Questions & Answers about naneun hugi myeot gaeman ilggo gasseo.
Why is it 나는 and not 내가? And what about the shorter 난?
- 나는 uses the topic marker, setting “I” as the topic of the sentence. It’s neutral, common in narratives.
- 난 is just a contracted, more casual form of 나는.
- 내가 uses the subject marker and often answers or emphasizes “who” did the action. Using 내가 here would feel contrastive (“I, not someone else, read a few and went”).
Both 나는 and 난 fit well here; choose based on how casual you want to sound.
Why isn’t there an object particle after 후기? Is 후기 몇 개만을 wrong?
When you use 만 (“only”), it typically replaces case particles like 을/를. With counters, object marking is usually omitted. So:
- Natural: 후기 몇 개만 읽고...
- Over-formal/stilted: 후기 몇 개만을 읽고... If you really want an object marker with a slightly different nuance, you can say 후기만 몇 개를, but that means “only reviews (not other things), a few of them.”
What exactly does 후기 mean? Is 리뷰 the same?
