"I eat a banana with coffee."

Translation: 바나나를 커피와 함께 먹습니다.

[jaolsn]

I thought 와 was "with". Is 함께 redundant?

[wintertriangles]

Yes, they're often used together though

[TeoJr]

If they are "often" used together, it means you "can" drop 함께 then. Correct?

[dellamoradebs]

I understand 와 as "and". So it would be something like "I eat banana and coffee together", I guess

[Soccermom98]

I left it out on purpose and was counted correct.

[dpatkat]

That combo changes sentence from "and" to mean "with". Notice that banana is object (를) of eat.

[JuniperGhi]

In the English translation, it says "I eat a banana with coffee." But in the Korean translation, I see no "I." Why is there no "I" in the Korean version?

[rainy3000]

I had this problem too. Is it common to drop "I" in Korean?

[BamenAchim]

Yes. "I" is often understood in Korean and is often dropped in Korean conversation. It's why you learned "죄송합니다" rather than "저는 죄송합니다" as the other person you're speaking with/to Would already understand that it's you who is sorry.

[DavidDelaC873754]

Can't we put 저는 바나나를 커피와 함께 먹어요?
I tried to put it and I got a wrong answer...

[AnonyLearner]

in this context, is 하고 still interchangeable with 와 or no? (Ex. 바나나를 커피하고 함께 먹습니다.")

[anthonyn]

How about this? 저는 바나나를 커피하고 먹어요

[dellamoradebs]

Shouldn't "커피와" come first because of the "와"?

[VernicaEle6]

It would, if the sentence were "I eat coffee and banana", but I think the context here is more like: every time I eat a banana, I also have coffee

[RQZ.Sash]

저는 바나나를 커피하고 먹어요 got rejected... bug or grammar error?

[James.Kuo]

Is it correct if I wrote the following:

"저는 커피로 바나나를 먹어요"

[clnny]

That would be: "I eat a banana using/for coffee".
Now im really curious about your banana eating habits

[Sharpadogge]

Why is "바나나를 커피하고 함께 먹어" wrong?

[elizabethsolisss]

Is 저는 바나나하고 커피를 먹어요 a possible answer?
