일기 십이 - 이거 방이 예뻐요.
Today, I learned some adjectives. It's easy to use them in sentences. The thing that confused me is the word '이거'.
'이거' means 'this'. but there is a word that looks similar, '이것'. And then I saw a sentence, '이건 누구 방이에요?', which means 'whose room is this?'.
'이거', '이것' and '이건'. They all mean 'this' in the dictionary. But what are the differences? how do I use them correctly?

일기 십이(열둘) - 이거 방이 예뻐요.
십이 means 12 so it cannot be told it is wrong but usually, In Korean, when people count some real obejcts, people use '하나', '둘', '셋', '넷', '다섯', '여섯', '일곱', '여덟', '아홉', '열'. instead of using '일', '이', '삼', '사', '오', '육', '칠', '팔', '구', '십'. the second way is more like a way to express abstract numbers in math, time, date or currency.
Also, the exact meaning of '이거' is 'this thing' so you shoud omit '거' because there is '방'. You don't have to say twice 'thing' and 'room'.

Usually I use '이거' but I think all that similar
이건 누구방이에요? = 이거 누구방이에요? = 이것은 누구방이에요?
이건 누구꺼야? = 이거 누구꺼야? = 이것은 누구까야
이건 뭐야? = 이거 뭐야? = 이것은 뭐야?

so at what real life situation, you'll use '이거' or '이것'?

Basically, '이거', '이것' have totally the same meaning . However, when you use one of them, you should take care of using postposition words. What I mean is '이거' needs '는'(is) or '를'(the objective) and '이것' needs '은'(is) or '을'(the objective). Also, there are another example. '이거랑', '이것이랑' (with, and).
When it comes to '이건', it is totally same with '이거는'(this is) so when you use that, you should not use any other postposition word.
My English is soooo bad though, I wish this would be helpful !
