معنی
Directing someone's attention to an object further away.
زمینه فرهنگی
Pointing with the index finger at elders is a major taboo. When using '저것 좀 봐요' to point out something near an elderly person, use a polite head nod or an open hand. The word '좀' reflects the 'Chemyeon' (face) culture, where making direct demands is avoided to keep social interactions smooth. In K-Dramas, this phrase is often used as a 'meet-cute' device where two characters notice the same distant object (like a shooting star). Public etiquette in Korea discourages loud shouting. When saying '저것 좀 봐요' in public, it is usually said in a controlled, yet excited tone.
Use '저거' for speed
In 90% of real conversations, Koreans say '저거' instead of '저것'. It sounds much more natural.
Don't point at people
Using '저것' for a person is like calling them 'that thing'. Use '저 분' or '저 사람'.
