Questions & Answers about jihacheoreul tamyeon pyeonrihaeyo.

Why is 지하철 followed by 을?

The particle -을/를 marks the direct object. Since 지하철 is the thing you “ride,” you attach 을 (because 지하철 ends in the consonant ㄹ). If the noun ended in a vowel, you would use -를 instead. In other words, “to take the subway” is 지하철을 타다, so 지하철 must carry the object marker 을.

What role does -면 play in 타면?

-면 is the conditional suffix. You attach it to a verb stem to mean “if/when [you] do [that verb].”
• Verb: 타다 (to ride)
• Stem: 타-
• + -면 → 타면 = “if/when (you) ride”

Why is it 타면 and not 타으면?

Korean has two conditional endings: -면 and -으면.
• If the verb stem ends in a vowel (like 타-), you use -면.
• If it ends in a consonant (e.g. 먹-), you use -으면 → 먹으면.
