Location in Korean 🇰🇷

위치 info.

Tips to Remember:
• Think of “which”—it sounds similar to “wi-chi” and can remind you to ask “Which location?” when referring to a place.
• Remember that “위치” is derived from Chinese characters 位 (position) and 置 (place), reinforcing its meaning as location or position.

Explanations:
• “위치” (romanized: wi-chi) means “location” or “position.” It is used to indicate where someone or something is located.
• It can refer to both physical locations (like a building’s address) and abstract positions (such as one’s status within a group).

Other Words with the Same Meaning:
• 장소 (jangso) – meaning “place” or “spot.”
• 위치 can also be substituted by terms borrowed from English, such as 로케이션 (rokeisyeon), especially in modern contexts.

Alternate Meanings and Slang:
• Apart from its primary meaning, “위치” can sometimes denote one’s situational stance or standing in a social or professional context (e.g., “사회적 위치” means “social position”).
• There are no widespread slang uses of “위치” that drastically differ from its standard meaning.

Examples of Sentences:
• 내 위치를 확인해 주세요. (Nae wi-chi reul hwakin hae juseyo.) – Please check my location.
• 이 카페는 시내 중심부에 좋은 위치에 있어요. (I kape-neun sinae jungsim-bu-e joheun wi-chi-e isseoyo.) – This café is in a good location in the downtown area.
• 그녀는 회사에서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있어요. (Geunyeoneun hoesaweseo jungyohan wi-chi-reul chajigo isseoyo.) – She holds an important position in the company.
