Noun + ~에 대해 / 대해서 Verb → Verb about Noun
Ex.: 역사에 대해 배우다 = to learn about history. -
Noun1 + ~에 대한 Noun2 → Noun2 about Noun1
Ex.: 역사에 대한 책 = a book about history.
This comes from the verb 대하다, one of whose meanings is 'to pertain / relate to something'.
Edit: I came across this cool sentence after posting this comment. It shows the usage of both 대해 and 대한 in one sentence.
그들은 한국의 경제에 대한 책에 대해 대화해요 = they converse about the book about Korea's economy.
is the singular/plural of 책 plural by default? i wrote "a book" but got it wrong
册 is the simplified version of 冊 used in mainland China; Hanja uses 冊
Based on logic, one would automatically think books rather than a single book because it's more than one student
I think "to read about the economy" would be more like "경제에 대해서 읽다" and "read a book about economy" is specifying that there's a book they're reading and it's about economy, "경제에 대한 책".
Yes. Why is the translation answer marked wrong when "book" is included, as 책 is part of the sentence?
the students reads BIG-HAN book in the economy everyday (I'm never serious)
