Questions & Answers about sajin·dongyeongsangeul hyudaepone jeojanghaeyo.
What does the middle dot · between 사진 and 동영상 mean? Can I just use 와/과 or 하고 instead?
It means “and.” It’s the “middle dot” (가운뎃점), common in UI text, menus, and headlines. In ordinary writing/speech you can use a conjunction:
- 사진과 동영상을
- 사진하고 동영상을
- 사진이랑 동영상을 Using the dot doesn’t change the grammar or meaning.
Why does only 동영상 have the object marker -을? Shouldn’t both nouns be marked?
Can I drop -을/를 here?
You often can drop object markers, but here omitting it can look like three nouns in a row. Safer choices:
- Keep it: 사진·동영상을 휴대폰에 저장해요.
- Use a conjunction: 사진과 동영상 저장해요.
- Topicalize: 사진·동영상은 휴대폰에 저장해요. In casual speech, prosody helps, so 사진하고 동영상 저장해요 can sound fine.
What is 에 doing here? Why not 에서?
