Every day I study for 2 hours in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

매일두 시간동안공부합니다 breaks down as follows:

• 매일 (maeil) – “every day.” This time expression is placed at the beginning to set the timeframe.
• 두 (du) – “two.” The numeral comes right before the noun it modifies.
• 시간 (sigan) – “hour.” The noun for “hour” indicates what is being counted.
• 동안 (dongan) – “during; for.” This particle attaches to a noun (시간) to express duration.
• 공부합니다 (gongbu-hamnida) – “study” in the formal polite style. The verb comes at the end, following the typical Korean subject-object-verb order.

Tips to remember the structure:
• Time expressions like 매일 come first.
• Use the numeral (두) directly before the noun (시간) for counting.
• Attach 동안 after a time noun to indicate “for” that period.
• End with a verb in the appropriate form (here, 공부합니다 for “study” in formal style).

Alternative ways to express “Every day I study for 2 hours” include:
• 나는 매일 두 시간씩 공부합니다. (naneun maeil du sigan-ssik gongbu-hamnida) – Adding 는 (neun) after the subject for emphasis, and using -씩 to stress “each” day.
• 매일 두 시간 공부해요. (maeil du sigan gongbuhaeyo) – A less formal, polite ending (해요).
• 매일 두 시간 가량 공부합니다. (maeil du sigan garyang gongbu-hamnida) – Using 가량 (garyang) meaning “approximately” if you wish to indicate a rough duration.
