Correct Answer(s)

Particles "μ" and "λ₯Ό" are used to identify the direct object in Korean. These particles are attached to the noun that is receiving the action of the verb. The choice of using "μ" or "λ₯Ό" depends on the final consonant sound of the noun. If the noun ends in a vowel or a consonant other than "γΉ", "μ" is used. If the noun ends in a consonant "γΉ", "λ₯Ό" is used. Therefore, the correct answer is "μ,λ₯Ό" as these particles are specifically used to mark the direct object in a sentence.Rate this question:

To which language category does Korean belong?
-
Isolating
-
Analytic
-
Agglutinative
Correct Answer
A. AgglutinativeExplanation
Korean belongs to the agglutinative language category. In agglutinative languages, words are formed by adding affixes to a root, which allows for the creation of complex words with multiple meanings. In Korean, grammatical relationships are expressed through the addition of suffixes to the root words, indicating tense, mood, and other grammatical features. This characteristic of agglutination sets Korean apart from isolating languages, where words are not typically modified, and analytic languages, where grammatical relationships are expressed through word order and function words.Rate this question:
