Questions & Answers about undongeul hago naseo mureul masyeoyo.
Why is there an 을 after 운동?
을 is the object particle marking 운동 as the direct object of 하다 (“to exercise”). In Korean, particles like 을/를 show that the preceding noun is what the verb acts upon.
What part of speech is 운동, and why is 하다 attached?
운동 is a noun meaning “exercise.” To turn it into a verb phrase (“to exercise”), you add 하다. So 운동하다 literally means “do exercise.”
What does -고 나서 mean, and how is it different from just -고?
-고 나서 means “after doing [action],” emphasizing that the first action is fully completed before the next one begins. -고 alone simply connects two actions (“and”) without stressing the sequence or completion.
Can I say 운동하고 물을 마셔요 instead of 운동을 하고 나서 물을 마셔요?
You can, but 운동하고 물을 마셔요 reads more like “I exercise and drink water” (actions listed). By adding -고 나서, you make it clear you first finish exercising and then drink water.
Why is 물 marked with 을 here?
