Questions & Answers about doseogwan gyuchigeul jikyeo juseyo.

What does the particle 을 do here, and why is it 을 and not 를?

을/를 marks the direct object of the verb. You use:

• 을 after a noun ending in a consonant (e.g., 규칙
  • 을 → 규칙을).
• 를 after a noun ending in a vowel (e.g., 규정
  • 를 → 규정을). Here, 규칙 ends with a consonant sound, so it takes 을.

Why is there no subject like “you”? Who is being asked?

Korean commonly omits subjects when they’re obvious from context. Imperatives and polite requests usually leave out “you.” Adding 너 or 당신 would sound odd or even rude in most public notices. The sentence addresses readers implicitly.

Is 지켜 주세요 a command or a request? What nuance does it carry?

It’s a polite request with a soft, “do this for us/please” tone. The -아/어 주다 construction adds a benefactive nuance (“do X for someone”), which makes it gentler than a plain command.

How is 지켜 formed from 지키다?

• Verb: 지키다 (to keep/abide by).
• Combine the stem with before the auxiliary : (because ㅣ + 어 contracts to ㅕ). So: .
