"제 배낭이 나무 옆에 있습니다."

Translation: My backpack is next to the tree.

[Maki-risu]

I almost read it as "inside the tree" and I was concerned for a moment.

[When_We_Were_Us]

LOL!

heavy audible sigh my habit of saying bookbag instead of backpack cost me the right answer :D

what's the difference between nae and je in reference to "my"?

[wadi_hasan]

They are same, 제= is the short of (저의) and it is a formal form , but 내(나의) is informal.

[anz958824]

Thanks! 감사합니다.

[ladydessy]

내 is casual. 제 is formal.

[bluefairy5]

je is polite speech and ne is plain speech

[KindleRous]

Politeness! :) 제 is more formal, lowering yourself before the other person. 내 is relaxed and more used, in my opinion, but thats because I'm used to hearing my elders talking to me or listening to friends amongst themselves.

[pinkem]

Formality - 제 is the polite/honorific form

[Assia090]

Nae is informal and jae is formal

[Ur_hope]

They are the same, 제 is formal while 내 is informal.

Beside should have been accepted as well as next to.

[wrG33]

"beside" and "by the side of " will be synomous with "next to".

[KennethHarvey]

Where Im from we say bookbag but that is incorrect here? I dont know why

[Snoopy189]

What is the difference between "I put my backpack next to a tree" and "I put my backpack next to the tree"?
