Questions & Answers about chuljang gagi jeone hyuga sincheongbuteo chwisohaeya haesseoyo.

Why is it 가기 전에 and not just 가 전에?

Because 가다 has to be turned into a noun-like form before 전에 can attach to it.

• 가다 = to go
• 가기 = going / the act of going
• 전에 = before

So:

• 출장 가기 전에 = before going on a business trip

This is a very common pattern:

• 먹기 전에 = before eating
• 자기 전에 = before sleeping
• 출발하기 전에 = before departing

In this sentence, 가기 전에 modifies the action that had to be done first: canceling the leave request.

Why is there no object particle in 출장 가기? Shouldn’t it be something like 출장을 가기?

In Korean, 출장 가다 is a very common fixed expression meaning to go on a business trip. In everyday speech, people usually say:

• 출장 가다
• 여행 가다
• 학교 가다

rather than adding 을/를.

So 출장 가기 전에 sounds natural and normal.
Using 출장을 가다 would sound unnatural in most contexts.

What exactly does 휴가 신청 mean here?

휴가 신청 means a leave request or an application for time off.

Breakdown:

• 휴가 = vacation, leave
• 신청 = application, request

So 휴가 신청을 취소하다 means to cancel a leave request, not necessarily to cancel the vacation itself after it was fully approved. It focuses on the request/application process.
