Is there a way to tell if the sentence is speaking generally? Why is "Is the mouse cute?" not acceptable?
It should be accepted. Suggest it!
Koreans usually don't use -들 for things that aren't people (in my experience).
는 makes it pretty general and if there's no specific mouse both the speaker and listener know, I would assume that the sentence is meant in a general way. Nevertheless "Is the mouse cute?" should definitely be acceptable here.
i guess it's because the english grammar for that is off?? if you want to say that then it'd be "is the mouse cute?"
When you say "Is the rat cute?" it is talking about a specific rat. However the sentence provided translates to "Are mice cute?" which is talking about mice in general. Hope this helps :))
