is in / is at / exists in에 있어 is the present-tense form of 있다 (“to be; to exist”) following the location particle 에. In ordinary Korean spelling, it is often written together as 있어 after 에 (for example, 방에 있어). It is commonly used at the end of a clause or before a connecting ending, rather than directly before a noun; before a noun, use 에 있는 (“that is in/at”).
