"집으로 가는 길"
Translation:The road home
56 CommentsThis discussion is locked.
In English, its own tendency to make small or minimize without loss of meaning in English:
The road (going towards) home.
The road (towards) home.
The road home.
Typical in American English, not sure about Europeans.
NOTE
A road cannot move; the road isn't going home (as in "the road is moving to the house itself"). The subject for "가-" is omitted. Here, "집으로 가는 길" literally translates to "the road along which one goes home".
간 is the past determiner form.
- -는/은: present determiner
- -ㄴ/는: past determiner
- -ㄹ/를: future determiner
As for action verbs, only -는 is a present form, and -ㄴ and -은 are past forms.
I'm keeping in mind that these spelled and sound alike grammar descriptive verbal parts are not the particles we use directly on nouns in the subject object topic lessons.
"the road going to the house" is the correct answer, but not "the way going..." or the more natural "the road leading to the house"? and when i skip answering i get "the road home" as correct answer?
Both "the way going to the house" and "the road leading to the house" are now accepted.
Thank you also for stating "the road home" is the primary translation and affirming the others as meaningful alternative translations.
Options are imperfect. Also some sentences does not make any sence. Like sleeping kid eats...
For some reason 길 sounds somewhere between 그 and g/k + English "i" as in "bit" (IPA [ɪ]).
I know it sounds silly, but couldn't "the home road" technically be accepted? Since it's "the home-going-road"....
If it sounds silly, it’s probably not the right answer. “The home-going road” is already quite a stretch. You’d be hard-pressed to find a use for the expression as-is.
(학교에 가는 길 , 집으로 가는 길 ) is the only difference in translation? I'm not native speaker
