I learned 열심히 as diligently, though i suppose the adverb hard isbmuch more common

Words like this one are much easier to remember with hanja

[tmurf2]

Me too...diligently not different to hard

[SKYRYD3R]

A workhorse...

[Max_Ventura5]

Maybe the horse is BoJack

[GeraldMath4]

"Magpies are noisy" was accepted in the plural for 까치가시끄레럽다, wasn't it? Why not "Horses ..." here?

[JihoLee16]

Thanks to your suggestion, they are now accepted as an alternative answer. To be more precise, the plural form of a Korean word would include '들', making it 말들이.

"I will work harder!"

[Sarah90139]

Why is this only singular "horse" and not plural "horses" if the hint for 말이 gives both? "The horses work hard" was wrong

[JihoLee16]

Thank you Sarah! Thanks to your suggestion, they are now accepted as an alternative answer. To be more precise, the plural form of a Korean word would include '들', making it 말들이.

[Hanzo_Ergo]

The 이/가 particles make the subject specific. If it was 말은, then we could translate either way

[Dalia55555]

Is ㅎ silent ?

[MyUphoriaJK97]

Hey keep it up

[tijl_cockx]

나도 열심히 일해요!!

[JacobScott482294]

Isnt it diligent?

[De__Fawnder]

Kerja bagai kuda

[Shaxton]

Could this sentence also mean "Language works hard."?

[JihoLee16]

Yes, but it will be accepted as a correct response only as an example of personification. You are right that 말/언어 could mean a language in Korean.

[Shaxton]

Many thanks.
