Translation: 이 학생

[Kim26034]

What's the difference between 이 and 이것 ?

[JuliaHorn4]

이 means this and 이것 means this one. 이것 Is a noun and so it's being compounded with particles. 이 Needs a noun that it refers to.

[trevorist90]

When do i use 이/그?

[Ash-Fred]

이 is this, and 그 is that when it is close to the speaker.

[haidarahhusain]

그 when it is close to the listener, away from the speaker. Cmiiw.

[Madhavi._.20]

Why is 이 학생입니다 wrong??

[racheliza711]

how do you know when it is close or far away from the speaker?

[domini.che]

If it is close to the speaker they will say 이. In that case you as the listener will say 그 about the same object

[carmenmsouza]

It's the same way in english. You say this, that, over there and etc based on where you and the object are

why isnt 학생이 an answer to select??
