Questions & Answers about baesong gisaga gongdong hyeongwan ape dochakhaessseupnida.
What does 배송 기사 mean exactly?
배송 기사 means delivery driver, courier, or delivery worker, depending on context.
- 배송 = delivery, shipping
- 기사 = driver/operator/worker in many contexts
A useful thing to remember is that 기사 has several meanings in Korean. It can also mean article/news story, but in a sentence like this, it clearly means a person doing a transportation-related job.
Why is there no particle between 배송 and 기사?
Because 배송 기사 works as a single noun phrase, like delivery driver in English.
Here, 배송 directly modifies 기사:
- 배송 기사 = delivery driver
You do not need 의 here. Saying 배송의 기사 would sound unnatural in this meaning.
Why is 가 attached to 기사?
가 is the subject marker. It marks 배송 기사 as the subject of the sentence.
So:
- 배송 기사가 = the delivery driver (as the subject)
The sentence is saying that the delivery driver is the one who arrived.
