Latest / Learn Korean with Fexingo / Korean Position Words - Inside Outside
Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Korean with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 55 already—can you believe it? Lucas: I know, time flies. Today we're adding two more position words to our toolkit: 안 and 밖. Luna: Oh, I remember we did 위 and 아래 last time, and 앞 and 뒤 before that. Lucas: Exactly. Now we're talking about inside and outside. Very handy for everyday life. Luna: Totally. Like, 'my phone is inside my bag' or 'let's go outside'. Lucas: Right. So 안 means 'inside' and 밖 means 'outside'. Let's start with 안. Luna: 안... 안. That sounds a bit like 'ahn'. Lucas: Good. 안. Now let's put it in a phrase: 집 안에 있어요. Luna: 집 안에 있어요. That means 'it's inside the house'? Lucas: Exactly. 집 is house, 안 is inside, 에 is location marker, 있어요 is 'there is'. So literally 'house inside at exists'. Luna: 집 안에 있어요. I can use that. 'Where's my book? 집 안에 있어요.' Lucas: Perfect. Now let's try 밖. 밖 means 'outside'. Say it with me: 밖. Luna: 밖. That's a bit tricky—has that double consonant at the end. Lucas: Yes, but you got it. 밖. Now a phrase: 집 밖에 있어요. Luna: 집 밖에 있어요—'it's outside the house'. Lucas: Right. So we can contrast: 집 안에 있어요 and 집 밖에 있어요. Luna: Okay, let me try both. 집 안에 있어요. 집 밖에 있어요. Lucas: Awesome. Now let's learn another common one: 가방 안에 있어요. Luna: 가방 안에 있어요—'it's inside the bag'. Lucas: Exactly. So if someone asks where your phone is, you can say 핸드폰 가방 안에 있어요. Luna: 핸드폰 가방 안에 있어요. But what if it's not in the bag? Lucas: Then you could say 가방 밖에 있어요, but that's a bit unnatural. Usually we just say where it is. But the pattern is solid. Luna: Alright. So 안 and 밖 are like inside and outside. Got it. Lucas: Let's do a quick scene. Imagine you're looking for your wallet. Your friend says...? Luna: 지갑은 어디에 있어요? Wait, we haven't learned 지갑 yet. Lucas: Good point. But we can use 우리 집—'our house'. So let's say: 고양이는 집 안에 있어요. Luna: 고양이는 집 안에 있어요—'The cat is inside the house.' Lucas: Right. And if the cat is outside: 고양이는 집 밖에 있어요. Luna: 고양이는 집 밖에 있어요. Oh, that's useful. My cat loves to be outside. Lucas: So now you can talk about where your cat is. Let's practice the phrases one more time. Luna: Sure. 안... 밖... Lucas: Repeat after me: 집 안에 있어요. Luna: 집 안에 있어요. Lucas: 집 밖에 있어요. Luna: 집 밖에 있어요. Lucas: 가방 안에 있어요. Luna: 가방 안에 있어요. Lucas: Great job. Now try saying 'The cat is outside the house' on your own. Luna: Umm... 고양이는 집 밖에 있어요? Lucas: Yes! That's perfect. You got it. Luna: Sweet. So today we learned 안 and 밖, and phrases like 집 안에 있어요 and 집 밖에 있어요. Lucas: And 가방 안에 있어요. That's a lot of useful stuff. Remember to practice by looking around you and saying what's inside or outside. Luna: Yeah, I'm gonna look at my room and say 책상 위에 있어요, 침대 아래에 있어요... and now 방 안에 있어요. Lucas: There you go. And remember, with Fexingo, you can practice these phrases anytime. Luna: Absolutely. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Korean with Fexingo! Lucas: Bye for now!
