The original form is 이것이 뭐에요. So if you cannot simplify it more as 이 뭐에요 ^^ Thank you. JaeHwi / KoreanClass101.com Hi Ada,

이거 뭐에요 is already simplified. The original form is 이것이 뭐에요.

So if you cannot simplify it more as 이 뭐에요 ^^

Thank you.

It's not dialect as far as I know. I think it would be mostly used in writing. '무엇' is the official word for what; when speaking people usually shorten is to 뭐. Also when speaking people often drop the '은' particle and shorten 것 to 거. So then the (still formal) sentence would be 이거 뭠니까? [igeo mueomnikka?] The translation of that sentence you found in the grammar point is wrong. If you look closely, you see the '꺼' in the end? That's a (very common) misspelled version of 거, which is short for 것 again :) So what it means is '저 that 거 thing 는 topic particle 누구 who 거 thing 예요 is' -> Who's thing is that? / Whose is that? :) When you pronounce it, you have to say 꺼 [kkeo] instead of 거 [keo]. That's why many people mistakenly write it like that. The only time when you can use 것 for people is when you are talking to your boyfriend or girlfriend and you say 'You're mine!' '너 내 꺼야' [neo nae kkeoya]. Again, in this situation most people would write 꺼 instead of 거, because it's very unofficial language anyway :) Hi Sasha,

"Who is that over there?" = Who ist that thing? Is it possible to say 'who' to a thing? In what cases? I read in the Grammar part to the lesson:
