Why is 손님, 조심해십시오. 물은 뜨겁이에요 not accepted?

[JeffersonB538722]

Yes, but put with 님, the term means mister or ma'am

[Taina593824]

[shaurya_0_0]

Why cant i use 덥습니다

[ddy.namjoon]

I dont have these options to pick

[JansonLau1]

Thought 손님 means guest or customer??

[Fabian641875]

Yeah, but in English, you would never call someone "customer", in a work context, you'd call your customers "sir", "ma'am" or things like that, so that's why

[Alinachibi_645]

I don't think something is right. I put exactly " 손님 조심하십시오 물이 뜨겁습니다 " and it's still telling me I have the wrong answer! What happened here?

[Naime2004]

I still don't know :(( how to put the words in the right way , can someone help me?

[AllieC490376]

It IS tricky!!! I'm managing (more or less) by reminding myself Korean is SOV. So I always put the subject first (eg. Water) and the verb last (is). Then, everything else goes in between.

"Hot" in this sentence is the object of the verb "is", so its place is stuck right up against the verb.

With extra parts using prepositions, I think of a string of beads that's one way in English but the opposite in Korean...

So, if I see a sentence like "A + gives + a ball + to B + in the park", I first simplify it to less elements and make the Korean sentence as "A + a ball + gives".

Then for those extra elements, I flip the "to B + in the park" around to become "in the park + to B" and insert it BEFORE the object (a ball).

If another phrase like "with his hand" is added, then I stick it beside the subject of the verb (A) because that's who it relates to.

So for the moment, I'm just following a pattern objectively, but I'm not feeling it and intuitively knowing what goes where. I'm hoping that will come with exposure to many more examples???
Persistence, perseverance, etc, etc!!! ;-)

[soooooooooobin]

Go to youtube and watch some korean grammar lessons. If you're asian then youll see some similarly in grammar.
Korean grammar is quite different from English grammar.

[Cotenero]

How about "조심하십시오, 손님"? I heard that a lot, so that's should be correct too, right?

[r.c.11.]

My answer was right but wasn't accepted :(

[_Indianbtsarmy.]
