제대로 한국어 배우기 Learning Korean - 어디/위치 Where/at
안녕하세요, 여러분~!
반갑습니다!
I hope every reader of Education 101 is having safe and relaxed days
😇Good news from people,
Since the capability of coping worldly pandemic in South Korea has been acknowledged,
😆MANY OF my friends asked me to teach them Korean and indeed,
the interest of learning Korean is increasing in some countries!
💋💋 I am very glad to see Korean culture will be promoted across the world!
By the way, are you safely home right now? if not, where are you!!!
I want to say 'I am home now!' in Korean!
So, Educational leader prepared, how to say 'Where is ...?'
Then are you prepared to begin?
1. Where is/are ... ? 어디에 있습니까?
어디에 있습니까? or 어디에 있어요?
eodie issseubnikka or eodie iss-eoyo?
Where is/are (Subject) ?
당신은 + 어디에 있습니까/있어요?
dangsin-eun eodie issseubnikka/ iss-eoyo?
you (formal way)where are ?
= Where are you ?
너는 어디에 있어?
neoneun eodie iss-eo?
you(informal way) where are?
= Where are you ?
2. I am at ~ 나는 ~에 있어/ 저는 ~에 있어요
naneun ~e iss-eo/ jeoneun ~e iss-eoyo
What would we answer if someone ask 'Where is ~?'
That is,
Subject + Location + 에 있어/ 있어요/ 있습니다
e iss-eo/iss-eoyo/issseubnida
I am at home
나는 집에 있어요
*e : is the location marking particle in Korean. It follows the location noun
*있습니다 issseubnida
: is a formal verb ending for Korean declarative sentences, indication that something/someone is at a certain place
있어 iss-eo
: is an informal verb ending for Korean declarative sentences, indication that something/someone is at a certain place
있어요 iss-eoyo
: is a formal way as well, but more casual than issseubnida!
3. How can we ask 'Where is Toilet/Korean restaurant/train station/Cinema?'
*Where is the toilet?
화장실은 어디에 있어요?/있습니까?
hwajangsil-eun eodie iss-eoyo?/issseubnikka?
(Do we all remember 'eun' which is subject particle? please read 'Learning Korean - subject particles')
*Where is the Korean restaurant?
한식당은 어디에 있어요?/있습니까?
hansigdang-eun eodie iss-eoyo?/issseubnikka?
*Where is the train station?
기차역은 어디에 있어요?/있습니까?
gichayeog-eun eodie iss-eoyo?/issseubnikka?
*Where is the cinema?
영화관은 어디에 있어요?/있습니까?
yeonghwagwan-eun eodie iss-eoyo?/issseubnikka?
😁😁 Shall we practice more?
