Why not "that child over there eats cheese"?

Cheese touch!

[AlexanderJ69420]

Is eating should work as well

[Murakel]

Continuous non-past and indicative non-past are different tenses in both English and Korean; "is eating" has a different verb ending that's taught later in the course.

[KanKanMikan]

omg, why is cheese have to be "치즈" and not "치스", so weird

[mhin1]

Pretty sure all English accents pronounce "cheese" with a "z" sound: "cheez".

즈 more closely matches the "z" sound than "스".

[Tilsii]

Could this also mean "my child eats cheese"

[Kou_kr]

Not really, because the child has topic marker [아이 (는)]

It should be "저의 아이를 치즈가 먹어요"

[Buchukimchi]

That actually means that the cheese eats your child. 은/는 and 이/가 mark the subject and/or topic of the sentence and 을/를 marks the object of the sentence. In other words, xx는 eats xx를.

저 아이 means "that child (over there)."

In this case 저 is the same as is used in 저쪽, 저기, 저편.

To make it "my child" all you have to do is change it to 저의 아이 or 제 아이. In this case 저 means I or me, 의 means from/of (possessive), so 저의 literally means "my."

저의 = 제 (my) > 제 아이 = my child

저 (저기) = over there > 저 아이 = that child (over there)
