Questions & Answers about i daneoui tteusi jal ihaedwaeyo.
What does the particle 의 do in 이 단어의 뜻?
의 is the possessive particle (like ’s in English). It links 이 단어 (this word) to 뜻 (meaning) to form “the meaning of this word.”
Why are there two 이 in 이 단어의 뜻이?
- The first 이 is the demonstrative adjective meaning this, modifying 단어.
- The second 이 is the subject marker attached to 뜻, marking it as the grammatical subject of 이해돼요.
Why is there no object marker (을/를) after 뜻?
Because we’re using the passive/intransitive verb 이해되다 (“to be understood”). In this structure, the thing being understood becomes the subject (with 이/가), not the object (with 을/를).
What does 잘 modify in this sentence?
잘 is an adverb meaning well (or easily). It modifies the verb 이해돼요 to express that the meaning is “well understood.”
Why use 이해돼요 instead of 이해해요?
