Hi everyone, it's your senpai

Today I also decided to write about a group of words, instead of just one. NOW BEFORE YOU CLICK OFF, these words have only one set meaning each, no kanji and only take about 2 sentences worth of reading to understand. So, let's start off with them
The hiragana characters are こ = ko, そ = so, あ = a
In general, these words mean "here," "there," and "over there" respectively, in english
Now let's go over the meaning one by one
ここ means here. It refers to some place/ area that is close to the person who is speaking

in this gif, if the person is the speaker and if he is pointing down to somehwere close to him, he would refer to that place as "ここ • ko ko" meaning "here, near me"
そこ means there. It refers to a place/area that is near the the person who is listening to the person who is speaking.

in this gif, if subaru(the guy) is the speaker and he refers to a place/area near emilia(the girl), then he would say "そこ • soko" meaning 'there, near you"
あそこmeans over there. it refers to a place/area far away from both speaker and listener.

In this gif, if the two people are the speaker and listener, then the person pointing to a place/area far from both of them would refer to that place as "あそこ • a so ko" meaning "that place over there"
I decided to go with these words today cuz they are very similar to yesterday's words. The main difference is;
ここ•koko, そこ•soko, あそこ•asoko refer to an area/a place relative to the speaker and listener, while これ•kore, それ•sore, あれ •are refer to an object/thing relative to the speaker and listener.
If you have any questions, please ask me and I will try my best to explain😊
I would really appreciate advice on how to make these posts better. Please do try to be a little specific🙏😊
