あのThat (over there)

それ refers to something closer to the listener than to the speaker, or something just mentioned, similar to 'that' in English. あの points to something far from both the speaker and listener, or something both people are aware of. あの must be used with a noun, like あの本 ('that book'), while それ can stand alone.

Both あれ and あの refer to something far from both the speaker and listener, or to something they both know. あれ is a standalone pronoun that means 'that' or 'that thing.' あの is a modifier that must be followed by a noun, like in あの本 ('that book'). In other words, あれ stands alone, while あの does not.

そこ refers to a place near the listener, similar to 'there' in English. あの, however, points to something distant from both speaker and listener or something familiar to both, like 'that.' Unlike そこ, あの always refers to objects or concepts and must directly precede a noun (e.g., あの本 = 'that book').

Both その and あの are used before nouns to express 'that,' referring to an object or concept away from the speaker. その points to something closer to the listener than the speaker, or something just mentioned. In contrast, あの refers to something far from both the speaker and listener, or something familiar to both but not close to either.

Both どの and あの are used before nouns. あの refers to something far from both the speaker and listener, or something familiar to both but not close, similar to 'that' in English. In contrast, どの is a question word meaning 'which' when there are three or more choices (e.g., どの色が好きですか？ = 'Which color do you like?').

あそこ refers directly to a place far from both the speaker and listener, physically or figuratively, similar to the English 'over there.' あの, however, must be followed by a noun and indicates something distant from both parties (e.g., あの本 = 'that book [over there]'). In other words, both あそこ and あの point to things far away, but differ structurally in their usage.

Both この and あの can be used before nouns to describe their position relative to the speaker, similar to 'this' and 'that' in English. The difference lies in perspective: この refers to something close to the speaker (like 'this'), while あの refers to something far from both the speaker and listener, or something known to both (like 'that').

ここ refers to a location close to the speaker or to a place the speaker points to, similar to 'here' in English. あの refers to something far from both the speaker and listener, or something they both know, similar to 'that' in English. Unlike ここ, あの is used for objects or concepts and must directly precede a noun (e.g., あの本 = 'that book').
