Questions & Answers about geu badasga geuncheo-e masissneun sikdangi isseoyo.
What does 그 mean in this sentence, and why is 그 used instead of 저 or 이?
그 is a demonstrative meaning “that,” used for something known or previously mentioned (often near the listener).
- 이 (“this”) refers to something near the speaker.
- 저 (“that over there”) refers to something far from both speaker and listener.
So 그 바닷가 means “that beach” you and I know about, not necessarily one that’s right next to us.
Why is -에 attached to 근처, and what does 바닷가 근처에 mean?
근처 means “vicinity” or “nearby area,” and the particle -에 marks a location (“at/near”).
- 바닷가 근처에 literally means “at/near the beach’s vicinity,” i.e. “near the beach.”
