Learn Hardcore Korean: keompyuteoreul inteonese yeongyeolhaeyo.

In Korean, subjects are often dropped if they’re clear from context. Here, the speaker (usually “I”) or “we” is understood, so you only need to mention what you’re connecting (컴퓨터) and where (인터넷).

Why is 컴퓨터 followed by -를?

The particle -를 marks the direct object of the verb. It tells you that 컴퓨터 is the thing being connected. If you omit -를, the sentence could become ambiguous about what role 컴퓨터 plays.

Why is 인터넷 followed by -에 instead of -을/를 or -에서?

Here, -에 indicates the target or destination (“to the internet”).

-에: target/destination (connect to the internet)
-에서: location where an action takes place (not applicable when indicating “to” rather than “at”)
-을/를: direct object marker (would incorrectly make “internet” the object)

How do you get 연결해요 from the dictionary form 연결하다?

연결하다 is a 하다-verb (“to connect”). To form the polite present tense:

Remove -다 from 연결하다 → 연결하
Change -하 to -해요 → 연결해요

Why does the sentence order go 컴퓨터를 인터넷에 연결해요 instead of switching the two phrases?

Korean typically follows an S-O-V order (Subject-Object-Verb). While Korean word order is somewhat flexible, the default is:

Object (컴퓨터를)
Location/Target (인터넷에)
Verb (연결해요)
Putting the verb at the end makes the action clear only once you reach it.

Can I say 인터넷에 컴퓨터를 연결해요 instead?

Yes. Korean allows you to swap the two noun phrases because particles mark their grammatical roles. Emphasizing 인터넷에 first shifts focus onto “to the internet,” but the meaning stays the same.

What’s the difference between 연결하다 and 접속하다 when talking about the internet?

연결하다: Emphasizes linking devices or systems (e.g., “connect a computer to the internet” physically or via network).
접속하다: Focuses on logging in or accessing an online service (e.g., “log on to a website”).

How would you say “The computer gets connected to the internet” in Korean?

Use the passive form:
컴퓨터가 인터넷에 연결돼요

-가 marks the subject (컴퓨터)
연결돼요 is the passive of 연결하다, meaning “gets connected.”
