Questions & Answers about bameneun jageun sorido keuge neukkyeojyeoyo.

What does 밤에는 mean, and why isn’t it just 밤에?

밤에 means at night.

When 는 is added, as in 밤에는, it gives a contrastive or topic-setting feeling. It is a bit like saying:

• as for at night
• at night, especially
• when it’s night

So 밤에는 작은 소리도 크게 느껴져요 has the nuance that this is particularly true at night, possibly compared with daytime.

What is the role of 에 in 밤에는?

에 is the particle used here to mark a point in time. With time expressions, it often means at or on.

So:

• 밤에 = at night
• 밤에는 = at night, as for nighttime

In this sentence, 에 marks the time, and 는 adds topic/contrast.

What does 작은 소리도 mean exactly?

작은 소리 means a small/quiet sound.

• 작은 = small, from 작다
• 소리 = sound

The particle 도 means also, even, or too, depending on context. In this sentence, it is best understood as even.

So 작은 소리도 means:

• even a small sound
• even a quiet sound

This helps create the idea that at night, not only loud sounds but even quiet ones feel loud.
