How does use これ、それ、あれ、どれandこの、その、あの、どの
 

I am beginning student of Janpanese. I don't know different これ、それ、あれ、どれandこの、その、あの. they are all meaning "this, that". please explain them thank you!

kore = this
sore = that
are = that over there
dore = which

kono = this one
sono = that one
ano = that one over there
dono = which one

thank you and another qustion: does noun follow them??

sure why not....
does a verb always follow a pronoun in english? >.>''''

ありがどうございます。

I loathe responding to romaji but I will as I do have problems with those translations.　Those Japanese words don't mean those English phrases.

この only means "this" and never mean "this one" and a noun MUST follow it. "This one" is already a noun phrase, isn't it?

So which is correct??

No noun follows 〜れ; these are pronouns. A noun follows 〜の; these are adjectives.

Example:
このペンです。It is this pen.
これです。It is this.

What do you mean? Everyone here has given you the same answer. And for future reference, Nagoyankee is Japanese; trust his answers.

ok thank you all

It's all related to where the physical object is located, in relation to the speaker and the listener. This may sound complicated, and at first very unlogical, but when you get the hang of it it's actually very convenient.

Imagine you going into a store and the cleark at the counter ask you what you'd like to buy. You point at the object right infront of you saying "これ" or you might point at an object near the cleark and say "それ" or at something far away from the both of you, then you'd have to use "あれ". It's the same story with　この、その、あの. As easy as that

You never put a noun in front of the -re form of the word. It is used when saying things like "This is ____". When using the -no form, you put a word in front of it, such as another poster said, "pen"... so it's like saying "This pen is ______".

He didn't ask the difference between こ〜・そ〜・あ〜・ど〜. He asked the difference between 〜の・〜れ.

haha xD
my apologies

How can you not have kana input in this day? XP, Vista, OSX Tiger on up, and many Linuces all have kana input built in.
