Korean Particles
Korean particles are postpositions, which differ from English prepositions in that they come after the word they mark.
- Example #1: 새가 지붕 위에 있어요. (There's a bird on the roof.)
The particle "위에" is used to mean "on" or "above." It follows the word "지붕" ("roof").
- Example #2: 도서관이 시장 옆에 있어요. (The library is next to the market.)
The particle "옆에" means "next to," and it follows "시장" ("market").
