[Perumanta]

I think Owakulukem pretty much explained everything. Kono, sono, and ano are followed by nouns, and kore, sore, and are sort of act as the pronouns "this, that, that over there".

The only other thing is the difference between kono/kore and sono/sore and ano/are. Kono/kore would be something you're holding or is in front of you or close to you. Sono/sore would be something near the person you're talking to or that they are holding. It could also be something that's a little bit away from both of you. Ano/are would be something much more far off from both of you.

At least, that's how I understand it. I might not have the nuances exactly right. Also, the above is an explanation for concrete objects. But you can also use some of these for abstract things, I believe.
