Finally some good advice, Duo! No more of this throwing of bowls. Or beds...

[D8amx]

or friends, or cakes...

[Aerologia]

Cats as well.

[BluejayD.]

I agree; good advice. Yes, please don't give them chocolate. They are way too precious to get sick.

Can someone explain the "에게" following 개 and the "지" following 주?

[ANeFv]

To my knowledge, in this case, 에게 would be a particle that means the equivalent of "to" and the suffix ~지 마 means "don't" (literally in this case 주지 마요, "give-dont".)

[Iron_Venema]

에게 means that you're doing (usually giving) something to somebody. Thats why 에게 is usually used with 주다. So, 개에게, to to dog.

[ANeFv]

Birds either!

[Lackbittern]

Very good advice!

Yes, please! Let's not give chocolate to dogs. It's toxic to them (and cats). Good advice.

How do you determine the order you put words in korean?

[Valencia25174]

Why did they not accept, "Do not give dogs chocolate?"

[BlueStreetLight]

Is the dictionary form of give 주다?

[j0keri]

Yes

[BlueStreetLight]

In '초콜릿을' it sounds like before the '을' the ㅅ is pronounced normally. Are 이 and 으 both vowels where the final ㅅ is pronounced normally instead of like ㄷ?
