근처 Notes: 근처 and 가깝다 are words that have similar meanings. 근처 is actually a noun but I feel it acts and feels like an adverb. 가깝다 is an adjective, which means it can predicate sentences and describe upcoming nouns. 근처 is most commonly used after a noun (like 위, 안, 밑, 뒤, etc…) to mean “close to…” for example:대학로 근처에 극장이 많아요 = There are a lot of theaters near 대학로It can also be used to generally just mean “close” to here.

to stay

A

머무르다 Common Usages:장소에 머무르다 = to stay at a placeNotes: 머무르다 can be used as 머물다, which is actually a shortened version of 머무르다.머무르다 can be used any way and with any grammatical principle, but must be used in accordance with the 르 irregular. For example:한국에서 온 교환학생이 우리 집에서 1년 동안 머물렀어요 = A Korean exchange student stayed at our house for a yearHowever, 머물다 cannot be used with all grammatical principles.Any grammatical principle that starts with a consonant (and there is no option other than that one consonant), can be added to 머물다. For example:머물다 + ~자 = 머물자 = okay머물다 + ~고 = 머물고 = okay머물다 + 겠다 = 머물겠다 = okay머물다 + ~지 않다 = 머물지 않다 = okayIf a grammatical principle that is added to 머물다 is a vowel – and there is no other option other than a vowel – then that grammatical principle cannot be added to 머물다. The two most common grammatical principles where this occurs is when conjugating in the past or present tenses. For example:머물다 + ~아/어(요) = 머물어요 – this is incorrect머물다 + ~았/었어요 = 머물었어요 – this is incorrectSee Lesson 97 for more information.Example: 우리는 10일 동안 부산에서 머물렀어요 = We stayed in Busan for 10 days
