Use "kono fuku" for "these clothes" and "ni" for particle "into." (anata no) suitcase ni kono fuku o oite kudasai. But rather than "oku," "ireru" is better verb choice I think.

Click to expand... oku = put or place // ireru = put into I understand now why ireru is a better verb choice but I am confused as to where to put it. Do I replace oite? Would I say: あなたのスーツケースにこのふくおおいてください∘
