"The boy laughs."

Translation: 남자아이가 웃습니다.

[awake666]

This one is way over my head lol

[wintertriangles]

남자 = man / 아이 = child / 남자아이 = manchild (boy)

웃습니다 = 웃다 = to laugh / -습니다 = formal ending

[Kbotica]

Why the 가? Because it alreay ends in 이?

[andyoppaismine]

It ends with -가 because the word before it is 아이 (child). And -가 comes after vowels

[ArshiahHaf]

Shouldn't it be pronounced utseubnida not usseubnida because the ㅅ is batchim?

[Draymal]

I wrote : 소년이 웃습니다 and it was marked as wrong.

[Ash-Fred]

"소년이 웃습니다." is now accepted.

[TalvirChri]

Does it mean only 'to laugh' or also 'to smile'? What is the proper word to say, that someone smiles?

[slycordinator]

Laugh and smile are the same word in Korean.

[EndersFlo7]

The pronounciation of 아이가 is completely different from what is written here.

[meow_august]

what is 가?

[Esther528279]

가 is a subject marker.

[SebastianT722688]

Can you tell me what's the other object marker other than 를 and 을

[slycordinator]

를/을 is the object maker. There's no other object marker.

[andyoppaismine]

I've never heard a word 남자아이 used before and I study Korean in higher level in university or actually graduated from the classes.

[Ash-Fred]

You would most likely hear it in the form of 남자애. We will include more contracted forms in the next tree.

[andyoppaismine]

I have only heard the word 소녀 for a girl and 소년 to refer to a boy.

[thevoidlily]

I wrote 남자가 and it corrected it to 남자에, why?
