Questions & Answers about naeilbuteo sugang sincheongi sijakdwae.

What does 내일부터 break down into, and what does it mean?
내일부터 = 내일 (tomorrow) + 부터 (from). Together it literally means “from tomorrow,” i.e. “starting tomorrow.”
How does the time particle 부터 function here?
부터 marks the starting point in time or space. When attached to a time expression (like 내일), it means “from [that time].” You could contrast it with 까지 (“until”), as in 내일부터 다음주까지 (“from tomorrow until next week”).
What is 수강 신청, literally and functionally?

수강 신청 is a compound noun:

  • 수강 comes from 듣다 (to take a course) + 강 (lecture), so it means “taking a course.”
  • 신청 means “application” or “registration.”
    Put together, 수강 신청 means “course registration.”
Why do we attach to 신청, and why not 은/는?
  • is the subject marker for nouns ending in a consonant (신청 ends in ㅇ).
  • It simply marks “수강 신청” as the subject of 시작돼 (“registration starts”).
  • You could use 은/는 to add contrast or topic emphasis, but here is the neutral subject marker.
What is 시작돼, and how is it related to 시작되다?
  • The base verb is 시작되다 (“to begin,” literally “to be started”).
  • In everyday speech, 되다
    • -어 (a common contraction of 되어).
  • So 시작돼 is the casual present form meaning “(it) starts” or “(it) will begin.”
How does the contraction from 시작되어 to 시작돼 happen?
  1. 시작되다 + 어 (present casual connective) → 시작되어
  2. 돼 is the spoken contraction of 되어 (dropping the ㅎ and merging vowels).
  3. Without the polite , you get 시작돼 in informal speech.
What level of speech or politeness is this sentence? Why is there no at the end?
  • 시작돼 (without ) is the plain informal style (반말).
  • It’s suitable among close friends, classmates, or in casual announcements.
  • To make it polite (존댓말), you’d say 시작돼요 or the more formal 시작됩니다.
How would you express the same idea more formally or politely?
  • Polite casual: 내일부터 수강 신청이 시작돼요.
  • Formal polite: 내일부터 수강 신청이 시작됩니다.
