Questions & Answers about woryoireneun saeroun juga sijakdoeeoseo gibuni johayo.
What is the nuance of -에는 in 월요일에는?
-에는 here is 에 (time/place marker) + 는 (topic/contrast marker). While 월요일에 simply means “on Monday,” 월요일에는 means “as for Mondays” or “on Mondays (in particular),” implying a contrast with other days or highlighting Mondays as the topic.
Why is it 새로운 주가 instead of just 새 주?
Both 새로운 and 새 can function as “new” before a noun, but:
- 새로운 is the full adjective form, more formal and descriptive.
- 새 is a shorter, colloquial form. In our sentence, 주 (“week”) takes the subject marker 가, so 새로운 주가 means “the new week” (as the subject). You could say 새 주가 in casual speech, but 새로운 주가 is more standard in writing.
What is happening in 시작되어서 grammatically?
- Base verb: 시작되다 (“to be started,” the passive of 시작하다).
- Connector: -어서 (often shortened to -서) links clauses to show cause or sequence.
So 시작되어서 literally means “(it) has been started and…,” implying “because the new week starts…” or “once the new week starts…”
