Questions & Answers about osjang ane osi manhayo.
What does 옷장 mean?
옷장 is a compound of 옷 (clothes) + 장 (cabinet), so it means “wardrobe” or “closet.”
What does 안에 in 옷장 안에 indicate, and how does it differ from 속에?
안에 = “inside of.” It’s 안 (inside) + the location marker -에. 속에 also means “inside,” but is often a bit more formal or used for abstract “insides.” In everyday speech about physical spaces, 안에 is more common.
Why is 이 attached to 옷 in 옷이 많아요?
이 is the subject marker for nouns ending in a consonant. It marks 옷 as the subject (“clothes”) of the sentence.
Why don’t we use the topic marker 은/는 instead of 이?
은/는 (e.g., 옷은) would set “clothes” as the topic or contrast it with something else. Here the speaker simply states that clothes exist in quantity, so the neutral subject marker 이 is more natural.
