Explanation

The Japanese pronoun 'それ (それ)' means 'that'. It is used to refer to something that is close to the listener but not the speaker. It is often used in conversations to point out objects or ideas that have been previously mentioned or are within the listener's vicinity. For example: That is my book「それは私の本です」(それはわたしのほんです). I want that「それが欲しい」(それがほしい). It is important to note that 'それ' is used for objects that are neither too close to the speaker nor too far from both the speaker and the listener, making it a middle-distance demonstrative pronoun.
