"저는 공부를 합니다."

Translation: I study.

[alex_wei]

Shouldn't this be just 저는 공부합니다 ?

[wintertriangles]

It's the same

[ph.lbvrgH]

No, there should be something you need to add

[Stephanie160346]

Is there a reason that 공부합니다 becomes 공부를 합니다?

[nleconte]

No, the same. Maybe a very slight emphasis on the noun in the latter case.

[SveinTerje1]

Why isn't "I am studying" accepted?

[JeghedderShai]

저는 공부를 합니다 literally means "I do [my] studies"

To say I am studying(at the moment) you'd say 저는 공부하고 있어요.

[JeghedderShai]

Or 있습니다 :)

[armyengenestaymo]

Why it's 공부를 ? I mean why '를' is added???

[Sonja699450]

the ending makes it "study" the direct object (a noun) not the the action

[Kathin3]

Because "I study" isn't necessarily present. It just means that you are a person that studies, while "I am studying" means you are literally in the process of studying.

[Amy_Learn]

Could it be: "I do study" because it is saying the verb to be/is?

[FA_Silence]

I had the same impression " I do the study"

[PDXDJP]

Yes I agree. Similarly, 저는 노래를 합니다 means something like "I do a song."

[JoyceEliza4]

I think that is quite literal, though I don't think it would be wrong (anyone correct me if I'm wrong)

[SuperSizedSmiley]

Yes, I am studying Korean.

[albie_01]

What's the difference between 합 니 다 and 집 니 다?

[Nat808das]

I guess it's the ending of the stem of the verb 공부하다. But I'm not sure about it yet. I've seen a lot of verb stems ending with 하.
At this speech level 합쇼체, when the verb stem ends with a vowel the ending is -ㅂ니다 and when the stem verb ends with a consonant the ending is -습니다.
I hope it helps.

[Sonja699450]

why is it not "I have to study"?

[ph.DP82Nr]

No

[ArchNiki1]

im confused that i do an exersize is not right ?
