Questions & Answers about gongwoni sikdangboda deo keoyo.

What does 공원이 mean, and what is the role of the particle -이/가?

• 공원 means “park.”
• The particle -이/가 marks 공원 as the subject of the sentence (the thing being described).
• Korean also has a topic marker -은/는, but here -이/가 simply focuses on the park as the new or specific subject.

What does the particle -보다 in 식당보다 mean?

• 보다 means “than” when making comparisons.
• 식당보다 literally means “than the restaurant,” setting up the second item in the comparison.

Why do we use 더 if -보다 already marks the comparison?

• 보다 only marks the “than” part (the item you’re comparing to).
• 더 means “more,” and it’s required to form the comparative adjective “more big” → “bigger.”
• Together: 식당보다 더 크다 = “to be more big than the restaurant.”
