Questions & Answers about jeonyeogeneun chikineul sikyeoseo gati meokja.

What does the particle in 저녁에는 do? Why not just 저녁에?

• 에 marks time/place (“in/at the evening”).
• Adding 는 makes that time the topic or adds contrast: “As for dinner/evening…”
• Both are natural; 저녁에는 sounds a bit more contrastive/emphatic than 저녁에.

Does 저녁 mean “dinner” or “evening”?

• It can mean either, depending on context.
• With eating verbs, it’s usually understood as “dinner/this evening.”
• For late night, use 밤.

Why is it 치킨을? Can I drop 을?

• 을/를 marks the direct object; after a final consonant (like 치킨), use 을.
• In casual speech, dropping it is common: 치킨 시켜서 같이 먹자 is fine when clear from context.

Is 치킨 the same as 닭 or 닭고기?

• 치킨 in Korea usually means fried chicken (the dish).
• 닭 = the animal; 닭고기 = chicken meat.
• For this sentence, 치킨 is the natural word.

What exactly does 시키다 mean here? How is it different from 주문하다?
