"This apple"

Translation: 이 사과

[pbnjaee]

How do I know when to use 이 vs 이것?

[deactivated user]

이 means "this" on it's own.
것 means "thing"
Putting them together (이것) means "this thing". If you just want to say "this apple", it's 이 사과. But if you want to say "this [thing] is an apple", it's 이것은 사과예요 or 이것은 사과입니다

[ryubean]

이 goes in front of nouns, 이것 means just 'this'
