Questions & Answers about gomujanggabe piga boyeossseupnida.

Why is 고무장갑 one word, and what does it literally mean?

고무장갑 is a compound noun:

• 고무 = rubber
• 장갑 = gloves

So it literally means rubber gloves. In Korean, compound nouns like this are very common and are often written as a single word.

Also, Korean nouns usually do not show singular vs. plural unless needed, so 고무장갑 can mean:

• a rubber glove
• rubber gloves

The exact number depends on context.

Why is the particle 에 used after 고무장갑?

Here, 에 marks the place or surface where something is found or appears.

So 고무장갑에 피가 보였습니다 means something like:

• blood was visible on the rubber glove(s)
• blood appeared on the rubber glove(s)

In English, we often say on, but Korean often uses 에 for a location broadly, including surfaces.

You can think of 고무장갑에 as on the rubber glove(s) or in/at the rubber glove area, depending on context.

Why is it 피가, not 피를?
