- Hey! I dunno if it will help much but there are indeed quite a number of Korean prepositions haha. But because of the language structure of the Korean language, these prepositions are often placed after the subjects in sentences. For example using the sentences you provided, This gift/present is for you : 이 선물이 당신에게 줄게요 (I will give you this present) I made it for you : 이것은 당신을 위해 만들었어요 Thanks for helping me : 도와줬어서 감사합니다 And yes you are right when you identified -에게 as the preposition of 아름다운 그대에게. So I'm pretty sure you also understand that Korean prepositions often come after subjects in most sentences ^^0 votedJuly 6, 20141
Many countries in the world are experiencing overpopulation, especially in developing and underdeveloped countries. When people of these countries are questioned regarding this matter, several critical issues are brought up. There are many ways to solve these problems. However, they will need the collective effort of both the government and the individuals of these countries. In this essay, I would like to highlight some problems which originate from this issue and propose some solutions in solving it.
First and foremost, I'd like to touch on the detrimental effect overpopulation has on human health. Imagine living in an overcrowded city. The air is likely polluted. This alone will make people living in that city prone to health risks. Many researches have been done regarding this matter and have shown that people who live in air polluted cities are susceptible to respiratory diseases in the long term. Take, for example, lung cancer, asthma and so on, which are chronic diseases and which patients have to tolerate for life.
Secondly, educational facilities are hardly provided by the government. Therefore, the educational needs of the population are not met, which will result in the drop of the population's literary rate and subsequently affecting their quality of life in a negative way. This is interconnected with the health and well-being of the people. People might encounter many health problems because they are not educated enough to know how to manage their health properly.
To solve the issue of overpopulation, there are many long term strategies that can be considered. To start off, governments have to establish the "one child" policy. By doing this, over time we will be able to witness the birth rates of these countries start to level off or even decrease. However, this policy needs to be adhered to by the population. Indeed, it is a collective responsibility. Governments can also implement traffic laws and enforce people to use public transportations instead of using private cars. (<em>On a side note: how can reducing usage of private cars result in the drop in birth rate and thus improving the issue of overpopulation?)</em>It is certainly true to say that by implementing the correct policies governments can be able to control unwanted population growth and thus avoid many problems which result from overpopulation. This will in turn save money for the governments and also reduce the probability of health diseases resulting from overpopulation in the future. To have a happy life is an ambition of any person. It is the duty of both the individuals and the government to provide it.
0 votedJanuary 30, 20140- Difference between "-지만" and "기는 하지만" Both mean "but", however 기는 하지만 adds in the impression that the speaker recognizes the fact. 좋은 선물이지만 못 받겠어요. It's a nice gift but I can't accept. 좋은 선물이기는 하지만 못 받겠어요. Although it's a nice gift, I can't accept. Is it correct? By adding 기는 하지만 it emphasizes that the speaker recognizes the fact that the present is nice but he cannot accept. But that doesn't mean that in the first scenario the speaker does not recognize the present is nice. He simply chose not to emphasize it by using 지만 straight away instead of 기는 하지만, correct? >_< Thank you!September 2, 201350
