Questions & Answers about ipjangryoga eolmainji miri mureobwasseoyo.

What does 입장료 mean in English?

입장료 literally means “entrance fee” or “admission charge,” the amount of money you pay to enter a place like a museum, concert, or theme park.

Why is the particle -가 used after 입장료 instead of -은/는 or -를?

Here -가 marks 입장료 as the subject of the embedded question (입장료가 얼마인지). While -는 would make it a topic marker (adding contrast or emphasis) and -를 would mark it as an object, -가 is the default subject marker used when simply asking “how much the admission fee is.”

What is the function of 얼마인지, and why attach -인지 to 얼마?

-인지 is an indirect question marker that turns “얼마” (“how much”) into a noun clause meaning “(the question of) how much ….” In other words, 얼마인지 = “how much it is,” serving as the object of 물어봤어요.

Could we use 얼마나 instead of 얼마인지 here?

No. 얼마나 is an adverb meaning “how much/many” used directly with verbs/adjectives (e.g., 얼마나 비싸요?). For embedded questions as objects of verbs like 물어보다, you need a noun clause, so you use 얼마인지 (or 얼마인지 되는지).
