Questions & Answers about riheoseoreun yeonseupsireseo yeoseos sie sijakhae.

What does -은 in 리허설은 mean?

-은 is the topic particle. It marks 리허설 as the thing being talked about.

So 리허설은 means something like:

• as for the rehearsal
• the rehearsal

In Korean, the topic particle does not always match the English idea of a grammatical subject. It often sets the topic first, and then the rest of the sentence says something about it.

It can also carry a slight contrast depending on context, like as for the rehearsal, ..., but in a simple sentence like this, it usually just marks the topic naturally.

Why is it 연습실에서 and not 연습실에?

-에서 is used for the place where an action or event happens.

Here, 시작해 means starts / begins, and the beginning of the rehearsal is happening in the practice room, so Korean uses 연습실에서.

A simple way to think about it:

• -에 = destination, location of existence, or time
• -에서 = place where an action happens

So:

• 연습실에서 시작해 = it starts in the practice room

Why is it 여섯 시 and not 육 시?
