Questions & Answers about danggeuneun neomu keuge jareuji malgo jakge sseoreo juseyo.

Why is it 당근은 and not 당근을?

은/는 marks the topic of the sentence, not the direct object.

So 당근은 means something like:

• as for the carrots
• when it comes to the carrots

This is very natural in instructions, recipes, and explanations, where the speaker is talking about one ingredient at a time.

If you said 당근을, that would focus more on carrots as the direct object of the verb. That is also possible in some contexts, but 당근은 sounds very natural when giving step-by-step directions.

What does 크게 mean here, and how is it formed?

크게 comes from the adjective 크다 (to be big / large).

In Korean, adjectives can be changed into adverbs with -게:

• 크다 → 크게 = big(ly) / in a big way
• 작다 → 작게 = small(ly) / in a small way

Here, 크게 자르다 means:

• to cut into big pieces
• to cut too large

And 작게 썰다 means:

• to slice/chop into small pieces

So -게 is doing the job that English often does with phrases like into small pieces or finely.
