It is good that they think about it in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

The sentence is broken down into several parts that combine to express “It is good that they think about it.” Here’s the structure:

1. “그들이”
 • Meaning: “they.”
 • Note: This is the subject (of the subordinate clause) in its nominative case.

2. “그것에 대해”
 • Meaning: “about it.”
 • Note: “에 대해” is a phrase used to indicate “concerning/about” the preceding noun.

3. “생각하는”
 • Meaning: “thinking” or “that think.”
 • Note: This is the verb “생각하다” (to think) turned into a descriptive form modifying the next noun. It functions similarly to a relative clause in English (“who think” or “that think”).

4. “것이”
 • Meaning: “the thing” or “that which.”
 • Note: The clause “그들이 그것에 대해 생각하는” is nominalized by turning it into “것,” making it the subject of the following predicate. The particle “이” marks “것” as the subject.

5. “좋습니다”
 • Meaning: “is good.”
 • Note: This is the predicate of the sentence.

Romanized, the whole sentence is:
 geudeuli geugeos-e daehae saenggakhaneun geos-i johseumnida

Tips to remember:
• Use “에 대해” after a noun to express “about” that subject.
• To nominalize a clause, add “것” after the descriptive form of the verb, and mark it with the subject particle (이/가).
• The descriptive "~하는" form comes from replacing the final 다 in the dictionary form of the verb with ~하는 when modifying a noun.

Alternate ways to express “It is good that they think about it”:
• 그들이 그것에 대해 생각하는 게 좋아요.
 – Romanized: geudeuli geugeos-e daehae saenggakhaneun ge joayo
 – Note: Here “것이” is contracted to “게” and the ending is made more casual with “좋아요.”
• 그들이 그것에 대해 생각하는 건 좋습니다.
 – Romanized: geudeuli geugeos-e daehae saenggakhaneun geon johseumnida
 – Note: “것이” becomes “건” in a contracted form, with the same meaning as the original sentence.

These structures provide flexibility for both formal and informal contexts while conveying the same idea.
