There's nothing wrong with the English here.
Consider this context: you and a friend are looking at a box with some things inside. Your friend knows what all the things are. One object in the box is much smaller than all the other things in the box, and you have no idea what it is. So you ask, "What is the very small thing?"

Could also be read as "what is a very small thing" which sounds like something you'd say if you were asking someone for help solving a crossword puzzle and one of the clues was "a very small thing." Definitely not something you'd say in normal conversation though.
According to this context, I think a person would most likely ask, 'What's the smallest thing?', not 'What is the very small thing?'
Its like really, very, a lot in English. This app didn't accept my "really" when it should have
If I wanted to say "What is THAT very small thing?" where would I put "그"?
그 매우 작은 것은 무엇이에요? or 매우 작은 그 것은 무엇이에요?
I would put it first, in front of the whole thing, just a feeling and not a mother tongue so.. take it as that.
I wrote "what is the really small thing?" and it didnt accept my answer. Like boo, very and really are synonyms.
It sounds more natural to say in english what is this small thing or what is that small thing..
매우 is very, 무슨 is what, and is already indicated at the last part of the sentence ( 무엇이에요)
So... The word 'very' has mamy translations in korean but i dont know if they are different example '너무' '아주' and '매우'. Im a little confused can someone explain?
Why is there a double subject marker on "small - 작은 " & "thing - 것은" Does anybody know
