My son left for Turkey yesterday in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Breakdown of the sentence:
• 내 아들은 어제 터키로 떠났다.
 – 내 (nae) means “my.”
 – 아들 (adeul) means “son.”
 – 은 (eun) is the topic marker attached to “아들” to indicate that he is the topic.
 – 어제 (eoje) means “yesterday.”
 – 터키 (teoki) means “Turkey.”
 – 로 (ro) is a particle indicating direction or destination (“to”).
 – 떠났다 (tteonatda) is the past tense of 떠나다 (tteonada), which means “to leave” or “departed.”

Tips to remember:
• Recognize that Korean topics are marked by 은/는 and that particles like 로 indicate direction.
• Notice the typical word order: subject/topic → time setting → destination → verb.
• Remember that verb endings change with the tense and formality, so 떠났다 indicates a past action in a plain narrative style.
