Questions & Answers about jungyohan jaryoneun poldeo-e moa duseyo.

Why is it 중요한 자료 and not 중요하다 자료?

중요하다 is the dictionary form, but when a descriptive verb modifies a noun directly, it changes form.

• 중요하다 = to be important
• 중요한 자료 = important materials/data

Here, -한 is the modifier form used before a noun. So:

• 중요한 = important
• 자료 = materials/data/documents

This is very similar to how English uses important before a noun.

What does 자료 mean exactly? Is it like data, materials, or documents?

자료 is a broad word. Depending on context, it can mean:

• data
• materials
• documents
• reference materials
• files/resources

In this sentence, it probably means something like important materials/files/documents rather than raw numerical data only.

A useful point: 자료 often sounds a bit more formal or work-related than everyday stuff.
