있다

To exist, To be located

Explanation

Expresses the existence or location of something and means ‘to be located in/on’ in English. Although 있다 is typically used in the form of ‘N이/가 N(place)에 있다’, the order of the subject and place in the sentence can be changed with no change in meaning: ‘N(place)에 N이/가 있다’. - N이/가 N(place)에 있다 = N(place)에 N이/가 있다 - The opposite of 있다 is 없다. - When ‘N에 있다’ expresses a place, the following location nouns can be used: 앞, 뒤, 위,아래 (= 밑), 옆 (오른쪽,왼쪽), 가운데, 사이, 안,밖
