How to Say ‘That woman’ in Japanese
あの女の人
ano onna no hito
[ah-noh ohn-nah no hee-toh]
💬 Usage Tip: あの means "that one over there", for something far from both you and the listener. この is for things near you, and その is for things near the listener.
🇯🇵 In Japan: Pointing a finger at a person is considered a bit rude, so people tend to gesture with an open hand or just say あの女の人.
