wait i made a mistake. kore means this and koko means here. i got confused- nevermind. ignore this
You are smart, i have a problem with it too.;)
the re ending refers to objects and the ko ending refers to location- nvm I just read the other comments
you mean kore and kono?
Both ‘kono’ and ‘kore’ have the same meaning in English. So if ‘kono’ means ‘this’ and ‘kore’ means this, what is the difference in their uses? Good question! The confusion comes from the fact that in English, the same word ‘this’ is being used in 2 grammatically different sentences. i.e.‘This is a student’ and ‘This student is pretty’.
kore = pronoun (standalone subject), kono = adjective (needs a noun next to it)- Both are part of the ko-so-a-do family (to mark distance and question) (kono, sono, ano, dono - kore, sore, are, dore)
