Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

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

❌ I like the music. (when talking about music in general) 저는 음악을 좋아해요. (일반적으로)
✅ I like music. 저는 음악을 좋아해요.

일반적인 것(음악, 시험, 날씨)을 말할 때는 "the"를 쓰지 않습니다. 한국어에는 관사가 없어서 "the"를 언제 쓰고 안 쓰는지 어렵습니다. 일반적 = "the" 없이, 특정한 것 = "the" 사용.

  1. When do we NOT use "the"? What is a "general idea"?
    "the"를 사용하지 않는 때는 언제인가요? "일반적인 개념"이란 무엇인가요?
  2. Why do we say "I like music" (no the) but "I like the music in this cafe" (with the)?
    왜 "I like music"(the 없이)이지만 "I like the music in this cafe"(the 포함)인가요?
  3. Can you make two sentences — one about meat in general, and one about specific meat?
    일반적인 고기와 특정 고기에 대한 문장을 각각 만들 수 있나요?
