Can ここ be used to present a list? Or is it only used for locations?


If you wanted to present a word or a list of words, can you introduce it/them
with ここ？

For example, "Here is what happened yesterday..."

Or is it used just in the literal sense of a location?




In general, no, you cannot use ここ to translate English phrases like "Here you
go" and "Here are the details ...". You may use これ (lit. "this"), こちら (politer
version of これ), 以下 (lit. "the following"), etc., depending on what you want to
say.

But ここ can refer to some point within a discussion. ここで safely means "At this
point, (let's review ...)" or "Here, (X means ...)".
