe an object's quality when it's not close to you. Mastering 저렇다 will help you distinguish distances more accurately in your Korean descriptions.
When using 저렇다, it indicates something that is far away from both the speaker and the listener. While 비슷하다 can be used in a similar context, 저렇다 is often used to describe something that is not only physically distant but also conceptually or emotionally removed. For instance, if you're discussing a situation that neither you nor your friend are directly involved in, you might say, “그 상황은 저래요” (That situation is like that, referring to something distant from both parties). This word is crucial for expressing distance in descriptions and observations.
When we want to say something is 'like that,' referring to something far away from both the speaker and the listener, we use 저렇다. This adjective describes a state or quality, indicating that something resembles a previously mentioned or understood situation or characteristic that is spatially distant from both parties.
It's similar in concept to 'that way' or 'like that' in English, specifically for things further afield.
Think of it as pointing out something removed from your immediate vicinity and also from the person you're talking to.
For example, if you see a beautiful mountain far away, you might say, "저렇다!" to describe its distant beauty.

§ Understanding 저렇다
The Korean adjective 저렇다 is part of a useful set of demonstrative adjectives that indicate distance. Think of it as 'that way' or 'like that' when the thing you're talking about is far from both you and the person you're speaking to. It's similar to 'that' in English, but specifically for something you're pointing out at a distance.
§ Basic Conjugation of 저렇다
Like all Korean adjectives, 저렇다 changes its form depending on the politeness level and tense. Here are some common conjugations you'll use:
- Present Tense (Plain): 저렇다 (저렇습니다, 저래요)
- Past Tense (Plain): 저랬다 (저랬습니다, 저랬어요)
- Future Tense (Plain): 저럴 것이다 (저럴 것입니다, 저럴 거예요)
- Attributive Form (modifying a noun): 저런 (e.g., 저런 사람 - that kind of person)
§ Using 저렇다 in Sentences
Let's look at how to use 저렇다 in practical situations. It often describes the state or characteristic of something distant.
날씨가 저래요. (The weather is like that [over there].)
Here, '저래요' is the polite present tense form of 저렇다. You might say this when observing distant weather, perhaps a storm far away, or commenting on the climate of another region.
그 사람은 항상 저렇게 말해요. (That person always talks like that [in a way visible to both of us, but distant].)
In this example, 저렇게 is the adverbial form, meaning 'in such a way' or 'like that'. It describes how the person speaks, referring to a manner that is known or observed but not immediately present to the conversation.
저런 집은 너무 비싸요. (That kind of house [far away] is too expensive.)
Here, 저런 is the attributive form, used to modify the noun '집' (house). It specifies 'that kind of house' referring to a house that is geographically distant or an example of a type of house that is not close to the speaker or listener.
§ Common Phrases with 저렇다
You'll often hear 저렇다 in expressions like:
- 저렇군요! (I see, it's like that [far away]!) - A realization about a distant situation.
- 저럴 줄 몰랐어요. (I didn't know it would be like that [far away].) - Expressing surprise about a distant outcome.
사과 가격이 저렇게 비싸면 못 사겠어요. (If apple prices are like that [far away from what I'd expect/experience], I can't buy them.)
This sentence uses 저렇게 to refer to a price that is perhaps surprisingly high or refers to a price seen at another store or location. The 'far from both' meaning here extends to 'far from what I consider normal or acceptable'.
옛날에는 저랬어요. (It was like that in the old days [a time far from now].)
Here, 저랬어요 (past tense polite form) refers to a situation in the past, emphasizing its distance from the present time. It's a common way to talk about how things 'used to be'.
§ Practice Makes Perfect
The best way to get comfortable with 저렇다 is to use it. Try to describe things you see in the distance, or talk about past events, or even refer to something you've both seen or heard about that isn't currently around you. The more you use it, the more natural it will become.
Many Korean learners find words like 저렇다 (jeoreota) a bit tricky. It’s part of a set of demonstratives (이렇다, 그렇다, 저렇다) that indicate how far something is. 저렇다 means 'to be like that,' referring to something far from both the speaker and the listener. Let's look at some common errors and how to fix them.
§ Confusing 저렇다 with 그렇다
This is probably the most frequent mistake. Both 그렇다 (geureota) and 저렇다 mean 'to be like that,' but their spatial references are different.
- DEFINITION
- 그렇다 (geureota): To be like that (far from the speaker, near the listener, or generally understood).
- DEFINITION
- 저렇다 (jeoreota): To be like that (far from both the speaker and the listener).
If you're talking about something only far from you, but close to the person you're speaking to, use 그렇다. If it's far from both of you, use 저렇다.
네가 말한 그 식당은 저렇다고 들었어. (I heard that restaurant you mentioned is like that [far away from both of us]).
네 생각은 그렇다고 이해했어. (I understand your thought is like that [close to listener/generally understood]).
§ Incorrectly Modifying Nouns with 저렇다
Remember that 저렇다 is an adjective. When you want to modify a noun, you need to change its form. The correct form to modify a noun is 저러한 or 저런.
Mistake: Saying '저렇다 사람' (incorrect).
Correct:
저런 사람은 처음 봤어요. (I've never seen such a person [like that, far away from both of us in terms of description] before).
저러한 is more formal, while 저런 is more common in daily conversation.
§ Using 저렇다 in the Wrong Context (Abstract vs. Physical Distance)
While 저렇다 often refers to physical distance, it can also describe abstract situations or qualities that are 'distant' or 'removed' from the current context of the conversation for both parties. However, learners sometimes over-apply it to situations where 그렇다 would be more natural for a generally understood 'like that.'
For example, if you're discussing a common opinion or a widely known fact, 그렇다 is usually the better choice for 'that's how it is,' even if it's not physically present.
인생은 원래 그렇다. (Life is like that [generally accepted truth]).
Using 저렇다 here would sound unnatural because 'life's nature' isn't something physically or conceptually distant from both speakers in an abstract sense; it's a shared understanding.
§ Forgetting Conjugation Rules
Like all Korean adjectives, 저렇다 needs to be conjugated depending on the politeness level and tense. Common mistakes include using the base form incorrectly in sentences.
- Present formal polite: 저렇습니다
- Present informal polite: 저래요
- Past tense: 저랬어요/저랬습니다
- Future tense/conjecture: 저럴 거예요/저럴 겁니다
저 멀리 보이는 풍경이 저래요. (The scenery visible far away is like that).
그때 상황은 저랬어요. (The situation at that time was like that [far removed in time]).
§ Omitting Context
While native speakers might omit the full context when using 저렇다, learners should be careful. Since 저렇다 refers to something far from both people, the listener needs to understand what 'that' refers to. If the context isn't clear, the sentence can be confusing.
Always make sure the 'that' is understood, either through previous discussion or by pointing it out.
By being mindful of these common pitfalls, you can use 저렇다 more accurately and naturally in your Korean conversations. Keep practicing the difference between 이렇다, 그렇다, and 저렇다, and you'll master them in no time!
Let's dive into 저렇다 (jeoreota), an adjective that means 'to be like that' when the subject is far away from both the speaker and the listener. It's an important word to understand in Korean because it's part of a set of demonstrative adjectives that depend on distance and perspective.
§ What 저렇다 Means
- DEFINITION
- To be like that (far from both).
Think of 저렇다 as describing something or someone that is 'over there' and acting in a certain way, or possessing certain qualities, that are 'like that'. It's similar to how we might point and say 'that's how it is' in English, but with an emphasis on distance from both parties in the conversation.
그는 저렇게 생겼어요. (He looks like that [over there].)
날씨가 저렇게 좋을 수가! (The weather can be that good [over there]!)
§ Conjugation Basics
Like many Korean adjectives, 저렇다 changes its form depending on how it's used in a sentence. The most common forms you'll encounter are:
- 저렇다 (jeoreota): The dictionary form.
- 저렇게 (jeoreoke): Adverbial form, meaning 'like that' or 'in that way'. This is very common.
- 저런 (jeoreon): Adnominal form, used to describe a noun, meaning 'such a' or 'that kind of'.
- 저랬다 (jeoraetda): Past tense, meaning 'was like that'.
§ 저렇다 vs. 이렇다 and 그렇다
This is where things get really useful. 저렇다 is part of a trio of demonstrative adjectives that express proximity. Understanding the differences is key to sounding natural in Korean.
- 이렇다 (ireota): 'To be like this' (close to the speaker).
- 그렇다 (geureota): 'To be like that' (close to the listener, or previously mentioned).
- 저렇다 (jeoreota): 'To be like that' (far from both the speaker and the listener).
Let's look at examples to clarify:
음식이 이렇다. (The food is like this [speaker holding or pointing to food].)
음식이 그렇다. (The food is like that [listener holding or pointing to food, or food previously discussed].)
음식이 저렇다. (The food is like that [food is far from both].)
§ Practical Usage Scenarios
You'll often hear and use 저렇다 when talking about something you and your conversation partner can both see but is not physically close to either of you. It's also used to refer to a situation or manner that is distant or generally known, but not immediately present in the conversation.
- Describing a distant scene: Imagine you and a friend are looking out a window at a distant mountain. You might say, "산이 저렇게 높아요!" (The mountain is that high [over there]!).
- Referring to someone's behavior from afar: If you're observing someone across a room, you could comment, "그 사람은 항상 저렇게 행동해요." (That person always acts like that [over there].).
- Talking about a general, known truth that is removed from the immediate situation: While less common than 그렇다 for this, you might use it if the 'truth' feels very distant or broad.
Mastering 저렇다 and its siblings 이렇다 and 그렇다 will significantly improve your ability to describe situations and objects accurately in Korean, adding nuance to your conversations. Practice using them in different contexts to get a feel for their subtle distinctions.

Basic Meaning of 저렇다
저렇다 (jeoreota) means 'to be like that' or 'to be such', specifically referring to something that is far from both the speaker and the listener. Think of it as 'that way over there'.
Connecting to 이것, 그것, 저것
You can understand 저렇다 better by comparing it to other demonstratives: 이렇다 (to be like this - near speaker), 그렇다 (to be like that - near listener), and 저렇다 (to be like that - far from both).
Using 저렇게 with Verbs
When you want to describe how an action is performed, you can use the adverbial form 저렇게. For example, '저렇게 하세요' means 'Do it like that (over there)'.
Using 저런 with Nouns
To modify a noun, use the adjectival form 저런. For instance, '저런 사람' means 'that kind of person (over there)'.
Common Sentence Structures
저렇다 often appears in sentences like '저렇습니다' (It is like that) or '저렇지 않아요' (It is not like that). Pay attention to the politeness levels.
Distinguishing from 그렇다
The key difference between 저렇다 and 그렇다 is distance. 그렇다 is 'like that' (near listener), while 저렇다 is 'like that' (far from both). Practice with physical objects to internalize this.
Practice with Examples
The best way to learn is by seeing it in context. Read and repeat these examples:
• 저 사람은 저렇습니다. (That person is like that over there.)

Using in Questions
You can also use 저렇다 in questions. For example, '저렇습니까?' asks 'Is it like that (over there)?' or 'Is that how it is (over there)?' This is useful for confirming information.
Avoid Direct English Translation
While 'to be like that' is a good start, remember that the spatial context (far from both) is crucial. Don't just translate word-for-word, understand the nuance of distance.
Formal and Informal Use
In formal settings, you'll hear '저렇습니다'. In informal speech, '저래' is common. Be aware of the different conjugations based on politeness and formality.
