Questions & Answers about annaemune oneul iljeongpyoga isseoyo.
Why is 에 attached to 안내문?
에 marks the location where something exists. In this sentence, 안내문에 means on the notice / in the announcement / on the sign.
So the structure is basically:
- 안내문에 = on the notice
- 오늘 일정표가 = today’s schedule
- 있어요 = exists / is there
Korean uses 에 with 있다 to show where something is located.
Why is it 오늘 일정표가 and not 오늘 일정표는?
Here, 가 is the subject marker, and it is commonly used with 있어요 when introducing or pointing out that something exists.
So 오늘 일정표가 있어요 is like saying:
- There is today’s schedule
- Today’s schedule is there
If you used 는, it would sound more like you are setting today’s schedule up as the topic for contrast or further explanation. For example, 오늘 일정표는 안내문에 있어요 would mean something like As for today’s schedule, it’s on the notice.
In this sentence, 가 is the most natural choice.
Why is there no 의 in 오늘 일정표? Shouldn’t it be 오늘의 일정표?
