Questions & Answers about sikkeureowoseo joyonghan dero gayo.
What does -아서/어서 (as in 시끄러워서) mean and how does it connect the two parts?
-아서/어서 links a reason/cause to a result/action. In this sentence, 시끄러워서 gives the reason, and 조용한 데로 가요 is the action that follows.
- Pattern: (reason) + -아서/어서 + (action/result)
- Common translation range: because, since, so (depending on context)
Example:
- 비가 와서 집에 있어요. = It’s raining, so I’m at home.
Why is it 시끄럽다 → 시끄러워서? What happened to the ㅂ?
시끄럽다 follows the ㅂ-irregular conjugation. When a verb/adjective stem ends in ㅂ, the ㅂ often changes to 우/오 before -아/어.
- 시끄럽- + -어서 → 시끄러워서
Similar:
- 덥다 → 더워서
- 춥다 → 추워서
What is 조용한 grammatically? Why not 조용해/조용히?
조용한 is the attributive (modifier) form of the descriptive verb 조용하다, used to modify a noun:
- 조용한 데 = a quiet place
If you use 조용히, that’s an adverb meaning quietly, so it would change the meaning:
- 조용히 가요 = (We/I) go quietly (not “to a quiet place”).
