- 치고 with verbs and time? 가능한가요 ? How would you say in korean: ''You are very good in korean, for learning it for only 1 year.'' 1년동안 공부하는? 치고 한국어를 잘하시네요 ? I know, that you can use -치고 behind a noun, for example: 외국인치고 한국어를 잘하시네요. So can you use it with verbs too or just putting a time before 치고 like ''1년동안치고''??? Please help !!

(한테 / 에게 / 께 / 에) + (한테서 / 에게서 / ? / 로부터) - HELP ! I try to ask my question in form of example sentences. 1. 친구에게/한테 청바지를 사 줘요. 2. 부모님께 돈을 드려요 3. 꽃에 물을 줘요. 4. 친구한테서 / 에게서 뉴스를 들었어요 5. 부모님___?? 뉴스를 들었어요? 6. 회사로부터 뉴스를 들었어요 ? My question is a) For 'non living things' (like flowers) you use -에, right? (Example 3). So would you use for 회사 or 법원 -에 too ? Because 'they are not living things, but people work in it?' for example 회사에 신청서를 보냈어요. ?? b) What do you use for example 5? 께 again ? or something totally different? It must be a polite marker, right? c) Is example 6 correct? I would be so greatful, if somebody could help me out ! :)

''그 사람이 누구였지 ?'' - Impolite in front of superiors? I have a question about the grammar '-지요'. This grammar has a lot of meanings and one of them is to kind of ask a question to yourself. For example: 그 사람이 누구였지? ''Ah, who was that person again?… I just knew it and now I can’t remember who it was'' My question is, if I can use it for example infront of a teacher or do you use '그 사람이 누구였죠?' You do not ask the teacher. You ask this question to yourself, but is it impolite to use 그 사람이 누구였지? if you are in front of somebody, who you should pay more respect ? Thank you in advance !
