Questions & Answers about haksaengege chuga hyetaegi isseoyo.

What does the particle -에게 do here, and why is it used with 학생?

• -에게 marks the recipient or beneficiary (to/for someone).
• With 학생, it signals that the additional benefits are directed to students (benefits for students).

Can I use -한테 instead of -에게?

• Yes. -한테 is the more casual, conversational counterpart to -에게.
• Register:
  • 학생에게 추가 혜택이 있어요. (neutral/polite)
  • 학생한테 추가 혜택이 있어요. (casual/polite)
  • -께 is the honorific form (for someone you honor): e.g., 고객님께 안내가 있습니다. Avoid using -께 for students unless you intentionally want to honor them, which is unusual.

Why not use -에 instead of -에게?

• -에 is mainly locative/temporal (at, in, on; at a time).
• 학생에 is ungrammatical in this meaning. Use 학생에게 (or 학생한테) to mark a human recipient/beneficiary.

What’s the nuance if I say 학생에게는?

• Adding -는 makes a contrastive/topic nuance: 학생에게는 추가 혜택이 있어요 ≈ “As for students, there are additional benefits (implying maybe others don’t).”
• In speech, 에게는 often contracts to 에겐: 학생에겐.

Why does 혜택 take -이? Could I use -은/-는 instead?
