Learn Hardcore Korean: chekeuaus hueneun sinae gwangwangeul sijakhaeyo. - After check-out, I start sightseeing in the city.

체크아웃 is a Konglish loanword from English checkout. In Korean, it usually refers to the act of checking out of a hotel or lodging. Here it’s used as a noun: “after the checkout.”

Why is 후에는 used instead of just 후에?

후에 means “after.” By adding the topic particle 는 and making 후에는, you’re saying “as for after (the checkout)…” This gives a bit of emphasis or contrast to that time period, marking it as the topic of the sentence.

What does 시내 mean?

시내 means “downtown” or “city center,” referring to the central, urban part of a town or city.

Why is there a 을 after 시내 관광 in 시내 관광을 시작해요?

The particle 을 marks 시내 관광 (“downtown sightseeing”) as the direct object of the verb 시작해요 (“to start”). It tells us what activity is being started.

Could I say 관광하기 시작해요 instead of 관광을 시작해요?

Yes. 관광하기 시작해요 uses the verb nominalizer -기, literally “begin doing sightseeing.” Both are correct, but 관광을 시작해요 is more commonly used in everyday speech.

Why is 시작해요 in the present tense when it sounds like a future plan?

In Korean, the present tense can describe scheduled or planned future actions. So 시작해요 (“I/we start”) here actually conveys “we will start” in the sense of a plan.
