Questions & Answers about iburi neomu dukkeowoseo yeoreume deowoyo.

What does 이불 mean in this sentence?

이불 is the Korean word for the bedding you pull over yourself at night—essentially a quilt, duvet, or comforter. In Korea it often refers to a thick, padded blanket used on a traditional floor mattress or bed.

Why is it 이불이 and not 이불은?

The particle -이 here is the subject marker (attached because 이불 ends in a consonant). It simply indicates that 이불 is the subject of 두꺼워서 (“because the blanket is thick”). Using -은 (the topic marker) would shift the nuance slightly—to “as for the blanket…”—but -이 is more neutral for stating a subject.

What function does -어서 in 두꺼워서 serve?

The ending -어서 connects two clauses and expresses cause or reason. So 두꺼워서 literally means “because (it is) thick.” It explains why the second clause (여름에 더워요) happens.

Why does 두껍다 change to 두꺼워서 instead of 두껍어서?

Because 두껍다 is a ㅂ-irregular adjective. When a ㅂ-ending stem meets a vowel-initial ending, the ㅂ changes to 우, so:
• 두껍 + 어서 → 두꺼우 + 서 → 두꺼워서.
