Questions & Answers about bogwanso apeseo gamanhi seo isseosseo.

What does 보관소 mean, and what kind of place is it?

보관소 means a storage place, cloakroom, luggage storage area, or deposit area, depending on context.

It is made from:

• 보관 = storage, keeping something محفوظ/stored
• 소 = place, station, office

So 보관소 is literally a place for keeping things.

Depending on the situation, it could mean:

• a station luggage storage area
• a coat check
• a warehouse-like storage room
• a place where belongings are held temporarily

Why is it 앞에서 and not 앞에?

Both 앞에 and 앞에서 relate to in front of, but they do slightly different jobs.

• 앞에 = indicates location/existence
  
  • 보관소 앞에 있었어 = I was in front of the storage room.
• 앞에서 = indicates the place where an action happens
  
  • 보관소 앞에서 서 있었어 = I was standing in front of the storage room.

Because 서 있었어 describes an action/state of standing, Korean usually uses 에서 to mark the place where that action occurs.

So in this sentence, 앞에서 is the natural choice because it means: at/in front of the storage area, as the place where I was standing.
