This gift is for you in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Breakdown of the Sentence:
• “이” means “this.”
• “선물” means “gift.”
• “은” is a topic marker attached to “선물,” emphasizing “this gift” as the subject of the sentence.
• “당신” means “you.”
• “을” is an object marker attached to “당신.” When combined with “위한,” it creates the phrase “당신을 위한,” meaning “for you.”
• “것” means “thing.” Here it functions as a noun referring to “gift.”
• “입니다” is the formal polite form of “이다,” meaning “is.”
• Romanized, the whole sentence is: “I seonmureun dangsineul wihan geosimnida.”

Tips to Remember:
• Recognize that adjectives in Korean can be formed by modifying verbs with a modifier form. In this case, “위한” comes from “위하다” (to be for or to benefit) and is used to modify “것.”
• Note the role of topic (은/는) and object (을/를) markers to structure the sentence. The subject “이 선물” is marked with 은, while “당신” receives the 을 marker because it’s the target indicated by “위한.”
• Learn phrases by breaking them into smaller units. Remember “당신을 위한” as a fixed phrase meaning “for you.”
