Questions & Answers about gireumeul neomu manhi neoheumyeon masi dallayo.
What does 넣으면 mean, and how is it formed?
넣으면 means if (someone) puts/adds.
It comes from:
- 넣다 = to put in, to add
- -으면 / -면 = if / when
Because 넣다 has a stem ending in a consonant (넣-), it takes -으면, so:
- 넣다 → 넣으면 = if you put in / if you add
In this sentence, it means:
- 기름을 너무 많이 넣으면 = if you add too much oil
Why is it 기름을 and not 기름이?
Because 기름 is the object of the verb 넣다.
- 기름 = oil
- 을 = object particle
So 기름을 넣다 means to add oil.
The oil is the thing being added, so it takes the object marker 을.
Compare:
- 기름을 넣어요 = I add oil / You add oil
- 기름이 있어요 = There is oil
In your sentence, the action is adding oil, so 기름을 is correct.
Why is it 맛이 달라요 and not 맛을 달라요?
