Questions & Answers about ppallaega da kkeutnamyeon geonjogie olmgyeoyo.

Why is 다 used in 다 끝나면? What does it add?

다 means “completely” or “all.” When you say 다 끝나다, you’re emphasizing that the laundry is fully finished before you move it. Without 다, 끝나면 could sound like it’s only partly done.

What is the function of -면 in 끝나면?

The suffix -면 attaches to a verb stem to form a conditional clause meaning “if/when.” Here, 끝나면 means “when (it) finishes.”

Why do we use 건조기에 here, with 에? Could we use 에서 or no particle?

With movement verbs like 옮기다 (“to move/transfer”), the destination takes -에 (to).
– 건조기에 옮겨요 = “I move it to the dryer.”
Using 에서 would mark the origin (“from”), and omitting a particle isn’t grammatical for direction.

What does 옮겨요 mean? Could we use another verb like 보내요 or 움직여요?

옮기다 means “to move/transfer something from one place to another.”
– 옮겨요 is the polite present form.
You could say 움직여요, but that focuses on tiny shifts. 보내요 means “to send” and wouldn’t naturally describe moving laundry into a machine.

Why is it 빨래가 instead of 빨래은/는?
