Questions & Answers about chinguga pyeonjiphan yeongsangeun jjalbjiman dasi bol manhae.

Why is it 친구가 and not 친구는?

Here, 친구가 marks friend as the doer of 편집한 (edited).

The phrase 친구가 편집한 영상 means the video that my friend edited.

• 친구가 = my friend is the one who edited it
• 영상은 = as for the video...

So the sentence has two layers:

1. 친구가 편집한 modifies 영상
2. 영상은 짧지만 다시 볼 만해 says something about that video

If you changed it to 친구는, the nuance would shift toward as for my friend..., which is not the most natural choice here.

What does 편집한 mean exactly?

편집한 is the noun-modifying form of 편집하다 (to edit).

So:

• 편집하다 = to edit
• 편집한 = edited / that edited

In Korean, verbs can directly modify nouns. So:

• 친구가 편집한 영상 = the video that my friend edited

This is very common in Korean. English often uses that/who/which, but Korean usually just puts the verb before the noun.
