Questions & Answers about jeojjok geonmul oksangeseo badaga boyeoyo.

Why is it 저쪽 건물 옥상 and not 저쪽의 건물의 옥상?

Korean often leaves out 의 when one noun naturally modifies another.

So:

• 저쪽 건물 = the building over there / that-side building
• 건물 옥상 = the building’s rooftop

Putting it together:

• 저쪽 건물 옥상 = the rooftop of the building over there

Using 의 is grammatically possible in some contexts, but Korean usually prefers the shorter, more natural style when the relationship is obvious.

So 저쪽 건물 옥상에서 sounds much more natural in everyday Korean than 저쪽의 건물의 옥상에서.

What does 저쪽 mean here, and how is it different from 저기?

저쪽 means something like that side / over there / that direction.

It points to a place that is away from both the speaker and the listener, or simply farther away in the context.

Compare:

• 저기 = there (a location)
• 저쪽 = that side / over in that direction

So:

• 저기 건물 = that building over there
• 저쪽 건물 = the building on that side / the building over there

In many situations they can feel similar, but 저쪽 has a stronger sense of direction/side rather than just a place.
