Questions & Answers about jeo chingureul mannayo.

What does 저 친구 mean, and how is it different from 이 친구 or 그 친구?

저, 이, and 그 are Korean demonstratives:

• 이 친구 = “this friend” (near the speaker)
• 그 친구 = “that friend” (near the listener)
• 저 친구 = “that friend over there” (far from both speaker and listener)

Why does 저 친구 take -를 in 저 친구를 만나요?

만나다 (“to meet”) is a transitive verb, so whatever you meet must receive the object marker -을/를. Since 친구 ends in a vowel, you attach 를: 친구를.

Why is there no explicit subject in 저 친구를 만나요?

Korean often omits the subject when it’s clear from context. The speaker could be I, we, you or even he/she. If you need to specify, you can add a topic/subject:

• 저는 저 친구를 만나요 (“I meet that friend.”)
• 우리는 저 친구를 만나요 (“We meet that friend.”)
