Questions & Answers about jawonbongsa jokkireul ipgo gomujanggapgwa sseuregi jipgereul gajyeoosipsio.

Why is 자원봉사 directly in front of 조끼 without 의?

In Korean, nouns very often modify other nouns directly, without 의.

So:

• 자원봉사 조끼 = volunteer vest / vest for volunteer work

This is a very common pattern in Korean:

• 학생 신분증 = student ID
• 겨울 옷 = winter clothes
• 쓰레기 봉투 = trash bag

You could sometimes see 자원봉사의 조끼 in a very different kind of sentence, but here that would sound unnatural. Direct noun + noun is the normal way to say this.

What does 입고 mean here?

입고 is the verb 입다 (to wear) plus -고, a connector meaning something like and.

So:

• 조끼를 입고 = wearing a vest and... / put on a vest and...

In this sentence, it connects two actions:

1. 자원봉사 조끼를 입고 = wear the volunteer vest
2. 고무장갑과 쓰레기 집게를 가져오십시오 = bring rubber gloves and a trash picker

So the full idea is:

• Wear the volunteer vest and bring rubber gloves and a trash picker.

Depending on context, -고 can mean:

• and
• and then
• sometimes just a smooth connection between actions

Here, and or and then both work well.
