- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is so good to be here again. Lucas: In the last episode, we talked about rooms. We said 거실이 넓어요. Luna: Right. The living room is wide. But where are the things in the living room? Lucas: That is exactly what we are learning today. Prepositions of place. Luna: Oh, those little words that tell you where something is. Lucas: Yes. We will learn five very useful patterns. Let us start with the first one. Luna: I am ready. What is the first word? Lucas: The first pattern is: 위에 있어요. This means 'It is on top of' or 'above'. Luna: 위에 있어요. Okay. That sounds like 'wi-e iss eo yo'. Lucas: Exactly. 위 means top. 에 is a location particle. 있고요 means 'to exist'. So together: 위에 있어요. Luna: Let me try. 위에 있어요. It is on top. Lucas: Perfect. Now let us put it in a sentence. The book is on the desk. Luna: Book is 책상. Desk is 책상. Wait, no. Book is 책. Desk is 책상. Lucas: Correct. So: 책이 책상 위에 있어요. The book is on the desk. Luna: 책이 책상 위에 있어요. Oh, I love how clear that is. Lucas: It is very visual. If your coffee cup is on the table, you say 컵이 테이블 위에 있어요. Luna: 컵이 테이블 위에 있어요. Okay. That is the first phrase. Lucas: Good. Now for the second one. This is the opposite of above. Luna: Below? Underneath? Lucas: Yes. The word is 아래. So the pattern is: 아래에 있어요. It means 'It is below' or 'under'. Luna: 아래에 있어요. ah rea e iss eo yo. Lucas: Very good. Let us make a sentence. The cat is under the chair. Luna: Cat is 고양이. Chair is 의자. So... 고양이가 의자 아래에 있어요? Lucas: Spot on. 고양이가 의자 아래에 있어요. The cat is under the chair. Luna: 아래에 있어요. Below. Under. Got it. Lucas: Now, let us move inside. This next one is very common in daily life. Luna: Is it 'inside'? Lucas: Yes. Inside is 안. So the phrase is: 안에 있어요. It means 'It is inside'. Luna: 안에 있어요. An-e iss eo yo. Like inside a box? Lucas: Exactly. Or inside a bag. My phone is in my bag. Luna: Phone is 폰. Bag is 가방. So: 폰이 가방 안에 있어요? Lucas: Yes. 폰이 가방 안에 있어요. That is perfect pronunciation. Luna: 안에 있어요. Inside. I can use this all day long. Lucas: You definitely can. Now, think about the outside of things. Luna: Outside? Opposite of inside? Lucas: Correct. Outside is 밖. So the pattern is: 밖에 있어요. It means 'It is outside'. Luna: 밖에 있어요. Bak-ke iss eo yo. Lucas: Let us try a sentence. The dog is outside the house. Luna: Dog is 개. House is 집. So:개가 집 밖에 있어요? Lucas: Yes. 개가 집 밖에 있어요. The dog is outside the house. Luna: 밖에 있어요. Outside. Simple and strong. Lucas: We have one more. This one is for when things are side-by-side. Luna: Next to? Beside? Lucas: Yes. Next to is 옆. So the phrase is: 옆에 있어요. It means 'It is next to' or 'beside'. Luna: 옆에 있어요. Yeop-e iss eo yo. Lucas: Good. Let us say: The lamp is next to the sofa. Luna: Lamp is 램프. Sofa is 소파. So:램프가 소파 옆에 있어요? Lucas: Exactly. 램프가 소파 옆에 있어요. You are doing great. Luna: 옆에 있어요. Next to. I feel like I can describe my whole apartment now. Lucas: You can! We learned: 위에 있어요, 아래에 있어요, 안에 있어요, 밖에 있어요, and 옆에 있어요. Luna: Five new ways to say where things are. This is so helpful. Lucas: Before we go, I want to mention something important about our show.

The pen is on the paper. Lucas: Pen is 펜. Paper is 종이. 펜이 종이 위에 있어요. Luna: 펜이 종이 위에 있어요. Nice. Lucas: The shoes are under the bed. Luna: Shoes is 신발. Bed is 침대. 신발이 침대 아래에 있어요. Lucas: The keys are in my pocket. Luna: Keys is 열쇠. Pocket is 주머니. 열쇠가 주머니 안에 있어요. Lucas: The car is outside the garage. Luna: Car is 차. Garage is 차고. 차가 차고 밖에 있어요. Lucas: The plant is next to the window. Luna: Plant is 식물. Window는 창문. 식물이 창문 옆에 있어요. Lucas: Excellent work today. You are building a solid foundation.
