"저는 여자에게 선물을 줍니다."

Translation: I give the woman a present.

[hiiamsoshook]

저는=subject 여자에게=indirect object 선물을=direct object 줍니다=verb.

[Jesssiiieee]

The grammar is a bit confusing

[dingdong211190]

I wrote "I give a woman the present" which sounds a bit naughty but still got it right

[leenah_todd101]

I did the same thing and got it wrong lol

[MKatharsis]

Lol

[befuzzled]

Question…Is 줍니다 different than 보냅니다, as in by mailing it or just handing it to them? I was just confusing 'gives' and 'sends' multiple times

[PV8F4]

The translation of this sentence is not appropriate. 에게 is To .

저는 여자에게 선물을 줍니다.
I give a present to the/a woman .

[ALLintolearning3]

It is appropriate. We could do it either way in English, but is your translation also accepted as correct, because it should be.

[D3XT3RY0NuT]

"I am giving a present to the woman" was marked as wrong.

[ALLintolearning3]

I think that another character or word may be added for progressive tense.

[LisaEldibasal]

that's what I wrote but it said it was wrong :(

[charmantMode]

It's generally Subject, Object, Verb. The particles tell you what the word's role is in the sentence. But i agree, it's quite opposite from English at times

[hiiamsoshook]

or S-O-V but in English, we use S-V-D.O

[hiiamsoshook]

It's more confusing if you added adjectives.

[LittleMooMixer]

lol. I said gift instead present (which are practically the same) and still got it wrong XD

[XLtb1wp5]

would it be okay to say "I give a present to the woman"? because 에게 means" to"?

[ALLintolearning3]

In English “I give a present to the woman.” = “I give the woman a present.” regardless of the other language, so if one is accepted the other should also be accepted as correct.

[brxwniecake]

"I give a gift to a woman" is not correct?

[Chimine23]

Excuse me, GAVE or Give???

[jytou]

Just wondering: there are no definite/indefinite modes for nouns in Korean?

[dpatkat]

Korean does not have specific particles or words for indefinite articles "a" or "an". If you want to say you are talking about a specific person etc, you can use "그" (that) as a standalone modifier word right before a noun to represent the English "the".

Otherwise the conversation without that will sometimes give you clues to know if the most natural translation into English works best with ”the or "a/an".

I'm always considering: Literal translations do not always work from one language into another.

I'm always considering that "what" is not always "왜" , "to" is not always "에게".

[Hunter612583]

Before I wrote "I give a present to the woman" and it was marked as wrong, why is that???

[ALLintolearning3]

Report it as also correct.

Grammar in english is unnatural

[Queen604534]

I was right here

[Roine15]

The grammar is a bit confusing

[Duncanthehat]

What is the difference between a gift and a present?

[Kayoala1234]

ConfuSED ~Jeon Jungkook i luv jungkookie's vlives lmao

[AniruddhaS647082]

Why is " I gave the woman a present wrong? How does one identify tense?

[ALLintolearning3]

Another character would be added to show that it happened in the past, I think.

[AniruddhaS647082]

Thank you. It makes sense now.

[Menna13805]

I think it's better if it's "i give a present to the woman" but idk english isn't my native language

[ALLintolearning3]

"I" is always capitalized in English. It is not necessarily better.
In English “I give a present to the woman.” = “I give the woman a present.” regardless of the other language, so if one is accepted the other should also be accepted as correct.

[Menna13805]

Ohh thank you for explaining!

[IiviSua]

the grammar is wrong o.O

[ALLintolearning3]

In which language? I believe they are both correct though different word order is used in each language.

[Menna13805]

It's finnish
