When you want to say something like, “it depends on the situation”, “it depends on the person”, or “it depends on how soon you finish this”, you need to use the structure -에 따라 다르다 [-e tta-ra da-reu-da] or -마다 다르다 [-ma-da da-reu-da]. This is quite different than the verb for “to depend”, which is literally translated to 의지하다 [ui-ji-ha-da] or 의존하다 [ui-jon-ha-da] and is only when you are talking about actually being “dependent” on someone about a certain matter.

경은 씨와 형우 씨:
전 칠레 온 까밀로예요.
이 문법에 대해서 자세히 설명해서 고마워요. “-마다 다르다”라는 것을 잘 아는데 “-에 따라 다르다”라는 것을 잘 몰랐어요.
TTMIK 선생님한테서 많이 배웠지만 이번은 처음 논평해요.
현우 씨는 미국사람처럼 영어를 해요. 스페인어도 잘 하고요?
안녕히 계세요!
Sorry for typing error, I wrote 형우 instead of 현우 at the beginning. 정말 미안해요.
Hi! Thank you for this useful lesson.
Can you please read my own sample sentence and correct it when it’s wrong? I’d like to know if I could get this lesson right.
항공권 가격은 구할 때에 따라 달라져

Is that right? thank you!

어디서 한국어를 배우는지에 따라 달라요. – 맞아요?
잘들었습니다 ^_^
저는 보면서 질문을 생겼네요. 저는 예전에 “어떻게 쓰냐에 따라 달라요”, 이런말 친구한테서 가르쳐졌는데, 그 문장 안에는, 왜 “냐” 쓰는지 아직도 몰라서 “냐” 쓰는 이유가 혹시 설명 할수있으세요? 부탁드립니다 ^^
그리고 실수 했으면 잘고쳐주세요
고맙습니다

Hello! I am wondering about “사람마다 달라요”. So this meaning is “it is different for every person”. How would I compare the sentence, “Every person is different”? My very very quick guess is that maybe it’s something like this: 다 사람이 달라요…
maybe?
Thanks so much! You guys are the best.
“Every person is different” is actually the more literal meaning of 사람마다 달라요 or 사람마다 다 달라요.
사람이 다 달라요 or 사람이 모두 달라요 or 모든 사람이 다 달라요 might be more like “these people are all different” or “everybody are different here” “all these people here are not like… something” (not necessary respectively).
(여기에) 다 사람이 you will probably only see finish with 아니에요. These all people, are not, (there’s also animals here), or something like that.
I mean if you write full sentence, to express like “Favored food is different for every person” – 제일 좋은 음식은 사람마다 달라요 , but literally its – first good food, every person different.
So “it is different for every person” and “Every person is different” is same thing, depends on the context.
That’s how I see it at least…
