We trust our sunshine.... He will shine from south korea.....

[carreno1992]

I put "how is there sunlight without sun".... i say close enough.

[ErikRed1]

I think that'd be more 해가 없는 햇빛이 어떻게 있어요

[suhandiwiratama]

That is true.

[Meeeeganp]

Shouldn't "When there is no sun, how is there sunlight?" Also be accepted?

[Madhumitha_N]

Btw in other example, 햇빛이 also meant sun along with sunshine.
So are there any particular rules for placing 햇빛이 instead of 해?

[sean.mullen]

햇빛 only means 'sun' as a clipping of 'sunshine' or 'sunlight', which we get by an extremely common process called metonymy, in this case part-whole metonymy, where the rays of the sun are referred to by the sun itself. 해 is the actual word for the celestial body in space.

Doesn't 태양 also mean sun? Why does it have two names

[sean.mullen]

태양 is Sino-Korean, 해 is native Korean. Having two synonyms with different origins is really common.

[talynnn]

If no sun is there, how is sunlight there?

[LukeMadhan]

I had written, "How can you have sunlight if there is no sun?" I underatand why this is wrong, but what would that sentence be in Korean?
