"제 집은 은행 가까이에 있습니다."

Translation: My house is near the bank.

[gmholland]

Are 근처에 and 가까이에 interchangeable?

[Renee169426]

근처 implies a bigger area, that something is in the area. 가까이 more so implies that fact that something is very close or near.

[SabianF]

Yeah, no. I've been using Rosetta Stone, and it uses 가까이에 to describe distance between countries

[UltimetaSy]

근처 actually means in vicinity/in neighborhood.

가까이 is near/close by.

[kpopgrrl]

Koreans usually say 우리 집, unless they live alone I guess

[adoptedkorean]

+1 for this. From my experience living in Korea i have never heard someone refer to their home using 제 집/내 집 but always 우리 집. Much more of a collective culture.

[WildWildBasch]

Exactly. Also every time they refer to Korea as their country they say "우리 나라" (our country).

[UltimetaSy]

근처 means in vicinity/neighborhood

가까이 means nearby/close by.

[Jojo9540]

"close to" should also be accepted.

[Fydrenak]

My house is close to the bank should also be acceptable.

[ThomasPrik]

would it also be ok to say "is close to the bank"?

[L3OKas7Ro]

I know English articles are difficult, but in most sentences, both "a" and "the" should be acceptable. Not just either/or.

[LeahAlmaStein]

"near the bank is my house" should be accepted

[GiovanniSantucci]

I don't know about other parts of the world, but American English speakers would probably think you're imitating Yoda's sentence structure from Star Wars.

[Grenoi]

can i say "home" instead "house"?

[SonVII]

Yes

[SonVII]

제 집 sounds awful.
저희 집 sounds natural.

[GiovanniSantucci]

You mean 저의?

[Hannahsipp2]

Can i restart it
