Questions & Answers about peurinteo-eseo keun soriga nayo.

What is the basic grammatical breakdown of 프린터에서 큰 소리가 나요?

A natural breakdown is:

• 프린터에서 = from the printer / at the printer
• 큰 = big, but here it means loud
• 소리가 = sound + subject particle 가
• 나요 = comes out / occurs / is happening

So the sentence literally feels like:

• From the printer, a loud sound is coming out

That is why the natural English meaning is There is a loud noise coming from the printer.

What does 에서 mean here, and why is it used with 프린터?

Here, 에서 marks the source or place something happens from.

In this sentence, the loud sound is coming from the printer, so 프린터에서 means:

• from the printer
• or more literally, at/from the printer

Korean often uses 에서 with things like sounds, smells, or problems coming from a place or object:

• 방에서 소리가 나요 = A sound is coming from the room
• 차에서 이상한 냄새가 나요 = A strange smell is coming from the car

So 에서 is very natural here.

Why is it 큰 소리 and not 크다 소리?
