"The man is from Korea."

Translation: 남자는 한국 출신입니다.

[deactivated user]

Hi, a question. Why does 한국 not have -에 attached here?

Thank you! c:

[wintertriangles]

出身 or 출신 is often coupled with a location to denote a native's homeland (and can also be used with cities, not just countries). It's also not a verb, 이다 is, so it isn't interacting with the location, thus it doesn't require the -에.

[entraptah]

I have the same doubt and I still haven't grasped the idea of it, because, from my viewpoint, 한국에 would kind of translate as "from Korea, in this case", like "The man is native from Korea" as 출신 means "native"

[danlovesyou]

So, conclusion: we add the article "-에" when shome is attached to another thing?

[VIXX_LuvMyself]

When you want to mention that X is/was/will be located in Y.

Please note that 에 has more rules (it's for time also)

[RoberVs]

Lol I used the hint and it was wrong :l

[Diana102374]

What does 출 mean or why is it before 신입니다? Im lost ㅜㅜ

[sharcgirl]

출 means native
신입니다 means to be
The man is native Korean... I think.

[korkeaOlivia]

출신 means native according to Wiktionary, so I suppose it's a stative/existential verb? 출신 + 이다?

[SyedaShuma1]

Why is it not like "남자가한국출신입니다"
I mean its "The man" not "A man" or "Men", so why did we place 는 instead of 가.....????

[KairiFroehlich]

This one confused me a bit as well but the reason is that the topic is not Korea, it is the man, so even though he IS the subject, Koreans tend to prefer to use the topic markers "은/는" when they can. You can also use what you wrote too though. Both versions are technically correct because the man is both the subject and the topic.

[lina176336]

Because the man is the subject in this sentence. 는 is the subject marker it does not matter that it is not plural

[CannedMan]

I thought 는/은 was the topic marker and 가/이 was the subject marker. It's this incorrect?

[RuXjk]

Yes, 은 and 는 are topic markers and 이 and 가 are subject markers.
There are even object markers too 을 and 를.
Each marker have two different syllable because of word ending with vowel or consonant.

But for Duolingo wherever there is 'The' then subject markers are used and wherever there is 'a/an' then topic markers are used, as per my observation.

Hope this helps!

[Taneya03]

The correct answer means they are a korean native. The one that seems right makes it seem as though they left Korea, instead of being born there

[tacosfever2000]

Hi, I wanted to know if "남자는 한국에서 있습니다" was correct for this translation or not ?

[KairiFroehlich]

No, it is not correct. The translation of this sentence does not have a clear meaning that the man's nationality is Korean because it could also mean that the man is currently in Korea. It can still be used in conversation when someone is asking about nationality. They can infer that you mean that the man's nationality is Korean but as a stand-alone on unprompted sentence, it is not clear enough.

[AttyJohnPOquias]

Im still having confusions with the use of particles too

[AbdulRahma62691]

The man is from Korea . in English
•••
But in korean language. .
The man korea is from . ♡

[Laur_Thiess]

It is not working no matter what I do, I've looked it up, and I'm doing it right, but it keeps saying it's wrong.

[Nessa216633]

Why is it not 남자가?

[pasita02]

umm why is it wrong u moTJEHDK OWL

[upasanasah2]

Why is not 그 남자는 한국 출신이다.? 그 Basically means 'that'. So ,The proper translation should be this.

[KairiFroehlich]

It was asking for "The man", not "that man" so your sentence would be incorrect.

[Mao_26]

출신＝出身

[korkeaOlivia]

What's the difference between 출신입니다 and 출신이십니다? According to duo they're both correct.

Thanks

[GiovanniSantucci]

The second one is an honorific form of the verb, used to honor its subject. You might use the second form if the man in question is your grandfather, or holds some political office, for example.

[XeNO-19]

Excuse me but WHY IS THIS WRONG

[KangDew]

Hello fellow ARMY, my bias is Suga, how about yours?

[btsroseunoia7]

V, but I’m OT7 <3

[ph.63ioko]

Mine is kim taehyung

[08blinkarmy08]

Why it is not 가 instead of 는 ?

[08blinkarmy08]

Why 한국 only i not 에is there?

[ph.CJCR4i]

This is so hard

[Hicchan]

Isn't it like the japanese "から来ました"(kara kimashita)?

[wyqtor]

I am still learning both languages, but I would say this sentence is the equivalent of 男の人は韓国出身です。(출신 = 出身)

[581.pajiyBczCwxx]

I just didn’t understand the whole question..... help please XD

[Sandy337573]

When i tapped the hint for Korea it said, "한국에서" but then Duo corrected me by saying, "한국에"
What does, "서" mean?

[nerd_1103]

I guess that the word -에서 would mean "at this place" (action done at or in the place) and 에 would mean "from, this place, etc." (talking about the place or describing the place). Hope this works...

[NicoArcena1]

"The man", so shouldn't it be suffixed 가?

[btsroseunoia7]

Either one works in this case

[YouAreMyPotato]

I'm totally lost with the 는 particle. Like, it means different things but I can't figured it out yet.

[btsroseunoia7]

는 is the topic marker, used to refer to general (not specific) statements such as "A ball" and not "The ball". Like what this other person was saying in the forum, Koreans tend to use 는 in sentences more. Hope this helped!
