Questions & Answers about jeonyeoge peuraipaene yachaewa gogireul bokkayo.

What does 저녁에 mean, and why is 에 used here?

저녁에 means “in the evening.” The particle 에 attached to a time noun indicates “at” or “in” a specific time. Here it tells us when the action takes place: in the evening.

Why is 에 used after 프라이팬? Can't we use 에서 to mean “in the frying pan”?

Both 에 and 에서 can mark a place, but for verbs like 볶다 (to stir-fry), Korean often uses 에 to show the “container” or vessel you cook in. You’re not emphasizing the location “where” but rather the medium (“into the pan”). Saying 프라이팬에서 볶아요 would still be understood (“at/from the frying pan”), but 프라이팬에 볶아요 is more idiomatic when you add ingredients into the pan and stir-fry them.

What part of speech is 프라이팬, and why is it written in Hangul?

프라이팬 is a loanword from English frying pan, adapted to Korean pronunciation and spelling. Hangul is used to write foreign words phonetically, so frying pan becomes 프라이팬.

Why does only 고기 take the object particle 를, while 야채 is followed by 와?
