Domanda in primo piano

Inglese (Stati Uniti)

Depends on what you're referring to and when it happened relative to now. If it just happened, use 'that.' If it happened a longer time ago, use 'it.'

I would only say "that was wonderful" if something just happened and I was remarking about it.

Just ate a delicious dessert at dinner? You could say "that was wonderful." Did you just hear someone play a beautiful piece of music? You could say "that was wonderful."

Generally, if something has happened longer ago than immediately before, say "it was wonderful." At the end of a date night, "thanks for the evening. It was wonderful." Relaying to someone about your time spent traveling abroad. "It was wonderful."

If you're reminiscing with your friends about a great night out or a vacation together, you might say, at that time, directly referring to the experience, "that was wonderful," but you could also say "it was wonderful."

@originkim Both depend on location. It's similar to the difference between '그것'와 '이것.' You can use both interchangably in most cases when referring to something from moments ago.

However when referring to a past event, "It was wonderful" is used similarly to how 더라고 form is used.
