[Grammar] That is not where I know it is.

[Tae-Bbong-E]

Hi

Context is as follows.

Mr. Mike told Mr. TJ the location of ABC store which is in XXX district.
before I heard it, I knew this store is in YYY district.
In that case, Can I express the following?

Mr. TJ: That is not where I know it is
or
Mr. TJ: That is not where I think it is.

Hi,
Please consider the following context. [STRIKE]is as follows.[/STRIKE]

[STRIKE]Mr.[/STRIKE] Mike told [STRIKE]Mr.[/STRIKE] TJ that the location of ABC store [STRIKE]which[/STRIKE] is in XXX District.
[STRIKE]before I heard it,[/STRIKE] However, I know this store is in YYY District.
In that case, can I [STRIKE]express[/STRIKE] say the following?

See above corrections.

That is not where I know it is.

No. Say: "That is not where it is" or (less strong) "That is not where it is as far as I know".

That is not where I think it is.

That is slightly different, because it means you are not so certain about the location.
Note also that we do not use titles with first names; we use them with surnames (Mr Smith, Dr Jones, Mrs Foremile). If you are on familiar terms with someone, then it is okay to use first names, but do not use titles.

Hi Teechar. Thank you. :-D

I have further question.
Is it grammatically wrong? The below sentence cannot covey that the location where I know is different with the one mentioned by Mike, am I right?

That is not where I know it is.

Maybe can I say like this?

a) That is not the same place where I know.

b) That is not the place where it is as far as I know. (--> This is similar to your sentence).

c) That is not where I believe it is.

d) That is not the place where I believe it is in YYY District.

That is not where I know it is.

It sounds clumsy to me.

Only "c" is possible.
Also consider:
I know for a fact that's not where it is.

You could say:

I'm afraid Mr. X is mistaken. That's not where it is.

Or:

That's not the correct location. It's not at XXX. It's at YYY.

I'd say it's wrong. The sentence contradicts itself. If you know the thing is in Seoul, for example, then it's in Seoul. It can't be somewhere else.
