Questions & Answers about jalmos sseun ireumeul jiugo dasi jeogeoyo.

What does 잘못 쓴 이름 mean literally?

Literally, it means the name written incorrectly or the wrongly written name.

• 잘못 = wrongly, incorrectly
• 쓴 = written
• 이름 = name

So 잘못 쓴 이름을 is the incorrectly written name as the object of the sentence.

Why is 쓴 used here? Is it from 쓰다?

Yes. 쓴 comes from 쓰다, which means to write.

Here, 쓴 is the modifier form that describes the noun 이름. In English, it works like written in the written name.

So:

• 쓰다 = to write
• 쓴 이름 = the name that was written

Because it is modifying a noun, Korean changes the verb into this noun-modifying form.

Why is it 잘못 쓴 이름, not something like 잘못 이름?
