Are you excited to travel to France? in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Breakdown of the sentence:

1. 프랑스로 (peulangseuro)
 • 프랑스 means “France.”
 • The particle -로 indicates direction or “to,” so 프랑스로 means “to France.”

2. 여행하는 (yeohaenghaneun)
 • 여행하다 means “to travel.”
 • -하는 is the present modifier form that turns a verb into an adjective, qualifying the next noun. Here it becomes “traveling.”

3. 것이 (geosi)
 • 것 means “thing” or “act.”
 • The subject marker -이 attaches to 것, making “the act of traveling” the subject of the sentence.

4. 신나나요? (sinnanayo?)
 • 신나다 means “to be excited.”
 • 신나나요 is the adjective in a questioning form, politely asking “Is it exciting?” or “Are you excited?”

Tips to remember:
• Notice that 프랑스로 uses the -로 particle to indicate the destination “to France.”
• Recognize that adding -하는 to 여행하다 turns it into an adjective (“traveling”) that can modify a noun like 것.
• Understand that 것 is often used to nominalize a phrase, turning an action into a “thing” or concept.
• 신나나요? is the question form that politely asks about excitement; the -나요 ending is useful in polite questions.
