                                                  Ko-so-a-do words (also known as "demonstrative words") are words that indicate what you are talking about. In Japanese, there are three main categories ("this," "that," and "that over there") and one category for questions. 

                              The prefix tells us a location:
 • ko (こ) "here," "near"
 • so (そ) "there," "not far off"
 • a (あ) "there," "at a distance"
 • do (ど) [not location but a question marker]
The following words are stand-alone and cannot be followed by a noun.
