[kittenpuff]

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

[D8amx]

or friends, or cakes...

[...sobia...]

Duo want to say don't give to your dogs, give me

[John-Charl6]

Or eating that in the bathroom.

[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!

[Biklar]

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

[CobraCaio]

Duolingo's first PSA

[YunoluvzMH]

That's right we are not harming dogs around here :)

[Lackbittern]

Very good advice!

[JacobJun2]

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

[KyleDelane6]

The tips explain that the basic order is subject-object-verb but the particles allow you to rearrange words as you please as long as the verb goes last

[Valencia25174]

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

[BlueStreetLight]

Is the dictionary form of give 주다?

[j0keri]

Yes

[BlueStreetLight]

Thank you!

[ahNoorv]

Why is it dogs not dog

[sPiDErJiN]

FINALLY! some gud advice! Please don't give dogs, cats, or any other type of animal chocolate if it's toxic for them.

[KungKras]

Good advice!

[KyleDelane6]

Why is it 초콜릿? Why was chocolate transliterated with a ㅅ at the end instead of a ㄷ?

[sunooshi]

Also don't give coffee to cats please

[BabyOwl223]

I wrote: give the dog chocolate juice and I was genuinely concerned and confused

[Wavesofkhushi]

Not only dogs but also all the animals

[hagathachristie]

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?

[KyleDelane6]

ㅅ is only pronounced like ㄷ when it's the final consonant. In this case it's followed by 을 so the consonant carries over to the next syllable to make 슬

[deelady4real]

Would 안 해요 work here too?

[KyleDelane6]

No, it would not. Wrong verb, wrong mood, wrong form of negation.
