Learn Hardcore Korean: jeogi changmuneul dada juseyo. - Please close that window over there.

저기 means “over there” or “that place.” It indicates a spot relatively far from both the speaker and the listener. In this sentence, the speaker is pointing out the window’s location or gesturing toward it.

Why is 창문을 used instead of just 창문?

The particle 을 marks 창문 (window) as the direct object of the verb 닫다 (to close). Korean uses object particles (을/를) to show what is being acted upon.

What is the function of -아 주세요 in 닫아 주세요?

-아/어 주세요 attaches to a verb stem to form a polite request meaning “please do [verb] for me/us.” Here 닫아 is the verb stem of 닫다, so 닫아 주세요 literally means “please close (it) for me.”

Why is it 닫아 주세요 instead of 닫으세요?

Both are polite requests, but:
• 닫아 주세요 (please close it for me) implies a favor or request.
• 닫으세요 is the honorific imperative of 닫다, meaning “please close,” without the nuance of doing a favor. Learners often choose -아/어 주세요 to soften the tone and show politeness.

Can I use 닫아 줘 instead of 닫아 주세요?

Yes, but 닫아 줘 is more informal and used among close friends or family. 주시다/주세요 is the honorific form—more polite—so you’d stick with 닫아 주세요 in most everyday polite situations.

Why isn’t the subject included in the sentence?

Korean often omits the subject when it’s clear from context. Here, the implied subject is “you” (the person being asked). Stating 당신 (you) is unnecessary and can sound awkward or too direct.

What is the word order in 저기 창문을 닫아 주세요?

Standard Korean word order is Subject–Object–Verb (SOV). Even though the subject is dropped here, the object 창문을 comes before the verb phrase 닫아 주세요. The location 저기 appears first to set the scene.

Is there a more formal way to say this?

Yes. You could say 저기 창문을 닫아 주시겠습니까? or 저기 창문을 닫아 주십시오. These use more formal verb endings:

-주시겠습니까? for polite questions
-주십시오 for formal imperatives
