"There are only sixty-one books at the library."

Translation: 도서관에 책 예순한 권만이 있습니다.

[xtasis8]

What is 권만이?

[wintertriangles]

권 is the counter for books, 만 is only, 이 is the subject particle

Why can't we put "library" right before the verb and not in the beginning?

[BrettySpaghetti]

Technically you can but it doesn't sound as natural when speaking.

[Kanransha731770]

Korean, Chinese and Japanese all tend to put the adverbial of place/time in the beginning of the sentence (at the very start or after the subject/topic).

[WildWildBasch]

Why is there a subject particle after 권만, should 만 simply replace other possible particles?

[llewellyn.1]

I don't know if 'only' technically counts as a particle (I wouldnt have thought so), but 만 doesn't play the role of a particle at all. So no it doesn't replace any subject/topic/location/etc particle.

"책 예순한 권만이 도서관에 있습니다" wasn't accepted

[Leighton_F]

Why is "있어요" not accepted as the last word?

[Duo_Euphoria]

It is correct just a bit less formal

[BobaBunny5]

Why is 도서권에서 wrong? Since you are indicating that the books are just existing at the library, couldn't you use it like that?

[J7jx10]

에서 requires action while 에 is for stable position

[giuliorsi]

why 권만이 and not just 권만? i know that it's the particle 이 but in another excercise they used 마리만 instead of 마리만이...

[yoonhyemi]

I wanna know that too

[deactivated user]

This might sound stupid, but in this case why is it not 책이/은 ? Is it because the 권만이 already states the subject?

[Soccermom98]

I've noticed that all the counters have the participles instead of the noun

[mhin1]

The subject particle goes either on the noun or its counter, which occurs last. Typical order is Noun+Number+Counter+Particle.

Why cant it be 예순한만?

[ChloeB43]

만 has to go after the counter word (which in the case of books, is "권" So the phrase has to be 책 예순한 권만

[Sapiolataa]

" 책 여순한 권만이 도서관에 있습니다." is not acceptable. Why?
