Questions & Answers about jumaredo ireul haeyo.
What does 에도 mean, and how does it work in 주말에도?
에도 is a combination of two particles: 에 (marks time or place, “on/at/in”) + 도 (“also” or “even”). Together, 에도 can be translated as “even on” or “also on.” So in 주말에도, you’re saying “even on weekends” or “also on weekends.”
Why must it be 주말에도 and not just 주말도?
Time expressions like 주말 need the time-marker 에 to mean “on weekends” → 주말에. If you want to add 도 (“also/even”), it attaches after 에, giving 주말에도.
- 주말도 (without 에) would treat “weekend” as a topic or contrast, not as the time of an action, and can sound unnatural here.
How is 주말에도 different from 주말만?
- 주말에도 = even on weekends / also on weekends. It implies you do something at times beyond what’s expected (e.g. weekdays + weekends).
- 주말만 = only on weekends. It limits the action exclusively to weekends.
