"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

[Jon67951]

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.

[nicochains]

Why not "He walks from home?"

[manuthchek]

Still not accepted now.

[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.

[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.

[Pamela909830]

I put "his house" too, and it was marked wrong.

[itssolji]

집에서 means inside the house not from the house

[Pamela909830]

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

[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.

[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

[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."
