"The thing is small."

Translation: 물건이 작습니다.

[Ash-Fred]

This sentence can mean exactly what you are thinking. Yes, you say this when you just got something you ordered from eBay and it's smaller than what you expected.

[Macho.gurl]

That's what she said

Is there any special of pronouncing "The thing" so it doesnt exactly sound like "Water"

[fjord_grub]

"thing" is 물건 while "water" is just 물 so you shouldnt have any trouble

物件이 작습니다

[Eugine426899]

But the balls are big

[RebekahWeb12]

Why do the himts include 좁습니다 when it then says that is a typo?

[Ash-Fred]

좁습니다 also means to be small but it is used for space.

[xsdgdsx]

Could someone break down "물건이"? For instance, isn't "건" short for "것은", which already has the topic particle?

[Ash-Fred]

물건 means a thing as a whole.

[chango_peludo]

물 is the most basic word for a "thing" so yeah, attaching "것은" means, "thing that is just a thing"

[Kai460548]

im-

[SulleyWazowski]

I feel bad for person with small thing :(

[iyah_jk]

uh-huh yes that's what u think it is

[Shayan979248]

So can I use 그것 instead of 물건?
It is accepted but says it has typo. In general sometimes alternative answers are marked as typos, why?

[Ash-Fred]

Probably you really had a typo. I just checked "그것이 작습니다." and it was accepted without a typo.

[Silverita91]

But the balls are big :/
