어디예요? Ask where a place is
Ask for a location and understand 여기, 거기 and 저기.
어디예요? means “Where is it?” when asking for the location of a known place. 여기 is here, 거기 is there (often near the listener or a place just mentioned), and 저기 is over there.
Where is the school?
The school is over there.
The restroom is here.
Examples in this unit are text-based. No pronunciation recording or automatic speaking score is used.
학교가 uses 가 after a vowel-ending noun; 화장실이 uses 이 after a consonant. 이/가 can mark what a location question asks about. 은/는 can set a known place as the topic. This is an introduction, not a rule that these particles are interchangeable in every context.
