Question

A question for a Korean person.
A question for a Korean person. does. 난 먹고 있어요. and  난 먹기 있어요.  means the same? If not what's the difference?

Answer

Pascal Kim got a point. 

먹기 is a noun so it doesn't make sense when used with 있다 there's / exist. 

난 먹기 싫어요. I hate to eat.
난 자기 싫어요. I hate to sleep.

Answer

the first one is definitely correct, meaning 'I am eating', 
but the second one doesn't make sense. 

I think it might be '나는 먹을것이 있어요', 
meaning 'I have something to eat', because '먹기' is a noun which comes from the verb '먹다'.

Answer

(i'm eating now)  it can uesd in 난 먹고 있어요,
but (난 먹기 있어요) it is not correct sentence
