Questions & Answers about gyeoure nunsarameul mandeureoyo.

What is the meaning and function of -에 in 겨울에?

The particle -에 here marks time. 겨울에 literally means “in winter.” It indicates when the action takes place.

Why is 눈사람을 used instead of just 눈사람?

-을 is the object particle. It attaches to 눈사람 (“snowman”) to show that it’s the direct object of the verb 만들어요 (“make”).

What form of the verb is 만들어요, and what tense/politeness level does it indicate?

만들어요 is the present-tense, informal polite form of 만들다 (“to make”). It’s commonly used in daily conversation when you’re speaking politely but not overly formally.

Why is there no subject like I or we in this sentence?

Korean often omits the subject when it’s clear from context. Here the implied subject is “I” or “we”. Adding 저는 (“as for me, I”) or 우리는 (“as for us, we”) is possible but not necessary.

Can you make this sentence more formal or more casual?

Yes.

• More formal (deferential): 겨울에 눈사람을 만듭니다.
• More casual (close friends/family): 겨울에 눈사람을 만들어.

Does 만들어요 here mean a one‐time action or a habitual action?

Korean present tense can express both. Without extra context, 겨울에 눈사람을 만들어요 could mean “I make snowmen in winter” (habitually) or “I am making a snowman this winter.” Context or additional words (like 매년 “every year”) clarify which.
