Questions & Answers about hakgyo geonneopyeone yumyeonghan kapega isseoyo.
What does 건너편 mean and how is it related to 건너다?
건너편 means “the opposite side” or “across (from).” It’s formed by adding -편 (side) to the verb stem 건너- (to cross). So 건너다 = “to cross”; 건너편 = “the side you cross to.”
Why is the particle 에 used after 학교 건너편?
The particle 에 marks the location where something exists or an action takes place. In this sentence, 학교 건너편에 means “at/across from the school.”
Why do we use 유명한 instead of 유명이에요 or just 유명?
유명한 is the attributive form of the adjective 유명하다 used to directly modify a noun. You need -한 to connect 유명 to 카페, giving you 유명한 카페 = “a famous café.”
What is the role of 있어요 in this sentence?
있어요 is the polite present form of 있다, which here means “to exist” rather than “to have.” So 카페가 있어요 means “there is a café.”
Why isn’t there a separate subject like “it” or “there” in the sentence?
