- "학생이 도서관에서 꿈을 꿉니다."

Actually, in Korea, sleeping at work is seen as dedication, because you never went home.
Maybe the fiction writer was that good. Skilled writing hijacks the imagination.
They are synonymous. The former looks more emphasised, but I think I personally don't distinguish between them.
It's 꿈을 etc. You want to write 우, not 으 :) and I think (not a korean speaker though) it has the same meaning, maybe the 꿈 꿉니다 is to put more stress on the verb?
Since both the nous and verb versions of the word "dream" are here, could it not also be "the student dreams a dream in the library?
it's the literal translation, but i think it's not right because you wouldn't say that in english in normal conversation.
I know 꿈을 꿉니다 just means 'dream' but would it also be correct to just say 꿉니다? Thank you~
From what I've found in Wiki, the answer is "No" cause omitting 꿈을would change the meaning of 꿉니다 to "borrow", you can look up more at: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%EA%BE%B8%EB%8B%A4
Well, you could have sentences like these:
- 악몽(惡夢)을 꾸다 → to have a nightmare
- 내가 꾸었던 꿈 → … a dream I had
But 꿈 … 꾸 is indeed the most common pattern encountered.
Why did i get the answer wrong only because instead of writing "at" i wrote "in".... In the library is correct english as well

Like in English, the continuous present tense (e.g. "is doing") has a separate verb form from the simple present tense (e.g. "does") in Korean. This distinction doesn't exist in every language, but in those that have it, it is often an important difference.
Could someone explain to me the meaning of adding "-에서", "-에", "-으로", "에게서", and "-에게" to words, and what I should add them onto?
에서 is used at the end of a place when the person is doing an activity there, or if an activity is taking place there. e.g. I study at the library- 저는 도서관에서 공부합니다
에 is used to indicate place and time, ie it is a particle placed after place and time words.e.g.
I go home- 저는 집에 가요
I eat in the morning- 저는 아침에 먹습니다
I go to school at 9 am.- 아침에 9 시에 학교에 가요.
으로 means "by means of" or "in"- eg I go to school by bus- 저는 버스로 학교에 가요.
I speak to Susan in English.- 저는 수잔에게 영어로 말함니다
I love with my heart.- 저는 마음으로 사랑해요
에게서 means 'from', 에게 means 'to' I receive a present from my friend- 제 친구에게서 선물을 받슴니다
I send a present to my friend.- 저는 친구에게 선물을 보냅니다
Hope this helps
Since both the nous and verb versions of the word "dream" are here, could it not also be "the student dreams a dream in the library?
That is technically what it means but it wouldn’t be translated as such because it sounds a little awkward
What do you mean by ‘redundant words’? Which part of the sentence is confusing?
Since both the noun and verb versions of the word "dream" are here, could it not also be "the student dreams a dream in the library?
not wrong per se, but try to always use the most common English syntax just to be sure it'll accept your answer
put dreams next to the student so it can say 'the student dreams at the library. It sounds WAY more natural
I would like to know when to use in and when at. I know the difference in english but I do not see a difference Korean and in the sentence above both make sense but in was not correct?!?
The student dreams at the library is correct, but would 'the student at the library is dreaming' also be correct?
i suppose maybe word order could change the emphasis so the sentence would have that meaning, though "is dreaming" is present continuous and probably works differently in Korean.
Hi, the present continuous (?) so ‘is doing’ is a different grammar form. You take the verb stem (the verb minus 다) and at 고 있어. Or if you want to keep it at the same formality the first sentence is in, then 고 있습니다. So, ‘the student is dreaming (right now)’ would be 학생은 꿈꾸고 있어
bruh i typed the student dreams at the library and it was marked wrong???? i see no difference between dreams a dream and only dreams
