Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ He broke the law so he needs a lawyer to guilty him.
✅ He broke the law so he needs a lawyer to defend him.
한국어에서는 '유죄'라는 단어를 넓게 사용하지만, 영어에서 'guilty'는 형용사(유죄인)이지 동사가 아닙니다. 변호사가 하는 일은 'defend(변호하다)'이며, guilty는 'He was found guilty(유죄 판결을 받았다)'처럼 형용사로 사용합니다. 'guilty'를 동사처럼 쓰지 않도록 주의하세요.
