That, in Spanish

Answer:

ESO

Hint:

Think of how you’d point at something far away while speaking Spanish.

Explanation:

The clue asks for the Spanish word for "that," which is a common demonstrative pronoun. In Spanish, "eso" means "that" when referring to something neutral or previously mentioned, like "that thing" or "that idea." It’s a straightforward translation with no wordplay—just a direct match between the English and Spanish words. If you’ve heard phrases like "¿Qué es eso?" ("What is that?"), you’ve already encountered it.
