Japanese

Noun
KORE (this)
(the object is in the speaker)

Example: it’s on the speaker (the goods)

Speaker Aida : Kore wa nan desuka? (what’s this?)
Listener Leaa : Sore wa tokei desu. (it’s a clock)
Tokei = a clock

SORE (that)

Example: it’s on the listener (the goods)

Speaker Aida : Sore wa nan desuka?(what’s that?)
Listener Leaa : Kore wa keitai denwa desu. (this is a mobile phone)
Keitai denwa = mobile phone

ARE (that)
 Example: items are not in both
Speaker Aida : Are wa nan desuka? (what’s that)
Listener Leaa : Are wa shinbun desu.. (it’s a newspaper)
Shinbun = newspaper

Conclusion
1. So if u wanna ask, but the “thing” or whatever is not in you, then you have to use the
word “SORE”
Then they will answer with KORE cuz the objects is in your friend
2. Now that the “thing” or whatever is in you, you have to ask with words “KORE”
3. You will ask or answer with “ARE” if the objects is not with you or your friend
So if someone asks with ARE, then you have to answer with ARE again
Example:
+what’s that over there?
-it’s a road board

Desuka = present /question (when you’re gonna ask, it’s mandatory to use the word )

Desu = statement (and when you’re gonna answer you must use this word)

addition

1) A: Leaa san wa gakusei desuka? (is Leaa a student?)

B : hai, Lea san wa gakusei desu.. (yes I’m a student)
2) A : Aida san mo gakusei desuka? (is Aida a student too?)
B : (+) hai, Aida san mo gakusei desu.. (yes, Aida is a student too)
Or (-) iie, Aida san wa gakusei ja arimasen (no, Aida is not a student)

Gakusei = student
MO is like WA but only applies to repeated questions

But why from san mo to san wa back? Nomor 2 (-)

Cuz the answer is wrong you can’t use the word MO again for the second question

Nomor 2 (-) why not use desu? Because when our wrong answer uses the word Ja Arimasen, it’s the
negative from of desu
