Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ I bought jacket and skirt. Jacket was cheap. 재킷과 치마를 샀어요. 재킷은 싸었어요.
✅ I bought a jacket and a skirt. The jacket was cheap. 재킷과 치마를 샀어요. 그 재킷은 싸었어요.

한국어에는 관사가 없어서 "a"와 "the"를 빠뜨리기 쉽습니다. 처음 말할 때는 "a/an"을 쓰고, 이미 말한 것을 다시 가리킬 때는 "the"를 씁니다: "a jacket" → "the jacket".

Discussion

Share your thoughts with your teacher.
선생님과 의견을 나눠보세요.

  1. When do we use "a" and when do we use "the"? Look at the jacket and skirt example.
    "a"는 언제, "the"는 언제 사용하나요? 재킷과 치마 예문을 보세요.
  2. The lesson says we use "the" when "it is clear which thing we mean." Why do we say "the kitchen" of a house?
    수업에서 "어떤 것인지 분명할 때" "the"를 사용한다고 합니다. 왜 집의 "the kitchen"이라고 하나요?
  3. When do we use "an" instead of "a"? Can you give an example?
    "a" 대신 "an"은 언제 사용하나요? 예를 들 수 있나요?
