"쉰 명이 함께 와인을 마십니다."

Translation: Fifty people drink wine together.

[tehjuneee]

While this sentence is technically understandable, I've never heard "쉰 명" used to say 50 people. It's more natural to say "오십" here.

[T._S.]

Ya l. Korean person just said I would sound dumb using 쉰 and not 오십

[Sebihoo]

I first thought "we drink 50 wines together" ;)

[Kiyomice]

명이 is the counter for humans. So if you see 명이, you can know it's talking about 50 people, not 50 drinks.

[Idea_Dynamo]

Sounds like a party.

[RayO_Jag]

Or a bacchanal.

[cccchhaarrrr]

So as long as we use the correct counter, we don't always have to specify the noun before?

[LisaEeyore]

Yet "fifty of them drink wine together" wasn't accepted as a translation to English :(

[jahz08]

So when do you use 함께 and when do you use 같이

[WildWolf006]

They can be used interchangeably, 함께 is just more formal, that's the difference.

[GACQUER]

Why can't I say "50 persons",instead of 50 people ?

[WildWolf006]

Because in English we don't use "persons" as the plural form of "person", we say "people". So saying 50 persons would be wrong in English.

we are in a pandemic, this is a crime

[Silvana557773]

I put 'Fifty people dink wine together' and was wrong, is really wrong? ;(

[wintertriangles]

You wrote "dink"

[racqyb]

I got caught in a few typos like that, lol

[safibta]

What's the difference between 함께 and 가티?

[SLee723]

Do you mean 가치?

[SLee723]

I mean 같이

[astgarrido]

I wrote "Fifty people drink wine." and it gets marked as wrong. It should be accepted.

[WildWolf006]

You forgot to write "together"

[yoongiibae]

you didn't write 'together'

[BTS_ARMY_71113]

You have to write together too

[flowerkityy]

Would "Fifty people are drinking wine together" also count?

[OneBottleOfWater]

Gramatically speaking, is it okay to put 함께 after 와인을? how do native koreans usually structure it?

[Precy-Mike]

"Persons", "People" same difference...Duo!
