Whats the difference between これ and この

[Keliali]

これ means "this" as a noun while この means "this" as an adjective

[trishka9]

To expand on what keliali said, これ replaces the noun to which it refers, whereas この will be followed by the noun it modifies.

[Liquorish]

why is が not accepted?

[jd1251]

Can you please accept the kanji here? Someone alerted you to this three months ago...

[trishka9]

Duo programmers don't read these discussion boards. If you want an answer accepted, you have to report it.
