안녕하세요,선생님들 ^-^
이 좋은 비디오를 줘서 감사합니다.
그리고, 저는 질문이 있어요.도와 주세요.
“휴식을 취하다” – take a rest ( Is it a fixed phrase? as I saw in a book but it is translated “취하다” into “get drunk”.)
In PDF,there is a sentence ” 도로 위로 꽃들이 놓여져 있습니다.”
- I am wondering what does this “놓여지다” mean? Does it mean ” bloom ” ?
가르쳐 주세요.
감사합니다!!! ^-^
Caddie : )
취(醉)하다 means “to get drunk” and 취(取)하다 means “to obtain”. And yes, 휴식을 취하다 is a fixed expression : )
And 놓다 [no-ta] means “to put something down” “to put something somewhere” “to place something” and 놓여지다 is the passive voice of the verb : )
Hope this helps!
현우씨, 감사합니다. ^-^
So which means ” 취하다” got two meaning,right? And it only can be diffrentiated by chinese character (“醉”or”取”) ,but in korean character is the same. Am I right?
May I explain to you instead? You’re right!
현우씨가 정말 잘 설명해주었습니다!
Plus, 놓여지다 means “are placed.” (도로 위로: along the path)
놓다 (to place)
놓이다 (to be placed) “PASSIVE -이-” is added.
놓이+어지다=놓여지다 (to be placed) “also PASSIVE”
-어지다 stresses the PASSIVE meaning of “-이-”, but 놓이다 and 놓여지다 are basically the same. So mostly -어지다 is not necessary and sometime sounds “too much” to me.
Affixes that make a verb into its passive version include “-이-”, “-히-”, “-리-”, “-기-.” All verbs fall into one of these four groups.
잡다 (to catch) / 잡히다(to be caught) / 잡혀지다
쓸다 (to sweep) / 쓸리다(to be swept) / 쓸려지다
쫓다 (to chase) / 쫓기다(to be chased) / 쫓겨지다
Allen씨,감사합니다! ^-^
