상대방 literally means the other side / the other party. In everyday situations, it often means the other person involved.

In this sentence, it most likely refers to:

• the other driver
• the other party in an accident
• the person on the opposite side of a situation

So it sounds a bit more formal or situational than just saying 다른 사람 (another person).

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

So:

• 상대방의 자동차 = the other party's car

It connects 상대방 and 자동차 and shows that the car belongs to the other party.

In casual Korean, 의 is sometimes omitted in speech, but in a sentence like this, especially one that sounds formal or report-like, keeping 의 is very natural.

Because 자동차 is the thing being described as being in a damaged state, so it is marked with 가 as the subject.

The core predicate is 파손되다 = to be damaged / to become damaged.

So the structure is basically:

• 자동차가 파손됐어요 = The car was damaged

If you used 를, that would suggest the car is the direct object of an action, which would fit a verb like 박았어요 (hit) or 망가뜨렸어요 (broke/damaged something), but not this sentence.

Here 크게 means greatly, badly, or severely.

It comes from 크다 (to be big), but when used as an adverb in sentences like this, it often means the degree is large.

So:

• 크게 파손됐어요 = was badly/severely damaged

It does not mean the car itself is big. It describes the extent of the damage.

파손됐어요 is a contracted form of 파손되었어요.

Breakdown:

• 파손 = damage, breakage, physical damage
• 되다 = to become / to be made into
• -었어요 = past polite ending

So:

• 파손되다 = to be damaged
• 파손되었어요 → 파손됐어요 = was damaged

This contraction is very common and natural in speech and writing.

It often feels passive in English translation, but in Korean it is better thought of as to become damaged or to be in a damaged state, built with 되다.

Compare:

• 파손시키다 = to damage something
• 파손되다 = to be damaged / become damaged

So yes, in translation it often corresponds to an English passive like was damaged, but grammatically Korean learners often find it helpful to think of it as a 되다 verb rather than only as a passive form.

파손되다 sounds more formal, technical, and report-like.

Nuance comparison:

• 파손되다: formal, often used in insurance, police reports, news, accident descriptions
• 망가지다: everyday to get broken
• 부서지다: to be broken/shattered, often for something physically cracked or smashed

With a car accident, 파손되다 is very natural because it sounds like objective damage-report language.

Yes, somewhat.

Even though it ends in polite -어요, the vocabulary makes it sound more formal or official:

• 상대방
• 자동차
• 크게
• 파손되다

This is the kind of sentence you might hear in:

• an accident report
• an insurance conversation
• news coverage
• a formal explanation of what happened

In casual conversation, someone might say something more like:

• 상대 차가 많이 망가졌어요.
• 상대편 차가 많이 부서졌어요.

This is an important difference.

• 파손했어요 = damaged (something)
  This would mean someone actively damaged something.
• 파손됐어요 = was damaged / became damaged

So:

• 자동차가 파손됐어요 = The car was damaged
• 누군가 자동차를 파손했어요 = Someone damaged the car

Because the sentence is describing the condition of the other party's car, 파손됐어요 is the correct choice.

Yes. In conversation, speakers often use shorter expressions like:

• 상대 차 = the other person's car
• 상대편 차 = the other side's car
• 상대방 차 = the other party's car

So instead of 상대방의 자동차가 크게 파손됐어요, people might say:

• 상대 차가 많이 파손됐어요.
• 상대편 차가 많이 망가졌어요.

The original sentence sounds more careful and formal.

Yes.

• 자동차 = automobile / car; more formal or neutral
• 차 = car; much more common in everyday speech

In reports, official descriptions, or careful speech, 자동차 is common. In normal conversation, 차 is usually more natural.

In Korean, adverbs usually come before the verb or adjective they modify.

So:

• 크게 파손됐어요 = was severely damaged

This is the normal Korean word order:

• noun + subject marker + adverb + verb

You will see this pattern very often:

• 많이 다쳤어요 = was badly hurt
• 심하게 망가졌어요 = got badly broken
• 크게 다쳤어요 = was seriously injured

Yes, very strongly.

Because of words like:

• 상대방 = the other party
• 자동차 = car
• 크게 파손되다 = be badly damaged

the sentence naturally suggests a traffic accident, collision, or insurance situation.

A native speaker would often assume some kind of accident context even if it is not explicitly stated.
