#Unit_Lesson 30: 있아 & 없다, ~에 as a Time Marker

~ 있아 & 없다

= 있다 means 'there is/are', can also mean 'have'.

· Written form → 있다, 가지고 있다

· Spoken form → 있어, 가지고 있어

=없다 literally means 'there isn't/aren't'. However, it can also mean 'don't have'.

Written Form · 없다 = don't have (Lit. there isn't/aren't)

· 가지고 있지 않다/안 가지고 있다 = don't have (Lit. don't own/possess)

Spoken Form · 없어 = don't have (Lit. there isn't/aren't)

· 가지고 있지 않아/안 가지고 있어 = don't have (Lit. don't own/possess)

~에 as a Time Marker

In Korean, times are also marked by the Korean Time Marker – 에, Korean Place Marker – 에 can also be attached to a noun to indicate time. Place the Korean time marker after the time such as 토요일에, 주말에, 오전에, 오후에 etc, etc.

월요일에 회의가 있습니다. [We have a meeting on Monday.]

이번 주말에 친구를 만납니다. [I meet my friend this weekend.]

오늘은 약수이 있습니다. [Today, there is a medicine.]

언제 한국어 수업이 있어요? [When do you have Korean class?]

무슨 요일에 티파니 씨를 만나요? [ Which day do you meet Tiffany?]

Use Korean Time Marker – 에 only once in a sentence. Place it after the smallest interval of time. However, Korean Place Marker and Korean Time Marker may appear together in one sentence.

다음 달 18일(십팔일) 저녁에 시간 있어요?

[Do you have time in the evening on 18th of next month?]

무슨 요일에 학교에 가요?

[Which days do you go to school?]

월요일에 학교에 가요.

[I go to school on Monday.]

저녁 8시에 (여덟시에) 집에 가요.

[I go home at 8 in the evening.]

에 – to (Korean Place Marker)

에 – at, in, on (Korean Place Marker)

에 – at, in ,on (Korean Time Marker)

However, Korean Time Marker – 에 is not used after:

- 어제 [yesterday] - 오늘 [today]

- 내일 [tomorrow] - 지금 [now]
