Tips

Think of it as 'previous' or 'front'

Visualize a timeline or a queue. If it's behind you in time or space, use 'mae no'.

⚠️

Don't confuse with 'saki'

While 'saki' can mean 'before', 'mae no' is specifically for modifying nouns. Avoid using 'mae no' for future events.

자주 묻는 질문

4 질문

「前の」は具体的な名詞を修飾する連体詞です。一方、「以前」はそれ自体で過去のある時点を示す名詞として使われます。

列に並んでいるときや、建物の正面を指すときに使います。例えば「前の人」は自分の直前に並んでいる人を指します。

基本的に過去や手前を指すため、未来に対しては使いません。未来の場合は「次の」を使います。

時間的には「次の」、空間的には「後ろの」が反対の意味になります。
