Pigs are actually much bigger than most of the people think... A normal pig can be up to around 2 meters long and can easily weight 200kg. For an animal of this size carrying a 85kg man is not a terrible task
Why is it 님자가? Could 님자는 work? Dont understand how its the secondary subject marker?
It's so funny when I translate "남자가 돼지를 타요" on google hahahaha it says the man is a pig. And when I type "남자가 돼지를 탑니다" it says the man is wearing a pig. Hahaha I can't believe it hahahaha. That's why I think "가" is not the right word. Am I right?
Because 을/를 is an object marker. Whatever it is attached to is not the main focus of the sentence or is not performing any action. The subject marker 이 (for nouns ending in consonants) and 가 (for nouns ending in vowels) is the thing/person doing the action. Sentence structure is korean is subject/object/verb. It took me a long time to identify these parts of the sentence and to learn their order. Keep practicing. Hope this helps.
I believe the subject marker with neun/eun should always come before the object markers in a gramatically correct sentence.
Why r there 2 options 타요 and 탑니다? Aren't them the same just different level of politeness?
The question i got before this was translated as 'the chicken rides a horse' but i answered 'the chicken rides on a horse' and i got it wrong. but now, with same construction of the sentence, it translates to 'the man rides on a pig' why not the man rides a pig'??
