Questions & Answers about jumini bulbeop tugireul singohaessseupnida.

Why is 주민 followed by 이?

이 is the subject marker. It marks 주민 as the person doing the action.

So in this sentence:

• 주민이 = the resident / a resident as the subject
• 신고했습니다 = reported

A native English speaker may want to translate 이 directly, but it usually does not have a separate English word. Its job is grammatical: it tells you who performed the action.

Why is 불법 투기 followed by 를?

를 is the object marker. It marks 불법 투기 as the thing being reported.

So:

• 불법 투기를 = illegal dumping as the object
• 신고했습니다 = reported

This is a very common Korean pattern:

• A이/가 B를 V
• Subject + object + verb

Here, the resident is the subject, and the illegal dumping is the object.
