Preposition

Nooooo....I'm not talking about this 'position'...LOL

안녕하세요!!..
To say 'where something' in English we simply place the preposition (positional word) in the middle of two objects.

For example:
“The pen is ON the table”

In Korean the preposition comes AFTER the two objects and the order is..
“pen (as for) table on is”.

Well, its sound a bit confusing when you read it like that but it will sound more comfortable in hangul.

Notice as well that you need to use a small particle, 에 –e, after the preposition on, in etc to show that you are talking about a place.

So lets learn a few keywords before we proceed with creating sentences..

Keywords
In = 안
On (top of)/Above = 위
Under = 밑
In front of = 앞
Behind = 뒤
Next to = 옆

텔레비전은 탁자 위에 있어요. [tellebijeon-eun takja wi-e isseoyo]. {The television is on the table}.

텔레비전은 = television with subject particle –eun (as for). See ‘subject particle’ post to learn more.
탁자 = table
위에 = on/above with particle –e.
있어요 = have/is.

Here are a few more key words to help you create more sentences. Practice with it and I’m sure it will be easier for you to memorize what you’ve learn.

Chair = 의자
Bed = 침대
Book = 책
Telephone = 전화
Bag = 가방
Computer = 컴퓨터
Door =문
Window = 창문
Picture =그림
Cat = 고양이
Dog = 개
Mouse = 쥐
House = 집
Tree = 나무
Refrigerator = 냉장고
Car = 차

See if you can understand these sentences… Good Luck ;)
