"할머니 팔꿈치가 검은색이에요."

Translation: My grandmother's elbow is black.

[LemonyLite]

Why doesn't 할머니 have the 의 ending for the genitive?

[buusku]

It can be dropped if the meaning is clear without.

[OliverKalman]

You are right, possession is omitted here.

And don't to get confused with 할머니는 팔꿈치가 검은색이에요, which means "my grandmother has a black elbow".

[Ash-Fred]

I would also translate that as "My grandmother's elbow is black." "팔꿈치" is the subject in both sentences.

[SimplyAng7]

I dont understand why grandmother's elbows are black is wrong. There is nothing indicating "my".

If this is real, GO TO THE HOSPITAL STRAIT AWAY

[Ash-Fred]

Well, if she is black, her elbow is probably black, too.

[Iron_Venema]

Lmao

[astgarrido]

Oh my gosh hahaha

[nzfleisher]

Hopefully it's just some dirt that she could wash off

[KittyBlossom0802]

This doesn't make sense. If 발꿈치 is heel then how is 팔꿈치 an elbow? Shouldn't it be the wrist?

[Ash-Fred]

I guess the wrist would be 손꿈치 in that way? For your reference the wrist is 손목 and the ankle is 발목.

[KyleDelane6]

Can Koreans easily hear the difference between 발 and 팔 or do they miscommunicate that sometimes?

[williamleitzman]

It would be like bear / pear in English.

[soobee620]

Can someone explain why 할머니는 is wrong?

[HobiWaterluv]

maybe cause it's the subject of the sentence?

[Rae781]

Can someone explain why "my grandmother's black elbow" wasn't accepted?

[KyleDelane6]

Because that's a phrase and not a sentence

[KaluluShey]

So is mine... Cause of my race ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
