Questions & Answers about ojeone hoeuiga isseoyo.
What does 오전 mean, and how is it different from 아침?
오전 literally means AM or morning (time before noon) used for clock‐based scheduling, e.g. 오전 10시 (10 AM). 아침 refers to the early part of the day when you wake up and have breakfast—it’s more about the routine than a precise time slot.
What role does -에 play in 오전에?
-에 is a particle that marks time or place, translating roughly as “at” or “in.” Attached to 오전, 오전에 means “in the morning” or “during the forenoon.”
Why is 회의 marked with -가 instead of the object marker -을/를?
Because 있다 is an intransitive verb of existence/possession, its noun takes the subject marker -가 (or -이 after a consonant). 회의가 있다 literally means “a meeting exists,” which Koreans understand as “I have a meeting.”
How does 있어요 convey “have” in this sentence?
있어요 is the polite present tense of 있다. To say “I have X,” Korean speakers say “X exists” (회의가 있어요 = “there is a meeting”), and context makes it clear who has it.
