Questions & Answers about jeogi gongwone sarami manhayo.

What role does 저기 play in 저기 공원에 사람이 많아요?

저기 is a locative adverb meaning over there. It sets the general location (the park) as being some distance away from both speaker and listener before you state what’s happening there.

Why is the noun 공원 followed by -에 and not -에서?

-에 marks a static location where something exists, which suits descriptive verbs like 많다. In contrast, -에서 marks the place where an action occurs. Since 사람이 많다 describes how many people are present, you use 공원에.

Why is 사람 followed by the subject marker -이 and not the topic marker -은?

Descriptive verbs like 많다 take a subject, so you use the subject marker -이/가. If you used -은, you’d be making 사람 into the topic (“As for people…”), which changes the nuance.

Why isn’t a plural marker -들 used with 사람?

Korean often omits -들 when plurality is already clear from context or quantifiers. Here, 많다 (“many”) implies more than one, so adding -들 would be redundant.
