Questions & Answers about madaereul honja umjigiji masipsio.

What does 마대 mean here?

마대 usually means a sack, bag, or large woven bag, often the kind used for grain, sand, trash, or industrial materials. In real-life signs or workplace instructions, it often refers to a heavy bag/sack that should not be handled carelessly.

Why is 를/을 missing after 마대? Shouldn’t it be 마대를?

In this sentence, it actually is there: 마대를.

• 마대 = sack
• 를 = object marker

So 마대를 means the sack as the direct object of the verb 움직이다/움직이다 in causative-like use here = to move.

What does 혼자 mean in this sentence?

혼자 means alone or by oneself.

So 마대를 혼자 움직이지 마십시오 means something like:

• Do not move the sack by yourself
• Do not move the sack alone

It tells the listener that this is not something one person should do without help.

Why is 혼자 placed before 움직이지 마십시오?
