Questions & Answers about eopmuga manhayo, geuraeseo pigonhaeyo.

What does 업무가 많아요 literally mean?

업무 means “tasks” or “work,” 가 is the subject particle, and 많아요 is the polite present form of 많다 (“to be many/much”). So 업무가 많아요 literally means “There is a lot of work.”

Why is 가 used after 업무, instead of 은 or 는?

The particle 가 marks the subject in a neutral, descriptive statement (existence/quantity). 은/는 would mark the topic or imply contrast. Here you’re simply stating “work is a lot,” so 가 is the appropriate choice.

What function does 그래서 serve in this sentence?

그래서 means “so” or “therefore.” It links two independent clauses: the first clause (업무가 많아요) gives the cause, and the second clause (피곤해요) gives the result.

Could I combine these two clauses into one sentence?

Yes. You can use the connective -아서/-어서:
업무가 많아서 피곤해요.
This means exactly the same, but merges cause and effect into one sentence.

Why is the verb 피곤해요 used here? Isn’t 피곤하다 an adjective?
