Questions & Answers about iryoil achimeneun ijjok gongwoneseo joginghaeyo.

What does 일요일 아침에는 mean?
일요일 means “Sunday,” 아침 means “morning.” The particle -에는 attaches to a time expression to make it the topic or to contrast it with other times. So 일요일 아침에는 literally means “as for Sunday mornings…” or “on Sunday mornings….”
Why use -에는 instead of -에 after 아침?
  • -에 marks a point in time or place.
  • -는 is the topic/contrast particle.
    When combined as -에는, it not only locates the event at a certain time but also highlights “Sunday mornings” as the topic or as contrasted with other times.
What does 이쪽 공원에서 mean?
  • 이쪽 means “this side” or “this direction,” implying something near the speaker.
  • 공원 means “park.”
  • -에서 marks the location where an action takes place.
    So 이쪽 공원에서 = “at this park” (the park on this side/direction).
Why is 에서 used after 공원 instead of 에?
  • -에 is used for static location (where something is or exists) or destination.
  • -에서 is used for the place where an action or event occurs.
    Because 조깅해요 (“jog”) is an action, you use 공원에서 “at the park.”
How is 조깅해요 formed and what does it mean?
  • 조깅 is the loanword “jogging.”
  • 하다 is “to do.”
  • The polite present tense ending -해요 is added to 하다.
    So 조깅하다 → drop 다, add -해요 = 조깅해요, meaning “(I) jog” or “(I) go jogging.”
What’s the word order in this Korean sentence?

Korean typically follows:

  1. Time expression (일요일 아침에는)
  2. Place expression (이쪽 공원에서)
  3. Verb at the end (조깅해요)
    The subject (e.g., “I”) is omitted when it’s clear from context.
There’s no subject in the sentence. Who is jogging?

In Korean, subjects are often dropped if they’re clear. Here, it’s understood that the speaker is talking about themselves (“I”). If you need to specify, you can add 저는 or 나는 at the start:
“저는 일요일 아침에는 이쪽 공원에서 조깅해요.”

How would you change this to past or future tense?
  • Past tense: change -해요 to -했어요
    일요일 아침에는 이쪽 공원에서 조깅했어요.
  • Future tense: use -할 거예요
    일요일 아침에는 이쪽 공원에서 조깅할 거예요.
Is 이쪽 공원 the same as 여기 공원?
  • 여기 means “here,” pointing to the exact spot.
  • 이쪽 means “this side” or “this direction,” a bit less precise, often contrasting with 저쪽 (“that side over there”).
    Use 여기 공원 if you want to say “the park right here,” and 이쪽 공원 if you mean “the park on this side/direction.”
