"소금이 후추의 왼쪽에 있습니다."

Translation: The salt is to the left of the pepper.

[Haru471583]

This should be "the salt is on the left of the pepper" i think

[the_crait]

I interpret this as... "The salt is at the pepper's left."

[feYnI0]

There is no preposition "on". Please add it to the words below.

[Lidyangelia]

I wrote "the salt is at the left side of the pepper". Isn't this supposed to be right?

[dewpider5]

Why 의?

[talynnn]

what's wrong with 'salt is on the pepper's left'?

[ItsSejong]

Can "There is salt on the left of the pepper " be used?

[weng1127]

후추 is black pepper while 구추is pepper, right?

[nleconte]

후추

고추

구추: the ninth month of the lunar calendar ;)

[Aheesha]

Is it possible to drop the 의?

[soobee620]

This is my question. It seems kind of random when it's used in these constructions.

[mhin1]

Yes. It is not uncommon in spoken Korean.
