Questions & Answers about kono setai wa chiisai.
この means this and directly modifies a noun.
So in この世帯, この is attached to 世帯 and means this household.
A useful comparison:
- この + noun = this ...
- その + noun = that ... (near the listener)
- あの + noun = that ... over there
Also compare it with これ:
- これ = this one / this thing
- この世帯 = this household
You cannot say これ世帯. If a noun follows, use この.
世帯 means household: a group of people living together as one unit.
It is a real and common word, but it is a bit more formal or administrative than everyday words like:
- 家族 = family
- うち / 家 = home, household, house
You often see 世帯 in:
- government documents
- statistics
- census data
- news reports
- discussions of taxes, income, or demographics
So the sentence sounds grammatically fine, but the noun 世帯 itself has a slightly formal, factual tone.
