Sentence structure
Key sentences split into meaning units, showing the role of each part.
The connective "-aseo/-eoseo" links a reason to a result: "joahaeseo" means "because (I) like," leading to "I often go." The object is marked by "-eul" (eumsig-eul), the destination by "-e" (sikdang-e, to the restaurant), and the adverb "jaju" (often) precedes the verb "gamnida," which comes last.
The pattern "-go sipda" expresses the speaker's wish, "want to do" (here "gago sipseumnida," want to go). Two uses of "-e" appear: time (naenyeon-e, next year) and destination (Hanguk-e, to Korea). The object is "-eul" (yeohaeng-eul), and the desire ending comes last.
