Object marker - 을 / 를

Object marker - 을 / 를

Similarly, object needs an object marker. There are two object markers; 을 and 를.

• ~을

제프는 닭볶음을 먹었어요(ate). : Jeff ate dakbokkum.

When the object has a 받침, like 닭볶음, "을" is added to the end to mark that the word is the object of the sentence.

• 를

효정이는 사과(apple)를 먹었어요(ate). : Hyojeong ate an apple.

Likewise, when the object does not have a 받침, like 사과, "를" is added to the end to mark that the word is the object of the sentence.

A helpful tip for picking the right marker: when there's a 받침, the following marker's 초성(starting consonant) is "ㅇ" which is silent.

- 선생님이
- 닭볶음을

- 엄마가
- 사과를
