How would you say "what" and "what is that" in Korean?
Are there multiple ways to say these phrases?

Question

Answer

What is that?

if that thing is closer to the listener: 그게 뭐예요?

if that thing is away both from speaker and listener: 저게 뭐예요?

Answer

What is 뭐 (mwo) and "What Is That?" is 뭐에요 (mwo-ye-yo). I think this is correct, though I am not a native speaker, so I could be wrong. I hope this helps though:)
