en: when
notes: |
<p>Particles like ~부터 and ~까지, which are often used to indicate from/until when something happens can be attached to 언제 to indicate that it is unknown "from/until when" something happens.</p>
<p>언제 can also be attached to "이다" to ask "when" something is. In these cases as well, it replaces the noun that would normally be attached to 이다. For example: "결혼식은 언제야?" = "When is the wedding?"</p>
<p>This word appears in my Korean Sign Explanation Video 5.</p>
<p><YouTube id="wMRfpE9JdUo" /></p>
examples:
- ko: 집에 **언제** 갔어?
audio: https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Lesson21-40.mp3
en: "**When** did you go home?"
- ko: 집에 **언제** 갈 거야?

en: "**When** did that girl disappear?"
- ko: 낮잠을 **언제** 잤어요?
en: "**When** did you take a nap?"
- ko: 아빠가 **언제** 왔나요?
en: "**When** did dad come?"
- ko: "**언제부터** 아팠어요?"
audio: https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Lesson21-45.mp3
en: "**Since when** have you been sick?"
- ko: 한국에서 **언제까지** 있을 거예요?

- ko: 어디
audio: https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Lesson21v30.mp3
en: where
notes: |
<p>The particle ~까지 is commonly attached to 어디. ~부터 is not commonly attached to 어디 for the same reason that ~부터 is not commonly attached to a place, as described in Lesson 12.</p>
<p>Like 언제, it can also be used as the noun before 이다 to ask where something "is." For example: "어디야?" = "Where are you?" This is really only done when speaking to a person, and you are asking him/her directly where he/she is. When asking where another person, or another thing is, it is more natural to use 있다 in the sentence.</p>

en: also
notes: |
<p>The pronunciation of this word is closer to "역씨"</p>
<p>Similar to the particle ~도. However, 역시 does not get added directly to nouns.</p>

examples:
- ko: "**몇몇** 사람들은 밥을 좋아하지 않아"
en: "**Some** people don't like rice"

notes: |
<p>벌써 can be used to indicate that one action has "already" happened. These actions are usually finished when then speaker uses "벌써."</p>
<p>It can also be used to indicate that an action happens earlier than expected. These actions don't have to be finished for the speaker to use 벌써.</p>
examples:
- ko: 저는 그 사실을 **벌써** 알고 있었어요
en: I **already** knew that fact
- ko: 내가 밥을 **벌써** 먹어서 지금 먹고 싶지 않아
en: Because I **already** ate, I don't want to eat now

examples:
- ko: 저는 그 사실을 **이미** 알고 있었어요
en: I **already** knew that fact
- ko: 내가 밥을 **이미** 먹어서 지금 먹고 싶지 않아

Particles like \~부터 and \~까지, which are often used to indicate from/until when something happens can be attached to 언제 to indicate that it is unknown “from/until when” something happens. For example:
- **언제부터** 아팠어요? <AudioButton src="https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Lesson21-45.mp3" /> = <span class="md spoiler">**Since when** have you been sick?</span>

- **언제부터** 한국어를 공부했어요? = <span class="md spoiler">**Since when** have you been studying Korean?</span>
언제 can also be attached to “이다” to ask “when” something is. In these cases as well, it replaces the noun that would normally be attached to 이다. For example:
- 결혼식은 **언제야**? = **When** is the wedding?
- 방학은 **언제야**? = **When** is vacation?
- 결혼식은 **언제야**? = <span class="md spoiler">**When** is the wedding?</span>

The particle \~까지 is commonly attached to 어디. \~부터 is not commonly attached to 어디 for the same reason that \~부터 is not commonly attached to a place, as described in Lesson 12. For example:
- **어디까지** 가고 싶어요? <AudioButton src="https://www.howtostudykorean.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Lesson21-54.mp3" /> = <span class="md spoiler">**How far/until where** do you want to go?</span>

- 지하철을 **어디까지** 탈 거예요? = <span class="md spoiler">**Until where** will we ride the subway?</span>
Like 언제, it can also be used as the noun before 이다 to ask where something “is.” For example:
- 어디야? = Where are you?
- 어디야? = <span class="md spoiler">Where are you?</span>
This is really only done when speaking to a person, and you are asking him/her directly where he/she is. When asking where another person, or another thing is, it is more natural to use 있다 in the sentence. For example:
- 친구가 **어디**에 있어요? = **Where** is your friend?
- 엄마가 **어디**에 있어요? = **Where** is mom?
- 펜이 **어디**에 있어요? = **Where** is the pen?
