Question about 저도 가고 싶어지네요. This is part of a conversation in my textbook. A: 동호회 사람들이 이번 주말에도 허브 공원에 가자고 해서 기대돼요. B: 허브 공원요? 저도 가고 싶어지네요. Why is "가고 싶어지네요" here instead of "저도 가고 싶네요." ? And one more question about a sentence. 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서요. Why not "멀어요" but "멀어서요"? Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

For the first question, both answers can be used, but there is a difference in meaning. 1. 저도 가고 싶네요 = I like to go too. (simply expresses one's state of mind) 2. 저도 가고 싶어지네요 = That makes me want to go too. (indicates the changing state of mind - "become") 싶어지다 = 싶다 + -아/어 지다. -아/어 지다 means "to become (a certain state)". e.g. 날이 어둡다 = It is dark / 날이 어두워졌다 = It got dark. e.g. 동생은 몸이 약하다 = My brother is physically weak / 동생은 몸이 약해졌다 = My brother got weaker. As for the second question, 1. 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어요 = It's too far from my work to home. (plain fact) 2. 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서요 = BECAUSE it's too far from my work to home. (answers a question) #2 thus would be very strange if said in isolation with no one asking any question. For example: Q: 왜 이사하셨서요? A1: 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서 이사했어요. (full answer - unnecessarily repeats the 이사했다 part) A2: 회사에서 집까지 너무 멀어서요. (optimal answer - says only the necessary part)
