Questions & Answers about je keompyuteo hwamyeoni keoyo.

What does 제 mean here and why not 내?

제 is the humble/polite form of 내 (my). It comes from 저 + 의 and is used when you want to speak politely or respectfully. 내 is more casual.

What is 컴퓨터 화면 and how are noun compounds formed in Korean?

컴퓨터 화면 is a noun‐noun compound: 컴퓨터 (computer) + 화면 (screen), meaning “computer screen.” In Korean, the modifying noun comes first, so A B means “B of A.”

Why is 이 attached to 화면? Can I use 가 or 은/는 instead?

이 is the subject marker for nouns ending in a consonant (화면). It marks 화면 as the subject of 커요.

• 가 is the subject marker after vowel-ending nouns.
• 은/는 is the topic marker (e.g., 화면은 커요) used for contrast or known topics.

Is 크다 an adjective or a verb? Why do we say 커요?

In Korean, descriptive adjectives act like verbs (called descriptive verbs). 크다 means “to be big.” In the polite present tense, the stem 크- changes to 커- and takes -요, forming 커요.

What level of politeness is -요? How else can I say this sentence?

The -요 ending is polite informal speech (존댓말).

• More formal: use -습니다 → 제 컴퓨터 화면이 큽니다
• Casual (반말): drop -요 → 제 컴퓨터 화면이 커

How do I express “My computer screen is very big”?

Add an adverb before 커요:
• 아주 → 제 컴퓨터 화면이 아주 커요.
• 매우 → 제 컴퓨터 화면이 매우 커요.
• 너무 → 제 컴퓨터 화면이 너무 커요.
(With 너무, be aware it can mean “too big.”)

Can I omit 제 if context is clear?

Yes. If it’s obvious whose screen you’re talking about, you can simply say 컴퓨터 화면이 커요. Including 제 clarifies “my.”
