Questions & Answers about ttalgireul ssiseoseo geureuse dama dueosseoyo.

Why is 딸기 marked with 를 in 딸기를?

를 is the object marker. It marks 딸기 as the thing being acted on.

In this sentence, the strawberries are:

• washed
• then placed into a bowl

So 딸기를 means the strawberries as the direct object.

Also, Korean nouns often do not have to show singular/plural clearly. So 딸기 can mean:

• a strawberry
• strawberries

Context tells you which one is meant. In a sentence like this, strawberries is the natural interpretation.

Why is it 그릇에 and not 그릇을?

Here, 에 marks the destination or place something goes into.

With 담다 (to put in / place into / contain), Korean often uses this pattern:

• thing + 을/를
• container/place + 에
• 담다

So:

• 딸기를 = the strawberries
• 그릇에 = into the bowl

That is why 그릇에 담다 means to put something into a bowl/container.

If you used 그릇을, it would sound like the bowl itself is the object being acted on, which is not what this sentence means.
