Questions & Answers about saramdeuri doseogwaneseo gongbuhaeyo.

What does 들 in 사람들 indicate?

들 is the general plural marker in Korean. It attaches to a noun to show “more than one.”

  • 사람 (person) → 사람들 (people)
  • 친구 (friend) → 친구들 (friends)
    It’s often optional if plurality is clear from context, but adding 들 removes ambiguity.
Why does 사람들 end with 이 (making 사람들이)?

이/가 are subject particles.

  • Use 이 after a noun ending in a consonant (사람들 → 사람들이).
  • Use 가 after a noun ending in a vowel.
    They mark the noun as the grammatical subject of the sentence.
Why is the library marked with -에서 (도서관에서) instead of -에 or -을/를?

- 도서관에서 uses -에서 to show where the action happens (“at the library”).
- -에 can mark location of existence (“is at the library”) or direction (“to the library”).
- -을/를 is the object marker, but here the library isn’t being “studied” as an object; it’s the place where studying takes place.

How do you form 공부해요 from the dictionary form 공부하다?

공부하다 is a 하다-verb. To make the polite present tense:

  1. Drop -다 from the dictionary form → 공부하
  2. Replace 하다 with 해요 → 공부해요
What politeness level is -해요 in 공부해요?

-해요 is the polite informal style (해요체). It’s respectful enough for most daily conversations with strangers, colleagues, or acquaintances.

  • More formal: -합니다 (합니다체)
  • More casual/familiar: -해 (반말)
Why does the verb come at the end of the sentence?

Korean generally follows Subject–Object–Verb (SOV) order. In this case:

  1. Subject: 사람들이
  2. (Adverbial) Location: 도서관에서
  3. Verb: 공부해요
Can you omit 사람들이 or other parts if context is clear?

Yes. Korean often drops subjects or other elements when they’re understood.

  • 도서관에서 공부해요 alone can mean “I/We/They study at the library,” depending on context.
How do you pronounce or romanize 사람들이 도서관에서 공부해요?
