Questions & Answers about gyeoljereul wanryohaesseoyo.
What does each part of the sentence do?
- 결제: “payment” (a noun)
- 를: object marker (marks 결제 as the thing acted on)
- 완료했어요: past/present-perfect polite form of 완료하다 “to complete” So it’s literally: “(I) payment-OBJ completed.”
Who is the subject here?
It’s omitted and understood from context. By default, it often means “I.” To say it explicitly, use:
- 제가 결제를 완료했어요. (I completed the payment.) Use 제가 (subject marker) to emphasize that you are the one who did it.
Why is it 를 and not 을 after 결제?
을/를 is chosen by the noun’s final sound:
- After a consonant: 을
- After a vowel: 를 결제 ends in a vowel sound, so 결제를 is correct.
Can I drop the object particle 를?
Often yes in casual speech: 결제 완료했어요. Koreans frequently omit 을/를. In careful or formal writing, keep 를 to be clear: 결제를 완료했어요.
What politeness level is 했어요? When would I change it?
