"너는 왜 채식주의자야?"

Translation: Why are you a vegetarian?

[SofieRose22]

Because the world is ending and climate change needs us to stop eating meat. Im vegan btw

Why is "Why are you vegetarian?" not accepted as a correct answer?

[OKAMOTO_Yusuke]

I quite agree. The word "vegetarian" can be used as noun and adjective. Though "Why are you a vegetarian?" (noun) is one of correct answers, "Why are you vegetarian?" (adjective) would be preferred in general and should be accepted. Reported on Nov. 12, 2017.

i think it's along the lines of what you said, that "a vegetarian" clearly means it's a noun, and just saying "you vegetarian" would mean it's an adjective.

I think because that way would make it an adjective, that it would be said differently.

Can someome break down the vegetarian part? Is vegetarian really all those words?

채식주의자 is a Sino-Korean word from the Hanja 菜食主義者.

채식주의자 = 채 (菜, "vegetable") + 식 (食, "food") + 주의 (主義, "doctrine") + 자 (者, "person")

I use the app on mobile phone. 의자야 was on the second line and for a sec I was translating the sentence like: "Why are you... 채식주...chair? What chair?!" lol

"Why do you drink soju?"

[imma_potato123]

Because i hate to see poor animals dying for people's taste. It's creepy so i choose to have veggies.

[Dhwani_.911]

Because it's a choice:)

Can someone help me pronounce 채식의자야? The narrator pronounces 의자 kind of different, like they got blended together...
