Questions & Answers about geuphaeseo deiteoreul kyeossneunde yogeumi manhi nawa beoryeosseo.
What does 급해서 mean here, and how is it formed?
급해서 comes from the adjective 급하다 (to be urgent / to be in a hurry) + -아서/어서 (because, or so).
So 급해서 = because (I was) in a hurry / since it was urgent.
In this sentence, the subject (I) is omitted, which is very common in Korean.
Why is -아서/어서 used after 급하-, and why is it 급해서 (not something else)?
The connective -아서/어서 attaches to the adjective/verb stem:
- 급하- + -어서 → 급해서
It’s -어서 (not -아서) because many stems take either form depending on pronunciation patterns; 하 + 어 → 해 is also common, but 급하다 becomes 급해서 specifically.
Meaning-wise, -아서/어서 gives a natural “reason → result” flow: Because it was urgent, I turned on data…
What exactly does 데이터를 켜다 mean? Is it “turn on data” like on a phone?
Yes. 데이터(를) 켜다 is commonly used to mean turn on mobile data (cellular data).
- 켜다 = to turn on (power/setting)
So it’s like enabling the data connection on your phone.
Why is there no object particle after 데이터? Shouldn’t it be 데이터를?
