Questions & Answers about naeil budongsane gaseo bojeunggeumi najeun jibeul dasi bol geoyeyo.

Why is 부동산 used here—does it mean real estate or real estate agency?

In everyday Korean, 부동산 often refers to a real estate office/agent, not just real estate as an abstract concept.

So in this sentence, 부동산에 가서 means go to the real estate agency/office and...

This is very common in Korean. Native speakers often use the business type to refer to the place itself:

  • 부동산에 가다 = go to the real estate office
  • 병원에 가다 = go to the hospital/clinic
  • 은행에 가다 = go to the bank
Why is the particle used after 부동산?

is used because it marks the destination of movement with verbs like 가다.

So:

  • 부동산에 가다 = to go to the real estate office

This is different from 에서, which would mark the place where an action happens. In this sentence, the first verb is 가다, so is the natural choice.

A useful contrast:

  • 부동산에 가요 = I go to the real estate office
  • 부동산에서 집을 봐요 = I look at houses at/from the real estate office
What does 가서 mean here?

가서 is 가다 plus -아서/어서, which connects two actions.

Here it means something like:

  • go and then
  • go in order to, and

So 부동산에 가서 보증금이 낮은 집을 다시 볼 거예요 means:

  • go to the real estate office, and then see the house again

It shows a sequence of actions:

  1. go
  2. see again

In everyday Korean, this kind of connector is extremely common.

Why is it 보증금이 낮은 집 and not 보증금은 낮은 집?

In 보증금이 낮은 집, 보증금이 낮은 is a clause describing .

Literally, it is structured like:

  • the house whose deposit is low

Inside that descriptive clause, 보증금 is the subject of 낮은, so 이/가 is used naturally.

So:

  • 보증금이 낮은 집 = a house with a low deposit

If you used 보증금은, it would sound more contrastive, as if you were saying:

  • as for the deposit, it is low...

That is possible in some contexts, but it is not the neutral default here.

Why is 낮은 used for 보증금?

낮다 means to be low, and it is often used for things like:

  • prices
  • rent
  • fees
  • interest rates
  • deposits

So 보증금이 낮다 means the deposit is low.

This sounds more natural than trying to say small deposit in a literal English-based way.

Examples:

  • 가격이 낮아요 = the price is low
  • 월세가 낮아요 = the monthly rent is low
  • 보증금이 낮아요 = the deposit is low
What exactly is 보증금?

보증금 is the security deposit paid when renting a place.

In Korean housing, this is an important concept, and it is often discussed separately from:

  • 월세 = monthly rent
  • 전세 = a large lump-sum lease deposit system
  • 관리비 = maintenance fee/building fee

So 보증금이 낮은 집 means a place where the upfront deposit is relatively low.

How does 보증금이 낮은 집 work grammatically?

This is a noun-modifying structure.

The base sentence would be:

  • 보증금이 낮다 = the deposit is low

To turn that into something that describes a noun, Korean changes 낮다 to 낮은:

  • 보증금이 낮은 집 = the house that has a low deposit

This is similar to:

  • 예쁜 집 = a pretty house
  • 큰 집 = a big house
  • 월세가 비싼 집 = a house whose monthly rent is expensive

So 낮은 is the adjective form used directly before the noun .

Why is 집을 marked with ?

Because is the direct object of 보다.

The verb 보다 means to see/look at/view, and the thing being seen gets 을/를:

  • 집을 보다 = to look at a house
  • 영화를 보다 = to watch a movie
  • 사진을 보다 = to look at a photo

So in this sentence:

  • 집을 다시 볼 거예요 = will see/look at the house again
What does 보다 mean here—just see, or more like view a house?

Here 보다 means more than just see with your eyes. In a housing context, it usually means:

  • look at
  • check out
  • view
  • tour

So 집을 보다 in this kind of sentence often means to go see the property or to view the house/apartment.

That is why 다시 보다 here most naturally means go see it again or view it again.

What does 다시 mean, and where does it go in the sentence?

다시 means again.

It comes before the verb it modifies:

  • 다시 볼 거예요 = will see again

So the sentence implies that this is not the first viewing. The speaker has already seen that house before and plans to look at it another time.

Common patterns:

  • 다시 가요 = go again
  • 다시 해요 = do it again
  • 다시 봐요 = see it again
What does 볼 거예요 mean grammatically?

볼 거예요 is the future/intention form built from:

  • 보다
  • 것이에요 / 거예요

So it means:

  • will see
  • am going to see

This form can express:

  1. future action
  2. intention/plan

In this sentence, it sounds like a plan for tomorrow.

Compare:

  • 봐요 = see/look
  • 봤어요 = saw/looked
  • 볼 거예요 = will see / am going to see
Why isn’t there a subject like 저는 in the sentence?

Korean often leaves out the subject when it is obvious from context.

So even though English usually wants something like I or we, Korean often just says:

  • 내일 ... 볼 거예요

The listener can understand the implied subject from the situation.

Possible implied subjects could be:

  • 저는 = I
  • 우리는 = we

But if the conversation already makes that clear, Korean normally omits them.

Why does the sentence start with 내일?

Korean often puts time expressions near the beginning of the sentence.

So:

  • 내일 = tomorrow

This sets the time frame first, and then the rest of the sentence gives the action.

That word order is very natural in Korean:

  • 오늘 친구를 만나요 = today I’m meeting a friend
  • 내일 병원에 가요 = tomorrow I’m going to the hospital
  • 주말에 집을 볼 거예요 = on the weekend I’ll see a house
Could this sentence also refer to an apartment, not just a standalone house?

Yes. In Korean, is often used broadly for a home/place to live, not only a detached house.

Depending on context, 집을 보다 could mean looking at:

  • an apartment
  • an officetel
  • a villa
  • a house

So even if the English translation says house, the Korean can be more general.

Is there any nuance to using 다시 볼 거예요 instead of something more explicit?

Yes. 다시 볼 거예요 is simple and natural, and it implies:

  • the speaker has seen the place before
  • they want another look before deciding

In real estate situations, this can suggest a follow-up visit because the speaker is still considering the property.

It does not by itself explain why they are seeing it again—only that it is a repeat viewing.
