LEVEL 1 LESSON 18
In Korean, as you already know, there are some particles which are used to mark the roles of some nouns, and so far, we have learned about subject marking particles ( [i] and and topic marking particles ( [eun] and

[ga])

[neun]). In this lesson, we are going to have a

look at location marking particles, [e] and [e-seo], and also how to say WHERE in Korean.

First lets learn the word for WHERE or WHICH

PLACE.

[eo-di] = where, which place

Now, lets look at how to ask someone Where do you want to go? in Korean.

to go = [ga-da] to want to = [go si-peo-yo]

Do you remember how to form a sentence using [go si-peo-yo]? Yes, you drop the letter at the end of a verb and attach after that.

+ --> [ga-go si-peo-yo] = I want to go.

= I want to go. ? = Do you want to go?

And now, you just add the word [eo-di] in front of the verb. ? [eo-di ga-go si-peo-yo?] = Where do you want to go?

LEVEL 1 LESSON 18
WHY USE LOCATION MARKING PARTICLES?

Whereas it is POSSIBLE to make sentences without location marking particles (as in the example above: ?), by using the right location marking particles, you can make your message very clear. There are many location marking particles in Korean, but let us look at the two most basic particles, [e] and [e-seo].

[e] = at, to
Noun + [e]

is a location marking particle, but it is not only used to mark locations. It means at, to and etc, and it can be used to mark a location, a time, a situation, and many other things, but here, at us just focus on its role of marking locations.

Let us look at how it is used inside a Korean sentence, by looking at some sample sentences.

Sample 1 Lets say I went to school. in Korean. 1. to go = [ga-da] I went = + = [ga-sseo-yo] 2. school = [hak-gyo] 3. to = [e] I went to school. = . [hak-gyo-e ga-sseo-yo]

Sample 3 Lets say Where do you want to go? in Korean. 1. to go = [ga-da] do you want to go = + = [ga-go si-peo-yo] 2. where = [eo-di] 3. to = [e] Where do you want to go? = ? [eo-di-e ga-go si-peo-yo?]

Sample 4 Lets say Where are you? in Korean. 1. to be = [it-da] are you = + = [i-sseo-yo] 2. where = [eo-di] 3. at = [e] Where are you? = ? [eo-di-e i-sseo-yo?] Where are you now? = ? [ ji-geum eo-di-e i-sseo-yo?] ? [eo-di-e i-sseo-yo ji-geum?]

[e-seo] = at, in, from
Noun + [e-seo] [e-seo] can express many things, but here lets look at two of its main roles.

[e-seo] expresses: 1. a location where an action is taking place (ex. I studied in the library. / I met my friends in Seoul.) 2. the meaning of from a place (ex. I came from Seoul. / This package came from Spain.)

The difference between and . and can both be translated to at in English. How are they different then? expresses a location where something is or exists or a direction that you are going toward.

Ex) . = I am at home. . = Im going home.

expresses a location where some action is taking place.

Ex) . = I work at home. ? = What are you doing at home?
