" 차 는 방 에 있 습니다 . " 
 Translation : The tea is in the room . 
 There is tea in the room wasn ' t accepted . Just wondering why . 
 Both are exactly the same . Report it next time you come across the question so they can make it an accepted answer . 
 it ' s been changed now , they accepted it

 I think they should use a different word instead of tea because this word also means car .

 It also means tea . Its certainly confusing to use both in the same lesson , but its not wrong . 
 But this is basics 2 , most people at this point have enough to be confused about without having to deal with homonyms . Let ' s keep things simple . One thing at a time please . 
 It accepts the car is in the room . 
 It ' s correct . But 차 means both tea and car .

 Yes , but you have to look at the rest of the sentence . Why would a car be in the room ? Lol . I still get confused because Korean is not as specific as english , which is a good thing but its also very frustrating too because of the punctuation , rules and so on lol 
 It could be a toy car or a model car or maybe the room is a garage . It accepts both tea and car in the room . 
 The car is in the room should be correct as well . Right ?

 I understand why it would consider it wrong I guess , but I put There is tea in the room . Would that be a different sentence ?

 Does 에 indicate location ? If not , what ' s it ' s purpose ? 
 Yes , 에 represents location . Use 에 for anything that exists or will exist ' at ' a location .

 Tea in Gujarati is ચા and it is pronounced the same ( 차 ) . Are they cognates ? 
 Yes , they both derive ultimately from Chinese , as do the words for tea in nearly all languages . ( Depending on the path , though , some are less obvious , like " tea ") 
 At first I thought it said " The car has a room " XD 
 Why 는 / 은 instead of 가 / 이 ? I understand that it is subject vs topic but in the sentence " the room is in the house " we were taught to use 이 
 Both are fine . I would mark this as an issue so they put the additional translation in . But if you wanna be super technical , whenever starting a sentence with a subject not previously mentioned or in comparison to the previous conversation , it ' s more typical to use 은 / 는 . That being said , it REALLY doesn ' t matter here ^^ 
 I think the reason they still don ' t accept " there is tea in the room " is because of the use of 는 after 차 . So its basically saying " as for the tea , its in the room " 
 How were we supposed to know it was " tea " and not " car " or something ?

 I put the right awser but it said it was wrong when it shier me the rigjt answer theu were the same 
 I don ' t understand the difference between something being somewhere and someone having something 
 That ' s because 있 다 is quite a versatile word in comparison to English ' s many interpretations . 
 First , the most important thing to note is 있 다 simply means " to exist . " It means this and nothing else . From here , it ' ll start to make more sense : 
 Let ' s take this sentence : 저 는 강아지 두 마리 있 다 
 This would translate as " I have two dogs . " But the literal translation would be " As for me , two dogs exist . " Utilizing a subject in this sentence implies possession of whatever " exists , " and in English we say it a little differently , using " to have ( something ) . " 
 Next let ' s take this sentence : 저 는 병원 에 있 다 
 I hope this brief explanation helps . Once you learn there ' s only one technical meaning to the word 있 다 is only " to exist , " many parts of the language start to make a lot more sense where it comes into play .
