Why is 날씨가 marked with -가 instead of -는?
-가 is the subject particle used when introducing new information or emphasizing the subject. -는 is the topic particle, often used for general statements or contrast. Here, the speaker highlights the weather as the reason for not watching a movie, so 가 is more natural.
What does 안 좋아서 mean and why is it formed this way?
안 좋다 means “to be not good.” Adding -아서/어서 to an adjective stem creates a connective ending meaning “because” or “and so.” The negative adjective stem 안 좋- plus -아서 becomes 안 좋아서, meaning “because it’s not good.”
Why is it 영화를 보지 않아 instead of 영화를 보지 않는다 or 영화를 보지 않아요?
