Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "I called to ask some informations about your service."
✅ "I'm calling to ask for some information about your service."
한국어에서는 '정보들'이라고 복수형을 쓸 수 있지만, 영어에서 information은 셀 수 없는 명사이므로 항상 단수형으로 써야 합니다. 또한 전화 중일 때는 과거형 "called"보다 현재진행형 "I'm calling"이 더 자연스럽고, "ask informations"가 아니라 "ask for information"으로 전치사 for를 함께 써야 합니다.
