"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.

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

[wintertriangles]

You wrote "dink"

[gracie1181]

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

[DanielCoward]

Yes he means that, and from what I gathered, they can be used interchangeably, but I have yet to see solid confirmation of that, just a couple people here and there who have said it.

[V375981]

함께 is more formal, that's it.

[cccchhaarrrr]

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

[GACQUER]

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

[WildWolf7439]

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.

[gucci._.tears]

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

[WildWolf7439]

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

[astgarrido]

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

[WildWolf7439]

You forgot to write "together"
