몇 질문을 답해 주세요 ^^
한국어 읽기 책에 대화에는 이 문장이 됐어요:
(This sentence was said in a dialogue in a Korean reading book)
어, 이거 영미 씨 아니예요?
'이거'대신에 '이 사람'라는 말 했을 걸 그랬으까?
(Should he have said '이 사람' instead of '이 거'?)
I thought it was considered rude to refer to a person as 것.
------------
'그는 단 한 푼도 허비지않는다'
그 문장이 영어로 'He doesn't waste even a single penny'라는 뜻인지 아는데 푼은 'penny'라는 뜻 진짜예요? 한국에는 penny이 있나요? O_o
어리선은 질문인가요 ㅋㅋ
-----
'이 책에는 좋은 과일을 고르는 요령이 적혀 있다'
영어로는 A hint is written in this book that s/he chooses a good fruit이라는 뜻인가요? 아 이상해 ㅜ
----------마지막으로 *에휴*----
'세 살 버릇 여든까지 간다는 말 있다'
It is said that this habit goes from three to eighty years of age이라는 뜻?? 또 이상하죠 ㅎㅎ
고맙습니다~

I 100% agree with Gloups. He's got a good point.^^/
However, adding some more to his great reply,
"푼" used to be a monetary unit in the past, and in here it is used to mean "quite small amount of money"
As you mentioned, you should've said "이 사람" or "이 분"^^/
"이 게" would be acceptable if you are quite close to the listner who you are referring to, but I'd say "이 사람이 영미 너야?" or "이 사람이 영미씨 아니에요?(more polite)

(1) 거 can used colloquially to refer to people (이게 누구야?), it could be rude said to the wrong person...
(3) I think it shud be: In this book there s a trick as to how to chose a good fruit.
(4) 가다 can have the meaning of 'last, remain (time passing)' (cf. 오래 간다). So... the saying goes: a (bad) habit gained at the age of 3 remains till the end.
Please correct me if I am wrong... ;-)
