It’s normal that you love your sister in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Breakdown of the sentence "언니를사랑하는것은정상입니다" (Eonnireul saranghaneun geoseun jeongsangimnida):

• 언니 (eonni): Means “older sister.” The word “언니” is used by females to refer to an older sister or a close older female friend.

• 를 (reul): This is an object marker used after “언니” to indicate that she is the object of the verb “사랑하다” (“to love”).

• 사랑하는 (saranghaneun): This is the attributive (modifier) form of the verb “사랑하다.” By replacing the verb’s dictionary ending “-다” with “-는,” it becomes an adjective modifying the noun that follows. Here it turns “to love” into “loving” or “that you love.”

• 것은 (geoseun): “것” means “thing” and by attaching the topic marker “은” it turns the action or idea expressed by the preceding relative clause (“사랑하는”) into the subject/topic of the sentence. Combined, “사랑하는 것” means “the act of loving” or “the fact that you love.”

• 정상입니다 (jeongsangimnida): Means “is normal.” It is the polite, formal form, ending with “-입니다.”

Tips to remember:
• When describing a noun with a verb, use the –는 form (e.g., “사랑하는”) to turn the verb into an adjective.
• Use “것” to nominalize a verb phrase if you need to treat it as a subject or topic.
• Remember that markers like 를 (object) and 은 (topic) follow the noun they modify.
