What does 아침마다 mean, and how is -마다 used?

아침마다 means every morning.

The particle -마다 attaches to a noun and means every, each, or whenever that time comes around.

• 주말마다 = every weekend
• 수업마다 = every class

So:

• 아침 = morning
• 아침마다 = every morning

Why is it 거울 앞에서, not 거울 앞에?

Because -에서 marks the place where an action happens.

In this sentence, the action is 빗어요 (to comb/brush), and that action happens in front of the mirror, so 에서 is the natural choice.

Breakdown:

• 거울 = mirror
• 앞 = front
• 거울 앞 = in front of the mirror
• 거울 앞에서 = at/in front of the mirror (where the action happens)

Compare:

• 에 often marks a destination or location of existence
• 에서 marks the location of an activity/action

So:

• 거울 앞에 있어요 = I am in front of the mirror
• 거울 앞에서 머리를 빗어요 = I comb my hair in front of the mirror
