Questions & Answers about ije da gati sajineul jjigeulkkayo?
What does 이제 mean and why is it used here?
이제 means “now,” “at this moment,” or “from now on.” In this sentence it signals that the speaker is ready to start the action right away (“Now, shall we…”).
What does 다 같이 mean, and how is it different from 모두 or 함께?
- 다 같이 literally means “all together” and is common in spoken Korean.
- 모두 means “everyone” or “all” (a noun) and often needs 같이 if you want “together” (모두 같이).
- 함께 also means “together” but is a bit more formal or literary than 다 같이.
Why is 사진을 marked with 을?
을 is the object particle that marks 사진 as the direct object of the verb 찍다 (to take [a photo]). Without it, the listener wouldn’t know what is being taken.
How do you form ~을까요 versus ~ㄹ까요, and why is it 찍을까요 here?
- If a verb stem ends in a consonant, you add -을까요.
- If it ends in a vowel, you add -ㄹ까요.
Since the stem 찍 ends in the consonant ㄲ, you use 찍- -을까요 = 찍을까요.
