Questions & Answers about chinguwa sikdangeseo babeul meogeoyo.
What role does the particle 와 play in 친구와?
Why is 에서 used after 식당 instead of 에?
에서 marks the location of an action (“at the restaurant”). In contrast, 에 simply marks existence or destination (“to the restaurant” or “in the restaurant”). Since you’re eating there, use 식당에서.
Why does 밥 take the object particle -을 instead of -를?
Korean has two object particles: -을 after consonants and -를 after vowels. Since 밥 ends in the consonant ㅂ, you attach -을, giving 밥을.
What form is 먹어요, and why is it used here?
먹어요 is the polite present form of 먹다 (“to eat”). It’s commonly used in everyday conversation when you want to sound polite but not overly formal.
Why isn’t there a subject like “I” or “we” in this sentence?
