Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

When the particle ni is added to a noun or noun phrase, it indicates a location where someone or something exists. Below are examples of locative phrases.

机の上/下に
Tsukue no ue/shita ni
On/under the desk

駅の近く/そばに
Eki no chikaku/soba ni
Near the station

店の前/後ろに
Mise no mae/ushiro ni
In front of/behind the store

キャビネットの横に
Kyabinetto no yoko ni
Beside the cabinet

部屋の中/外に
Heya no naka/soto ni
Inside/outside the room

川の向こうに
Kawa no mukō ni
Beyond the river

Ni can be used with the demonstrative pronouns koko ("here"), soko ("there"), and asoko ("over there"), as in koko ni arimasu ("it is here”). NOTE: The particles mo ("also") and wa (the topic marker) can be added to ni: koko ni mo arimasu ("it is here, too"), koko ni wa arimasu ("it is here," implying "as far as this place is concerned"). When wa is added to ni, it makes the phrase describing location the topic of the sentence.

Examples:
あそこに大きい池があります。
Asoko ni ōkī ike ga arimasu.
There is a big pond over there.

駅の前にバス停がある。
Eki no mae ni basutei ga aru.
There is a bus stop in front of the station.

入り口のそばに案内人が二人います。
Iriguchi no soba ni annainin ga futari imasu.
There are two guides near the entrance.

この通りに映画館がある。次の通りにもある。
Kono tōri ni eigakan ga aru. Tsugi no tōri ni mo aru.
There is a movie theater on this street. There is also one on the next street.

3階には、コーヒーショップがあります。
Sangai ni wa, kōhī shoppu ga arimasu.
On the third floor, there is a coffee shop.

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね!
