Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "I live in apartment."
✅ "I live in an apartment." / "I live in an apartment complex."
한국어에서는 '아파트에 살아요'라고 관사 없이 말하지만, 영어에서는 반드시 관사(a/an)를 붙여야 합니다. 또한 한국의 '아파트'는 영어로 'apartment complex' 또는 'apartment building'에 해당합니다. 'Apartment'만 쓰면 건물 전체가 아닌 개별 세대(호수)를 의미하므로, 단지 전체를 말할 때는 'apartment complex'라고 표현하세요.
