Questions & Answers about chinguga nae ireumeul jalmos ilgeoseo dasi malhaesseoyo.

Why is 잘못 used before 읽어서?

잘못 is an adverb meaning “incorrectly” or “wrongly.” When you put it before a verb (like 읽다), it indicates the action was done in the wrong way—so 잘못 읽다 means “to read (or pronounce) something incorrectly.”

What does 읽어서 mean in this sentence?

Here, 읽어서 is the connective form of 읽다 plus the suffix -아서/어서, which links two clauses. It literally means “because (he) read,” so 읽어서 means “because (my friend) read it incorrectly.”

How is the -아서/어서 ending different from -고?

Use -아서/어서 to show cause or reason (“because X happened, Y happened”). Use -고 when you simply list two actions in sequence without implying a reason (“X happened and then Y happened”).

Who is the subject of 다시 말했어요—my friend or me?

It’s me, the speaker. In Korean you often drop the subject when it’s clear from context. Here the friend misread your name, so you repeated it. If you wanted to specify, you could say 제가 다시 말했어요.

Why is 내 이름 used instead of 제 이름?
