Could this be the question: How many people meet everyday?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/BrettySpaghetti

Nope, because in the sentence '몇 명을', the 을 makes people the object, meaning that someone or something is meeting the people. For your sentence, it would work if you said 몇 명이, cuz the 이 would make people the subject, meaning they would be doing the meeting (instead of people being the object where someone or something is meeting the people). Hopefully that makes sense.

We've been told in Korean it is common to omit understood pronouns. Perhaps when they want to emphasize your concept instead, they add words like the few we learned for 'together' or change the ending of the verb? With the lack of context in these exercises, I try to look for these types of patterns in each lesson.

for that sentence, there would probably be a topic particle on everyday, for this one, there should be a topic particle probably on "you" but like the other people say, they omit it

fun fact 몇명 is pronounced 면 명

Honestly I think saying 며 명을 is less of a mouthful than either of those

Im assuming since the subject is omitted that the person beimg spolen to is the subject

I had typed

How many people meet every day

like people speaking in Korea, i missed the pronoun.

    To learn correct pronunciations you should atleast watch k-lessons and watch their mouth while speaking

    Because the way your tongue move affect your pronunciations example is ㅂ(b) sometimes you may pronunce it as ㅍ(p)/ㅁ(m)
