They need them now in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

그분들은 (geu-bundeul-eun)
• 그 (geu) means “that.”
• 분 (bun) is an honorific term for “person.”
• 들 (deul) is the plural marker, making it “those people” or “they.”
• 은 (eun) is the topic marker attached to the noun.

지금 (jigeum)
• Means “now.”

그게 (geu-ge)
• 그 (geu) again means “that.”
• 게 is a contraction of “것이” (geot-i), where “것” means “thing” and “이” is the subject marker.
• Together, “그게” refers to “that thing” as the subject of the sentence.

필요해요 (pil-yo-hae-yo)
• From the adjective 필요하다 (pil-yo-ha-da) meaning “to be necessary” or “to need.”
• 해요 (hae-yo) is the polite present form.
• Thus, “필요해요” translates as “is needed” or “needs.”

The full sentence “그분들은 지금 그게 필요해요.” translates literally as “As for those people, that thing is needed now.”
A smoother English translation is “They need that right now.”

Tips to remember:
• Notice the honorific noun “분” combined with the plural marker “들”; this shows respect for the people being referred to.
• The contraction from “것이” to “게” is commonly used in everyday Korean. Recognizing these contractions helps in both conversation and comprehension.
• The topic marker “은” following a plural subject emphasizes who is performing the action.

Alternate ways to say “They need them now”:
• 그분들은 지금 그것들이 필요해요.
 – Here, “그것들이” (geu-geot-deul-i) explicitly makes “them” plural.
• 그분들에게 지금 그게 필요해요.
 – Using “에게” (ege) indicates “to them,” emphasizing the need of those people.
• 그 사람들이 지금 그것을 필요로 해요.
 – “사람들” (saramdeul) instead of “분들” is less formal, and “필요로 해요” is another form for “need.”
