He promised us in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

The sentence “그는 우리에게 약속했다” breaks down as follows:

• “그는” (Geu-neun) – “He”: “그” means “he” and the topic marker “는” indicates that he is the subject of the sentence.
• “우리에게” (U-ri-e-ge) – “to us”: “우리” means “us” or “we,” and “에게” is a particle that marks the indirect object, indicating the direction of the promise.
• “약속했다” (Yak-sok-haet-da) – “promised”: This is the past tense form of “약속하다” (to promise).

Tips to remember the formation:
• Korean sentences typically follow a Subject + (Indirect) Object + Verb order, so you place “그는” at the front, then the indirect object “우리에게,” followed by the verb “약속했다.”
• Note that particles such as “는” and “에게” reveal each word’s role, even though the order can remain flexible in Korean.

Alternate ways to say “He promised us”:
• “그는 우리한테 약속했다” (Geu-neun u-ri-han-te yak-sok-haet-da) – Using “한테” instead of “에게” for a more casual tone.
• “그는 우리에게 약속을 했다” (Geu-neun u-ri-e-ge yak-sok-eul hae-tda) – Including the object marker “을” after “약속” before “했다.”

These structures maintain the same meaning while offering slight variations in nuance and formality.
