Questions & Answers about uijareul changmun yeopeuro olmgyeo juseyo.

What does each part of 의자를 창문 옆으로 옮겨 주세요 mean literally?

A natural breakdown is:

• 의자를 = 의자 (chair) + 를 (object marker)
• 창문 옆으로 = to beside the window / to the side of the window
• 옮겨 주세요 = please move it

So the sentence is literally something like:

Please move the chair to the side of the window.

In natural English, that usually becomes Please move the chair next to the window or Please move the chair over by the window.

Why is there 를 in 의자를?

를 marks 의자 as the direct object of the verb.

So:

• 의자 = chair
• 의자를 = the chair (as the thing being moved)

In this sentence, the thing receiving the action of 옮기다 (to move) is the chair, so it takes 를.

Why does it say 창문 옆으로 instead of 창문 옆에?
