あの (ano) - that
--- Notes ---
Both あの and その can be used with the meaning ‘that ~’ when an
item you are referring to is not in sight. あの is used when both the
speaker and the hearer are (or are assumed to be) familiar with a person or
thing in question.
ex: ano kanojou no namae wa yumi da.
trans: that girl's name is yumi.
--- Examples ---
Sorosoro ano densha ga demasu.
The train over there is almost leaving.
Watashi wa ano kuruma ga suki desu.
I like that car over there.
Ano hito wa watashi no otousan desu.
That person over there is my father.

In note contributed by jeina419, kanojou should be kanojo
かのじょ 彼女 (contributor: Miki)
Is this JLPT level 3? I guess this is level 4. (contributor: Miki)
I thought that kanojou should be kanojyo in 'normal' romanji? (contributor:
walter)
ex 6194: Wouldn't the use of お父さん mean that わたしの is
redundant? (contributor: walter)
In response to walter's questions:
-There are several ways of Romanizing Japanese. Depending on the system you
use, かのじょ could be either 'kanojo' or 'kanojyo'. Miki's point is
that it's not 'kanojou' because there's no う on the end.
-As for the second question...
...first off, you can use お父さん to talk about other people's
fathers:
みちこのお父さんは親切です。 - Michiko's father is kind.
...and secondly, if you're being formal (which the example seems to be),
you'd normally us 父 (ちち) to refer to your own father. But that's not
stopping anyone in more casual speech, though I think there's a tendency to
drop the お in that case:
父さんに部屋を掃除させられちゃった…
I got forced to clean my room by my dad... (contributor: KWhazit)
I think this is more vocabulary than Grammar and its definatly level 4
