I know that people can say this sentence like they have it here, but for the purpose of learning I think it should be 여자들은/이. In this sentence 은 and 이 are interchangeable.
We intentionally did not add -들 to the best translation, as general concepts do not require the plural suffix. Also, we cannot add a slash in the answer.
"여자들이" uses the subject marker, so it would be a sentence about a specific group of women. If you used it, the sentence would refer to "the women" rather than "women" as a whole.
nun 는 is "is/are" dul 들 is just indicating something or someone is plural by my understanding.
[nun 는 is "is/are"]
That's not true.
"I don't know" = "저는 몰라요."
"I forget." = "저는 잊어버려요."
"I can't sleep." = "저는 못 자요."
Shouldn't this be " the woman" since there is no 들 to suggest its plural
When it's a general statement that you make, its with '는' at the end. It's optional with '들', but normally, if I have understood correctly, it is not needed in these kind of sentences.
착하다 means good-hearted, used for a person. while 좋다 could be used for things or place.
From the previous lessons 들 is not used in generalized statements, so to express a general idea like "Women are good" you need to use 여자는 (the plurality is implied, Korean isn't that strict about this). 여자들은 would be "the women", like "The women I met today are good."
I think this "women" is used for generalizing any "group of women". This is a reason why the sentence drops its plural particle.
No.
착하다 means "To be kind".
좋다 means "to be good" (as in something you enjoy).
