Questions & Answers about pilgisiheom munjereul meonjeo hwaginhaessseupnida.
What does 필기시험 mean exactly?
필기시험 means written test/exam.
It is made of:
- 필기 = writing, written work
- 시험 = test, exam
So 필기시험 contrasts with things like:
- 면접시험 = interview test
- 실기시험 = practical/performance test
In this sentence, it tells you what kind of exam the questions belong to.
Why is 문제 marked with 를?
를 is the object particle. It marks 문제 as the thing that was checked/confirmed.
So:
- 문제 = questions/problems
- 문제를 = the questions (as the object of the verb)
In other words, the speaker checked the exam questions.
Does 문제 mean problem or question here?
It can mean either, depending on context. In everyday Korean:
- 문제 = problem
- 시험 문제 = test question(s)
In this sentence, because it is about an exam, 문제 means questions rather than problems in the general sense.
