- I understand your confusion. There are some rules for reading numbers, but also many exceptions. : ( Mostly before "hour" we use the native Korean numbers as in 1시 = 한 시, but before " second" we use the sino Korean numbers as in 30분=삼십 분. As for 24 hours, we use both 이십사 시간 or 스물네 시간. I guess 이십사시간 is more common. ^^0 votedFebruary 3, 20150
- 이/가 - subject case marker 을/를 - object case marker 은/는 - semantic marker (adding some special meanings to the noun phrase). It represents "topic or contrast." 은/는 sometimes is found in the location of the subject, that's why some people are confused. I suggest you should read many sentences in the context to get the difference. ^^0 votedJanuary 13, 20150
- I learned two new vocabulary words and I'm confused about them: A. 옷을 세탁소에 맡기다 to leave clothes at the dry cleaner's B. 세탁소에서 옷을 찾다 to pick up the dry cleaning 1. I'm confused about the sentence structure. I thought basic Korean sentence structure is: Subject - Noun - Object - Verb * Korean’s basic word order: Subject(is composed of noun or noun phrase)+Object(is composed of noun or noun phrase)+Verb * Korean has so called case markers like 이/가, 을/를, which means ‘WORD ORDER’ is relatively free. * Case markers show the role of a word or phrase in the sentence. *So, 옷을(objet) 세탁소에(adverbial phrase) 맡기다. = 세탁소에 옷을 맡기다. 제는 옷을 세탁소에 맡겼어요. (I left the clothes at the dry cleaner's.) -->저는 2. I read many explanations about 에 vs 에세.--> 에서 에: used to indicate the destination of a verb (used with directional verbs) 에서: used to indicate the location of an action * ‘맡기다’ needs ‘-에’ and ‘찾다’ usually is used with ‘-에서’ 유치원에 아이를 맡기다. 은행에서 돈을 찾다. So shouldn't it be 세탁소에 옷을 찾다? -->wrong *I guess verbs have strong power in the sentence not only in Korean but also in English. ^^0 votedJanuary 13, 20151
