Questions & Answers about jigeum imeireul hwaginhajamaja dapjanghalgeyo.
What does 지금 mean here—now or right now?
지금 literally means now, and in this sentence it usually implies right now / as soon as possible. It sets the time frame for the promise: you’re saying you’ll reply promptly once you check the email.
Why is 이메일을 marked with 을?
을/를 marks the direct object of the verb. Here, 이메일을 is what you’re going to 확인하다 (check/confirm).
- 이메일을 확인하다 = to check the email
Is 확인하다 just to check, or does it mean to confirm?
확인하다 can mean to check, to verify, or to confirm, depending on context. With emails, it commonly means to check/look over (e.g., read or see what’s there). So 이메일을 확인하다 naturally means to check the email.
How does -자마자 work, and what nuance does it add?
