Questions & Answers about yeop bangeseo keun soriga nayo.

What does 옆 방 mean?

옆 방 means the room next door or the room beside this one.

• 옆 = side, next to
• 방 = room

So together, it refers to a room that is immediately adjacent.

A small note: in standard writing, you will often see this written as 옆방 as one word.

Why is it 에서 and not 에?

Here, 에서 marks the place where something happens or originates.

In 옆 방에서 큰 소리가 나요, the noise is coming from the next room, so 에서 is natural.

Compare:

• 옆 방에 있어요 = It is in the next room.
• 옆 방에서 소리가 나요 = A sound is coming from the next room.

So:

• 에 = location/destination
• 에서 = place where an action/event happens, or source in this kind of sentence
