Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

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

❌ I appreciate you to invite me to the sales presentation.
✅ I appreciate your inviting me to the sales presentation.

한국어에서는 "초대해 주셔서 감사합니다"를 직역하여 'appreciate you to invite'라고 쓰기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서 'appreciate' 뒤에는 명사나 동명사가 와야 하므로 'your inviting' 또는 'the invitation'을 사용해야 합니다. 초대장(invitation letter)을 쓸 때 이 표현을 자주 쓰게 되니 꼭 기억하세요.
