Explanation
อัน functions here like “one” for an object, while โน้น indicates something at a distance. Together, they convey “the one over there.” A useful contrast is อันนี้ “this one,” อันนั้น “that one,” and อันโน้น “that one over there.” The expression can stand alone when the intended object is clear from the situation, a gesture, or the speaker’s gaze. In casual speech, the distance may be emphasized with the variant อันนู้น.
Usage
It is commonly used when choosing a product farther away in a store, identifying the more distant item in a group, or asking about an object visible at a distance. A pointing gesture, gaze, or shared context usually makes the referent clear.
Caution
It normally refers to an object, not a person; use คนโน้น for “that person over there.” When naming an object explicitly, use its appropriate classifier. For example, “that car over there” is รถคันโน้น, not normally รถอันโน้น.
