Questions & Answers about yojeum yageuni manhaseo jeonyeoge undonghal sigani eobseo.
What does 요즘 mean here? Is it now, these days, or something else?
요즘 means these days / lately / recently.
In this sentence, it gives a sense of an ongoing recent situation, not just this exact moment. So it means something like:
- These days, I’ve been working a lot of overtime...
- Lately, there’s been a lot of overtime...
If the speaker meant strictly right now, Korean would usually use something else depending on context, not 요즘.
What exactly is 야근?
야근 means working late, night work, or overtime work, especially staying at work beyond normal hours.
So 야근이 많다 literally means something like:
- There is a lot of overtime
- I’ve been doing a lot of overtime
- I’ve been working late a lot
Even though English often says I work overtime a lot, Korean often phrases it as overtime is 많다.
Why is it 야근이 많아서? Why use 이 with 야근?
