[edit] Usage notes
- あれ mans "that yon" or yonder - something far off, removed from both speaker and listener. Contrast with それ, indicating something removed from the speaker but close(r) to the listener.
- The hiragana spelling (あれ) is preferred to the kanji spelling (彼れ), which is rarely used.
[edit] Interjection

- hey; oh
- Look!; There!
[edit] Noun
あれ (romaji are)
- 荒れ: stormy weather, roughness or chapping, devastation or dilapidation
