"그는 집에서 걸어가요."

Translation: He walks from the house.

[raemation]

Why is this from and not to?

[wintertriangles]

Generally with verbs of motion, 에 = to, 에서 = from

[itssolji]

so whats puta for?

[Ares22636]

Haha that sounds funny in spanish, any way 부터 marks the place or time in which something starts from, so I guess in this case is the same as 에서

[Gnarcan]

Also 걸어가다 means to leave, basically "walk+go"

[AlwaysT1red]

Then why is it not translated as "leave"?

[jackisback7]

They are not correct, 걸어가다 is a combination word of to walk and to go - "걷다" and "가다", so it literally means "to go by walking." It differs by the verb to walk by specifying there is some start and end destination.

Why does 걷다 change to 걸어가다?

[mhin1]

걷다 is a ㄷ-irregular verb. When a vowel is appended (like in the case of the casual 어/아 conjugation), the final ㄷ becomes ㄹ.

걷다 + 가다 = 걷+어+가다 = 걸어가다

[Pamela909830]

same reason 듣다 changes to 들어요. That is the grammar for irregular verbs that end with ㄷ. English has lots of irregular verbs too. For example, to go changes to went! :)

[_palak]

Yeah, you're right @Pamela909830
English all in all is a very irregular language (no offense)
Thanks for adding this up. Good luck!

[_palak]

Thank you so much @mhin1

[tessabanessa]

Could thos also mean he walks at the house? If it was using a location like the park how would that be distinguished?

[William-KoDe]

I think that with 걸어가요 (go by walking) we know that he isn't walking around inside the house.

[nicochains]

Why not "He walks from home?"

[deactivated user]

Still not accepted now.

[Sarah90139]

Would "he walks from HIS home" instead of THE home be wrong?
So many things are implied in korean I'm not sure what is acceptable.

[Sebihoo]

Could this also mean "He walks at/in the house"?

[mhin1]

Nope. You would use 걷다 for that.

• 걷다 = "to walk"
• 걸어가다 = "to go by walking", implies a direction or departure

So:

• 그는 집에서 걸어요 = "He walks from the house." or "He walks in the house."
• 그는 집에서 걸어가요 = "He walks from the house."

[Nicofiesta]

How would you say " He walks in the house "?

[sujansong]

That would be 그는 집에서 걸어요.
As previously mentioned in the comment above, the 가 in the 걸어가요 makes the difference.
This is what I understand:
걸어요 means walk.
걸어가요 means walk+go, with the 가 indicating that he is leaving somewhere.

[itssolji]

집에서 means inside the house not from the house

[Pamela909830]

only if the verb was 걸어요. 걸어가요 means to go by walking.

[okay131]

He walks from the home should be acceptable

[abi253870]

I read it in a korean book
that
에 mean to or in
but if he put 에서
instead of 에
it means a start poing
which mean frocant never ever be to

[Pamela909830]

에서 means something happens at a place, or 에서 can mean "from [a place]."
So 미국에서 왔어요 = I came [or he came or she came or they came] from the USA.

[sara7194]

Why is " he walks from the home " wrong ?

[ben.soshians]

*home
Why not???
