에 있어요: put a thing in a place
Combine a place with 에 and 있어요 or 없어요.
Put 에 after a place to show the location of something that exists there: 학교에 있어요 means “am/is at school” in context. 책상 means desk and 위 means top; 책상 위에 means on the desk.
The book is on the desk.
Yuna is at school.
There is no water at school.
Examples in this unit are text-based. No pronunciation recording or automatic speaking score is used.
Write 학교에 together. In 책상 위에, leave a space before 위 and attach 에 to 위. This 에 marks location with 있어요/없어요; later, actions at a place use 에서. Do not infer a universal translation from the English word “at”.
