One of the most common mistakes made by foreign learners of Korean is misusing particles.
In Korean, particles determine the role of each sentence component, so using them incorrectly can completely change the meaning.
Another mistake happens when translating English expressions directly into Korean. This also happens when Koreans write in English. (I'm one of them. ๐↕️๐↕️)
However, as in the example above, we need to be careful not to create phrases that could lead to misunderstandings, right?
What the person originally meant was,
"I will do a big cleaning next year."
Since "๋ด๋ " is translated as "next year" in English, they literally translated it as "๋ค์ ๋ " (next year).
The problem is that by adding the particle "์ด," Koreans would interpret "๋ " as the subject, and "๋ค์" would be seen as an adjective modifying the subject.
And since "๋ " can also be used in a derogatory way to refer to a woman (bitch), "๋ค์ ๋ ์ด" ends up meaning "next bitch," not "next year." ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
In short, this person essentially said,
"Next bitch will do a big cleaning."
Can you see the Korean person laughing with "ใ ใ ใ " below?
Now, let's take a look at time nouns like "๋ด๋ ."
