Learn Hardcore Korean: ibeon jumare bakmulgwan gugyeongeul dasi haeyo. - I’ll look around the museum again this weekend.

In Korean, 에 marks a specific time when something happens. Since 이번 주말 means “this weekend,” adding 에 turns it into “on this weekend” or “at this weekend.” So 이번 주말에 = “this weekend (at/on).”

Why is there no particle like 에 or 에서 after 박물관?

Here 박물관 구경 is a single noun phrase meaning “museum sightseeing” or “looking around the museum.” We don’t treat 박물관 as a location with its own particle; instead the whole phrase 박물관 구경 becomes the object of 하다.

What does 구경을 하다 mean and why do we put 을 after 구경?

구경하다 means “to look around,” “to tour,” or “to sightsee.” Grammatically, 구경 is a noun and 하다 is the verb “to do,” so you attach the object marker 을 to the noun (구경을) and then add 하다: 구경을 하다 = “do sightseeing.”

Why is 다시 placed before 해요, and what nuance does it add?

다시 means “again” or “once more.” In Korean, adverbs like 다시 typically go right before the verb or verb phrase they modify. Here 다시 해요 tells us you are repeating the action—“do it again.”

What does the ending 해요 tell us about the sentence?

해요 is the polite present-tense form of 하다. It’s neutral polite speech, often used in everyday conversation. Depending on context, it can describe a habitual action, a current plan, or simply state what “we do/are doing.”

Why is there no subject like 저는 or 우리는 in this sentence?

Korean often drops the subject when it’s clear from context or unnecessary. If you and your listener both know who’s going, you can omit 저는 (“I”) or 우리는 (“we”). The implied subject is understood.

What is the typical word order in this Korean sentence?

Korean generally follows:
• Time expression → Place (or object) → Adverb → Verb
In our sentence:
• 이번 주말에 (time)
• 박물관 구경을 (object)
• 다시 (adverb)
• 해요 (verb)
