It was not good that you had so much alcohol in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Structure Explanation:
• 당신이 (dangsin-i) – “you” with the subject particle attached.
• 그렇게 (geureoke) – “so” or “that way,” modifying the following adjective.
• 많은 (manheun) – “many/much,” an adjective modifying “술.”
• 술을 (sul-eul) – “alcohol” with the object particle.
• 마셨다는 (masyeotdaneun) – a relative clause formed from the past tense verb 마셨다 (“drank”) plus the connective –다는, which turns the clause into a noun modifier meaning “that (you) drank.”
• 것이 (geos-i) – “thing” or “fact” with the subject particle, referring back to the entire clause “you drank so much alcohol.”
• 좋지 않았습니다 (johji anhaetseumnida) – “was not good,” in the formal past negative form.

Tips to Remember:
• When converting a verb into a clause that modifies a noun, attach –다는 after the dictionary or past form (as with 마셨다 → 마셨다는) to denote “the fact that…”
• Note particle usage: ‘이’ for subjects and ‘을’ for objects help you track who is doing what.
• The structure “[clause] + 것이 + [adjective]” is a common way to express “the fact that…” in Korean.
