My brother takes photos of Minseo in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Sentence breakdown:
• “제” means “my.” It’s the polite form of “my” (short for “저의”) and is placed before the noun it modifies.
• “동생은” is “sibling” (동생) with the topic particle “은.” It tells us that the sibling is the topic or subject of the sentence.
• “민서 사진을” combines “민서” (a person’s name) with “사진” (photo) to function as a compound noun meaning “Minseo photo(s).” The object particle “을” marks this compound as the object of the action. (A note: When emphasizing that the picture belongs to Minseo in the possessive sense, you might use “민서의 사진” instead.)
• “찍어요” is the polite present tense form of the verb “찍다” (to take a photo).

Structure tip:
Korean follows a subject–object–verb order. Remember that particles like “은” (topic/subject marker) and “을” (object marker) indicate the role of each noun, so once you learn these particles, you can more easily identify and form sentences.

“Je dongsaengeun Minseo sajineul jjigeoyo.”
