《Let's Learn Korean [Compilation]》LEVEL 1•LESSON 18- 어디 [eo-di] WHERE
Advertisement
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 (이 [i] and 가 [ga]) and topic marking particles (은 [eun] and 는 [neun]).
In this lesson, we are going to have a look at location marking particles, 에 [e] and 에서 [e-seo], and also how to say WHERE in Korean.
First let's learn the word for "WHERE" or "WHICH PLACE".
[eo-di] = where, which place
Now, let's look at how to ask someone "Where do you want to go?" in Korean.
to go = 가다 [ga-da]
to want to = 고 싶어요 [go si-peo-yo]
Do you remember how to form a sentence using 고 싶어요 [go si-peo-yo]?
Yes, you drop the letter '다' at the end of a verb and attach 고 싶어요 after that.
가다 + 고 싶어요 --> 가고 싶어요 [ga-go si-peo-yo] = I want to go.
가고 싶어요 = I want to go.
가고 싶어요? = Do you want to go?
And now, you just add the word 어디 [eo-di] in front of the verb.
어디 가고 싶어요? [eo-di ga-go si-peo-yo?] = Where do you want to go?
Whereas it is POSSIBLE to make sentences without location marking particles (as in the exam- ple above: 어디 가고 싶어요?), 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, 에 [e] and 에서 [e-seo].
에[e] = at, to Noun + 에 [e]
에 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.
Let's say "I went to school." in Korean.
1. to go = 가다 [ga-da]
I went = 가 + 았어요 = 갔어요 [ga-sseo-yo]
2. school = 학교 [hak-gyo]
3. to = 에 [e]
I went to school. = 학교에 갔어요. [hak-gyo-e ga-sseo-yo]
Let's say "I came to Korea." in Korean.
1. to come = 오다 [o-da]
I came = 오 + 았어요 = 왔어요 [wa-sseo-yo]
2. Korea = 한국 [han-guk]
3. to = 에 [e]
I came to Korea. = 한국에 왔어요. [han-gug-e wa-sseo-yo]
Let's say "Where do you want to go?" in Korean.
1. to go = 가다 [ga-da]
do you want to go = 가 + 고 싶어요 = 가고 싶어요 [ga-go si-peo-yo]
2. where = 어디 [eo-di]
3. to = 에 [e]
Where do you want to go? = 어디에 가고 싶어요? [eo-di-e ga-go si-peo-yo?]
Let's say "Where are you?" in Korean.
1. to be = 있다 [it-da]
are you = 있 + 어요 = 있어요 [i-sseo-yo]
2. where = 어디 [eo-di]
3. at = 에 [e]
Where are you? = 어디에 있어요? [eo-di-e i-sseo-yo?]
Where are you now? = 지금 어디에 있어요? [ji-geum eo-di-e i-sseo-yo?]
어디에 있어요 지금? [eo-di-e i-sseo-yo ji-geum?]
에서 [e-seo] = at, in, from Noun + 에서 [e-seo]
에서 [e-seo] can express many things, but here let's look at two of its main roles.
에서 [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 에 and 에서.
에 and 에서 can both be translated to "at" in English. How are they different then?

에 expresses a location where something "is" or "exists" or a direction that you are going to- ward.
Ex) 집에 있어요. = I am at home. 집에 가요. = I'm going home.
에서 expresses a location where some action is taking place.
Ex) 집에서 일해요. = I work at home.
집에서 뭐 해요? = What are you doing at home?
Some useful verbs and their conjugations to know
가다 [ga-da] = to go
가요 [ga-yo] = I go / you go / s/he goes / they go / let's go
갔어요 [ga-sseo-yo] = went / to have gone
오다 [o-da] = to come
왔어요 [wa-sseo-yo] = came / to have come
있다 [it-da] = to be, to exist
있었어요 [i-sseo-sseo-yo] = was / to have been
보다 [bo-da] = to see
봤어요 [bwa-sseo-yo] = saw / to have seen

Daiyu's Ascent
The well-learned, sweet, and innocent Tang Daiyu's world crumbles around her when her family's reputation falls. Her father, a disgraced official, and her mother are both executed by Emperor Jianyuan of Chang. She is left struggling to care for her toddler brother, Baobao. Then, two eunuchs from the palace come to visit. Tang Daiyu is forced to watch as her brother is wrenched from her. She is taken to the Imperial Palace and made into a maid serving Princess Ling of Chang. Tang Daiyu works her way up the ranks, and she is noticed by Prince Han, Liu Jin. As she and Prince Han get to know each other, outside forces threaten to tear them apart. When Chang is threatened with war, Tang Daiyu volunteers for an intermarriage with the southern kingdom of Heping. Tang Daiyu's past has made her stronger than she ever thought possible. She leaves the Imperial Palace and Chang. In Heping, she marries one of the princes and later become Empress of Heping. But when pieces of the truth regarding her parents' executions leak, she realizes that no one can be trusted. Except herself... an old friend, and a few exiles. With the help of Chang exiles and a master of martial arts, Tang Daiyu begins her rise from the ashes of her past. Her plan? Soar above those who made her into a pawn and take them down, sparing no one. ***Author's Note: This is an alternate version of China replacing the Western and Eastern Jin Dynasties. The Weiyang Palace in Chang'an and the Southern and Northern palaces in Luoyang are real, and I have tried to keep the various halls and their purposes historically accurate. The Nanning Palace and Lihua Palace don't exist in real life.*** *Daiyu's Ascent is a wuxia novel.* *Is not a fanfic* © All rights reserved

"When I wished I was a Witch I meant like an Harry Potter witch, either before or after voldy or outside of England!"As a little girl I always wanted to be special.I read anything I could find in the fantasy genre, but the thing I was obsessed with was Witches. From Harry Potter to The Secret Circle, I had read and seen them all. Every single wish I had ever made, from birthday candles to shooting stars, was always the same 'I want to be a witch!'.But I guess luck wasn't on my side, and I died. I soo didn't wish to be reborn as the most unappreciated, judgy, witch of the century. I mean doing dark magic, that's fine. Dying, well - been there, done that. Being the anchor, not funny like - at all.Being stuck in a world prison with a psycho with a weird name, yeah ... I'm changing the timeline. Screw the writers, this is my story now and Bonnie Bennett is going to be the most badass witch since Qetsiyah, or Dhalia, or Esther, or Silas... whatever ... you get it."Why not Davina? Sure she was almost sacrificed by her coven and got locked in a church but at least she dated Kol 2.0 !"
