"The man writes the newspaper."

Translation: 남자가 신문을 씁니다.

[TeamHPDR_Hen1103]

씁니다, or 적습니다?

[SoobinLee3]

I'm native Korean speaker, and I would use 씁니다. Cause 신문을 적습니다 sounds really awkward.

[RaniaBelhaj]

감사합니다 ❤

[nleconte]

Thank you, native Korean :)

[TeacherKaye]

Does this mean his is writing (for the newspaper, as in he is a journalist), or writing (to the newspaper, like... for a complaint or something)

[nleconte]

I think 적습니다 is more related to write something down (after hearing it).

씁니다 is the more general "to write".

[patnsc]

That's kind of right. 씁니다 is used for writing using your creativity like for song lyrics or a book. For 적습니다 however, it's more of just the act of writing. Like when you write down a memo or a phone number after hearing it just like what you said.

Hope this helps!

감사합니다 :) this really helped

[NatureNuggets]

I was thinking the same thing.

[giacomo-jimmy]

I used -이 instead of -을 for newspaper, can someone explain why that's wrong?

[IngeborgHa14]

Well, newspaper is the object of write, it is not the newspaper which writes something.

Thank you all of you so much ! <3

Hi all! When do we use 남자가 and 넘사는?

[wonydoll]

first of all: I don't think the word "넘사는" exits (?).
I think you're asking what is the difference between "는/은" and "가/이".

"는" and "은" are used to denote the topic of a sentence.
"는" is used after a noun that ends in a vowel. (ex. 엄마는)
"은" is used after a noun that ends in a consonant. (ex. 책은)

"가" and "이" are used to denote the subject of a sentence.
"가" is used after a noun that ends in a vowel. (ex. 학교가)
"이" is used after a noun that ends in a consonant. (ex. 이름이)

When do we use 를/을??

[CashDelaCr]

i typed "남자는 신문을 씁니다", but it said that the "신문을" was a typo and has to be 신문 to be correct. I don't understand.

[Yuni127436]

Can "남자는 신문이 씁니다" b used instead?

[taetiger1]

It's also mean as 신물을 남자가 씁니다
