Place demonstratives 여기 / 거기 / 저기 + 어디
Explanation
The ch13 이/그/저 set applies the same way to places: 여기 (near me), 거기 (near you), 저기 (far from us both). To ask about a place, use 어디: "여기가 어디예요?" = what place is this? Other question words pattern the same way: 언제 (when), 왜 (why). And the common verbs 먹다, 마시다 become "먹어요", "마셔요" with -아/어요.
Examples
- 여기가어디예요?Where is this (place)?
- 집이 어디예요?Where is your home?
- 저기 고양이가 있어요.There's a cat over there.
- 저는 여기에서 사과를 먹어요.I eat an apple here. (먹다 → 먹어요)
