Questions & Answers about gageeseo harin panmaereul haeyo.

What does the particle 에서 indicate in 가게에서 할인 판매를 해요?

에서 marks the location where an action occurs. Here it means “at the store.” So 가게에서 literally is “at the shop/store.”

What exactly does 할인 판매 mean, and is it one word or two?

할인 means “discount,” and 판매 means “sale” or “selling.” Together they form the compound noun 할인 판매, “discount sale.” It’s technically two Sino-Korean nouns used together as one concept.

Why is it 판매를 해요 instead of simply 판매해요?

판매하다 is a verb made from the noun 판매 + 하다 (“to do”). You can either write it together as 판매해요 or separate the noun with the object particle 를—판매를 해요—for clarity or emphasis. Both are correct and mean “sell” or “do a sale.”

Could I use 팔다 instead of 판매하다 here?

Yes. 팔다 is the native Korean verb “to sell.” If you want to say “They sell things at a discount in the store,” you could also say:
가게에서 물건을 할인해서 팔아요.
Note that 할인해서 팔아요 literally means “sell by discounting.”

How can I change this sentence to be more formal or more casual?
