What does 그 mean in 그 부부?

그 literally means that, but in real sentences it often works like that/the when the listener already knows who is being talked about.

So 그 부부 can mean:

• that couple
• or more naturally in context, the couple

It does not always sound as strongly demonstrative as English that.

What does 의 do in 부부의?

의 marks possession, similar to English 's or of.

So:

• 부부의 딸 = the couple's daughter
• literally, the daughter of the couple

In everyday speech, possessive 의 is often pronounced more like 에, even though it is still written 의.

Why is it 딸은 instead of 딸이?

은/는 is the topic marker, while 이/가 is the subject marker.

Here, 딸은 means the sentence is setting up the daughter as the topic and then saying something about her:

• As for the couple's daughter, ...

If you used 딸이, it would sound more like you are identifying the daughter as the subject in a more specific or contrastive way.

In a simple descriptive sentence like this, 은/는 is very natural.

Why is there no separate word for in the second part of the sentence?
