"그 고양이가 너희를 놀려요."

Translation: That cat makes fun of you.

[SerenTheTurtle]

Wow rude

[lareblar]

Is 너희 another word for "you" in singular?

[wintertriangles]

It would be you plural usually.. It doesn't make sense in this sentence though.

너희 = you plural (but not commonly used), 저희 = 우리 formal (also not commonly used)

[akira300]

In Slavic languages, plural you (ви) is used in polite speech instead of singular you (ти). Could that be the case here as well?

[Staszek456]

Haha, not in every slavic language. In some third person is used in polite speech, like "could mister do something?" instead of "could you do something, mister?"

[lareblar]

I thought it might be plural but as you say, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Thanks!

[CooperReid4]

It's more like we, but including the listener. 우리 is a bit less common but excludes the listener

[damarisn337]

Why is it not you make fun of the cat?

[JonathanSc315860]

Cat is the subject here indicated by the 가 at the end.

[MoonAmonet]

Because of the particles used after cat and you, you is the object and cat is the subject of the sentence

[raemation]

The cat is the subject (가) and yoi is the object (를)

[IshmaelRuf]

Because you has the marker for which the verb is modifying

[Untitled_Name]

The subject always acts on the object, so since cat is marked with 가 (the subject marker) and "you" is marked with 를 (the object marker), the cat is going to be making fun of "you".

"You make fun of that cat" would be 너희가그고양이를놀려요.

[CooperReid4]

"가" is the topic marker and "를" is the object marker

[Dawn190589]

The cat is the subject (since it ends in 가) and you is the direct object (since it ends in 를)

[Mina87467]

이/가 is attached to the subject and 을/를 is attached to the noun of the verb
