What does 되어 있습니다 mean?
What does 되어 있습니다 mean?
Specifically, I'm not sure what 되어 means in this context. I learned that 되어 means to become.

Here is the example sentence I was trying to understand:
경찰차는 경찰서 밖에 주차되어 있습니다.
gyeongchalchaneun gyeongchalsseo bakke juchadoeeo itseumnida.
The police cars are parked outside the police station.

Can we translate this directly to:
Police cars - parking lot outside - parking became - is.

Answer

되어 means that "it's been ~ing" or "it has p.p"
경찰차는 경찰서 밖에 주차되어 있습니다. 
= The police car has been parking outside the police station.

As you know that 되다 is become or became, sometimes it's right. But usually Korean use this 되다 as "sth/ sb have pp"
