Questions & Answers about hyeongwan ap sinbaljangeul jeongrihaesseo.
What does 현관 앞 mean in this sentence?
현관 means “entrance” or “front door,” and 앞 means “in front (of).” Together, 현관 앞 literally means “in front of the entrance” (i.e., the area just outside your front door).
Why is there no particle like 에 after 현관?
When you use 앞 (front) to indicate location with another noun, you form a compound [noun] + 앞 (e.g., 집 앞, 학교 앞, 현관 앞) without adding 에. The word 앞 itself already marks the place.
What does 신발장 mean?
신발장 is a compound noun: 신발 (shoes) + 장 (cabinet, shelf). So 신발장 means “shoe cabinet” or “shoe rack.”
Why is -을 attached to 신발장 (to make 신발장을)?
정리하다 is a transitive verb (“to organize,” “to tidy up”), so its object takes the accusative particle -을/를. Since 신발장 ends in a consonant, you add -을, yielding 신발장을.
