Questions & Answers about yogeumeul kadeuro gyeoljehal su isseoyo.
What does 요금 mean here, and how is it different from 가격 or 비용?
요금 is a fee/fare/charge, often for a service (e.g., taxi fare, admission fee, usage fee).
- 가격 = the price of an item (a “sticker price”).
- 비용 = cost/expense in a broader sense (often used in accounting or talking about expenses).
In this sentence, 요금 sounds natural for “the charge/fee” you need to pay.
Why is 요금을 marked with -을/를?
-을/를 marks the direct object of the verb. The verb is 결제하다 (to pay/settle a payment), and what you pay is 요금 → 요금을 결제하다 = “to pay the fee.”
Why do we use 카드로 and not 카드를?
-로 here means by means of / using (the method/instrument).
So 카드로 결제하다 = “to pay by card / using a card.”
If you say 카드를, it tends to mean “the card” as an object (e.g., “take the card,” “hand over the card”), which doesn’t match the “payment method” meaning as cleanly.
