eso

English translation of eso

that

In Spanish, 'eso' is used to represent something that is not near the speaker but not as removed as something that might be referenced using 'aquellos' or 'aquellas'. It is a demonstrative pronoun, acting not only as a pointer but as a noun replacement to avoid redundancy or over-specification. However, 'eso' is also used in an idiomatic or abstract sense to mean 'the thing is,' or 'that's the problem,' amongst other things.
