Conjugation problem Hello, Is there a difference between 다른 학교 에비해서 장학금을 많이 줘요 and 다른 학교 에비해서 장학금을 많이 주는 거예요. ? Does the conjugation of the verb 주다 is changing anything here or does it says basically the same thing? Thank you for your help :)

1. 다른 학교에 비해서 장학금을 많이 줘요? Do they offer higher scholarship than the other schools? You ask this way if you are curious WHETHER the scholarship this particular shool offers is higher. You most probably don't know the exact amount though. 2. 다른 학교에 비해서 장학금을 많이 주는 거예요? This one is tricky. A direct translation is really hard. (at least impossible for me) You most probably ask this way if: - you know the exact amount now - this amount is much less than you expected - you wonder how little the other schools' scholarship is if this pathetic amount is considered "high" compared to the others That's the general nuance of #2. It may vary depending on the context though. I'd translate #2 to: "THIS scholarship is supposed to be higher than the others? (you must be kidding)" 1. 이렇게 하세요 2. 이렇게 하는 거예요 1. Do it like this 2. Doing it like this is the proper/right one.

1. 다른 학교에 비해서 장학금을 많이 줘요 => They offer more scholarship compared with other schools. 2. 다른 학교에 비해서 장학금을 많이 주는 거예요 => It is that they offer more scholarship compared with other schools. So there is no change in meaning. (2) is a more indirect way of saying it, perhaps to further explain what was said just before it.
