सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Using '아니에요' is a key part of 'Gyeom-yang' (humility). When complimented, Koreans rarely say 'Thank you' immediately; they say '아니에요' to downplay their achievement. In Korean companies, correcting a superior with '이거 아니에요' can be seen as too blunt. Subordinates often use '제 생각에는 조금 다른 것 같습니다' (In my opinion, it seems a bit different). Korean customers are generally polite but firm. Using '이거 아니에요' at a restaurant is standard, but adding '죄송한데' (I'm sorry, but...) at the beginning makes it much smoother. In KakaoTalk, '이거 아니에요' is often shortened to '이거 아님' or 'ㄴㄴ' among friends to save time and sound cool.

Yes! If you are holding the object or pointing at it, just saying '아니에요' is perfectly natural.

'이거' is 'this thing'. '이게' is 'this thing [as the subject]'. In this phrase, they are interchangeable, but '이게' is slightly more emphatic.

No, it's polite because of the '-에요' ending. However, your tone of voice matters. Say it gently!

Use the past tense: '이거 아니었어요' (Igeo anieosseoyo).

Yes, but use '이분' (this person) instead of '이거' (this thing). '이분 아니에요' means 'It's not this person.'
