"I hope you have a chance to snowboard this year!" The sentence has transitive verbs (hope [that ...], have [a chance to ...]), and the Korean phrase for [Verb + Object] is [Object-을/를 Verb-하다]. So you can say: - 올해는 스노보딩(을) 할 기회를 맞기(를) 바라요. (... that you have a chance to snowboard) - 금년엔 스노보딩(을) 할 기회가 있기(를) 바라요. (... that there will be a chance for you to snowboard) Note there is also the verb ending -(으)ㄹ which might look similar but is not the same as 을/를. * 을/를 => Transitive Verb + Noun (스노보딩을 하다. 기회를 맞다, 맞기를 바라다). * -(으)ㄹ => [verb ending to make an attributive adjective] + Noun (할 기회 = chance to do something, 먹을 것 = things to eat, 쓸 돈 = money to spend/use). "have a chance to ..." can be translated as -을/를 할 기회를 맞다 (meet, encounter, have) reflecting the original's structure, or more loosely as -(으)ㄹ 기회가 있다/생기다 (there is/comes a chance/opportunity to ...). Some of these -(으)ㄹ and 을/를 forms are dropped to make the phrase less repetitive, but they are the basic constructs underpinning the phrase. Please feel free to ask again if the above is not clear.
