I had an accident so it hurts a lot in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

The sentence is structured as follows:

• “사고” means “accident.”
• The object marker “를” attaches to “사고” to indicate that the accident is what was experienced.
• “당해서” comes from the verb “당하다” (to undergo, to suffer), with “-해서” forming a connective clause that means “because of” or “due to.”
• “많이” is an adverb meaning “a lot.”
• “아파요” is the polite present form of “아프다” (to hurt or to be in pain).

Romanized, the sentence is: “Sago-reul danghaeseo manhi apayo.”

Tips to remember:
• Recognize that Korean often uses markers (like “를” for objects) to show the role of each noun.
• Note that “당해서” is used to connect the cause (having an accident) to the result (feeling pain).
• Remember that adverbs such as “많이” usually come directly before the verb they modify.
