Questions & Answers about chulbaljieseo jeo deungsangaegege gati mureoboja.

Does 저 mean I here?

No. In this sentence, 저 is a demonstrative determiner, meaning that.

• 저 등산객 = that hiker (over there)
• When 저 is used by itself as a pronoun, it can mean I/me in humble speech.
• But when it comes before a noun, it means that.

So here, 저 등산객 definitely means that hiker, not I, the hiker.

What does 출발지에서 mean, and why is 에서 used?

출발지 means starting point, departure point, or in context something like the trailhead/start area.

The particle 에서 is used because it marks the place where an action happens.

Here, the action is 물어보자 (let's ask), so 출발지에서 means:

• at the starting point
• from the starting point only in some contexts, but here the more natural reading is at the starting point

A useful contrast:

• 학교에 가다 = go to school
• 학교에서 공부하다 = study at school

In this sentence, the asking happens there, so 에서 makes sense.

Why does 등산객 take 에게?
