They have four cars in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Breakdown of “그들은 차가 네 대 있어요.”
• “그들은” (geudeul-eun) means “they,” where “그들” (geudeul) is “they” and “-은” is a topic marker indicating the topic of the sentence.
• “차가” (cha-ga) means “car” with the subject marker “-가.” Although “차” (cha) means “car,” in existential sentences like this, the subject is marked with “-가” to indicate what exists.
• “네 대” (ne dae) means “four (units)”; “네” is the native Korean number for 4 and “대” is the counter used for vehicles or machines.
• “있어요” (isseoyo) comes from “있다,” meaning “to exist” or “to have.” In Korean, possession is expressed using existence rather than a verb equivalent to “have.”

Tips to Remember:
• When talking about the existence of items, use “있다” with the appropriate counter for the object.
• Attach the counter “대” to count vehicles, and remember that native Korean numbers (like “네”) are used with most counters in everyday speech.
• Use topic markers (은/는) for the overall subject (e.g., “그들은”) and subject markers (이/가) to emphasize the thing that exists (e.g., “차가”).

Alternate Ways to Say “They have four cars”:
• “그들은 자동차가 네 대 있어요.”
 Romanized: “Geudeul-eun jadongchaga ne dae isseoyo.”
• “그들은 차를 네 대 가지고 있어요.”
 Romanized: “Geudeul-eun cha-reul ne dae gajigo isseoyo.”
In the second alternative, “가지고 있어요” (gajigo isseoyo) literally means “are possessing,” and “차를” (cha-reul) uses the object marker “-를” instead of “-가.”
