"The sitting man's bag is empty."

Translation: 앉는 남자의 가방이 비어 있어요.

[okottacat]

'앉아있는' 남자의 가방'은' 비어 있어요

[wintertriangles]

I like your sentence more. 앉는 남자 sounds like "the man who is currently in the process of sitting down"

[Ash-Fred]

You are correct.

[nochu971]

What's the difference of 이 and 은 in 가방?

[Ash-Fred]

That is what one would normally say but please note that it is a different sentence. Both are now accepted.

[tessabanessa]

비어? Can someone explain the irregular

[Lorenzo410951]

고 있다 is added after action verb, and 아/어 있다 is added after stative verb.

[Crrct_my_Eng_thx]

I know it's continuous lesson, but "앉아 있는(or at least 앉은)" is definitely more natural in Korean language. Or does this sentence really mean "the man is in the process of sitting down"?

[Ash-Fred]

Yes, that is correct. This is the reverse exercise of this.

[giuliorsi]

why 비어 있어요 and not 비어요?

[Anastasia_Vale26]

Is 비어 a verb? Why is there no 고 before 있어요?

[Ash-Fred]

"비고 있어요" would mean it is in the process of being emptied.

[fayedisc]

so what is 비어요 and how is it different from 비어 있어요?

[you-eto.ty]

비어 is an adjective (dictionary form being 비다)

[Ash-Fred]

비다 is a verb.

[QLY27]

앉아 있는 남자의 가방이 비어있어요. is right. 앉는 남자의 가방이 비어 있어요.is wrong

[Ash-Fred]

Not what you would commonly hear. Not wrong.

[njkim2]

앉는 ㅡㅡ 앉아있는

[Marijoski]

I put "the sitting man has an empty bag" and it was marked wrong...

[llewellyn.1]

It's technically a different sentence. "My bag is empty" -> the subject is 'my bag' and the verb is 'to be empty'. "I have an empty bag" -> the subject is me, the object is 'an empty bag' and the verb is 'to have'.

Why 비어 and not 벼?
