"I am talking to the seated man."

Translation: 저는 앉는 남자하고 이야기하고 있어요.

[sonnert]

Hmm dont understand the first 하고 here. Could you also use 남자에게 or 남자와 here?

[wintertriangles]

Yes

[cccchhaarrrr]

남자에게 isn't accepted

[AlanVzquez9]

and 남자로?

[WHTU8]

남자로 is not correct.
로 means different with 에게,와,하고

[Dokidokisoju]

It should be 앉은 not 앉는

[Coup_d.Etat]

ㄴ/은 turns verbs into their past determiner forms, so 앉은 남자 would be "the man who sat" (keep in mind that it doesn't imply that the action is finished, so it can mean he sat, and is still in the sitting position)

[Dani857935]

What's wrong with using 말하고 here?

[WHTU8]

You're right. This should be corrected

[AlfieTheBear]

Is "나는 앉는 남자에게 말하고 있어요" wrong?

[tuckertuck]

My Korean wife says '앉아 있는' os more natural because the man is currently sitting.

[s.kwon]

This sentence is funny to say ehe. Also shouldnt it be 앉은 instead of 앉는?

[Coup_d.Etat]

앉다 is a verb, so ㄴ/은 would turn the verb into its past tense determiner form. 는 turns the verb into its present tense determiner form.
ㄴ/은 turns adjectives into their present tense determiner form.

[jlee21231]

This should not be accepted. This sentence means that I am talking with the man who is (in the middle of the act of) sitting down. If you want it to mean "I am talking with the man who is seated," that would be 저는 앉아 있는(or계신) 남자하고(or와) 이야기하고 있어요.

[Juan738101]

Why is it 남자하고 instead of 남자를?

[Coup_d.Etat]

를 is the accusative particle (direct object). 하고 means and/with, so this is more "I'm talking WITH the seated man" (to would be 에게 (indirect object)) but regarless of how you say it people will understand you.

[Samuel731879]

Rubbish!!!

[NicoleJung11]

앉는 남자 wrong
앉아있는 남자 right
