"Most of us want to go."
Translation:우리 대부분 가고 싶어요.

대 comes from the hanja 'big' and 부분 means 'part' so 대부분 means 'majority' or 'the most part of something'
It can come before or after. I haven't noticed if it happens more one way or another though. If it comes before you can add ~의, like 대부분의 지역 (most of the region), but as usual the article is often dropped as well.
Doesn't Korean put descriptions of quanity after the noun, such as using numbers followed by a counter word? I think 분 is also a counter word, so maybe this is the same.

It looks like it reads "we want to go for the most part" where 대부분 reads as "for the most part"
If 대부분 comes after the noun, do you not have to use a particle on the noun anymore?
I think it's because it's 우리의. 의 is dropped. As in the most OF US want to go. Now my question is why don't we put a marker on 대부분
Still not understanding what difference Duolingo is trying to define between 우리 and 우리들. I can't seem to figure it out, and starting to get frustrated.
From what i have gathered you use 들 to make it clear that you are taking about multiple ppl and not just yourself. For example 우리 어머니는 could mean my mother or our mother. If you write 우리들 then it can only mean our mother.
Here we are talking about "most of us" which is obviously about multiple ppl, so you just drop the 들.
At least that's how i understood it, i m not native.
