Questions & Answers about jumaredo hoesa-e chulgeunhaeyo.
What does 에도 mean in 주말에도?
에도 is a combination of 에 (location/time marker) + 도 (also/even), so 주말에도 means even on weekends.
What's the difference between 주말에도 and 주말도?
Attaching 도 alone means too/also, so 주말도 = weekends too (I do it on weekends as well as other days). But 에도 adds the nuance of even, highlighting that it happens even on weekends, which can sound more surprising or emphatic.
Why is 회사에 used here? What does 에 mark?
에 after 회사 marks the destination (or location) you’re heading to. In this sentence, 회사에 means to the company/office.
What's the difference between 출근해요 and 회사에 가요?
출근하다 means to go to work/report for duty, focusing on the act of starting work. 회사에 가요 literally means go to the office, more neutral and not specifically about beginning your workday.
What's the difference between 출근하다 and 일하다?
출근하다 = to go to work (the action of arriving at work).
일하다 = to work (the action of doing the job).
Why is there no subject in the sentence?
Korean often omits subjects when they’re clear from context. Here the implied subject is 저 (I), so it’s understood you’re talking about yourself.
What level of politeness does -해요 represent?
-해요 is the polite informal style (해요체). It’s polite enough for everyday conversation while still being friendly.
Can we omit 회사에 and just say 주말에도 출근해요?
Yes. If the context makes it clear where you’re going, you can drop 회사에. 주말에도 출근해요 still means I go to work even on weekends.
