Sentence info.

The sentence is made up of several parts that indicate the subject, topic, object, and the verb in its past continuous form:

1. 당신은 (dangshineun): "당신" means "you" and "은" is the topic marker, setting "you" as the topic of the sentence.

2. 이 책 (ichaek): "이" means "this" and "책" means "book." Together, they form "this book."

3. 에 대해 (e daehae): This phrase means "about." It is used to indicate the subject matter that is being spoken of.

4. 말하고 있었습니까? (malhago isseosseumnikka?):
• 말하고 (malhago) is the connective stem of "말하다" ("to talk") combined with the connective ending "-고," which links to the continuous aspect.
• 있었습니까? (isseosseumnikka?) is the past continuous form of "있다" used to complete the progressive construction, turning the sentence into the equivalent of "were you talking?"

To remember the structure, think of it in layers: first introduce the topic ("you"), then specify the object ("this book" with the "about" phrase "에 대해"), and finally use the correct verb form to indicate the time frame (past continuous in this case).

Alternate ways to say "Were you talking about this book?":

• 이 책에 대해 말하고 계셨어요?
– Romanized: I chaeg-e daehae malhago gyesyeosseoyo?
– This version uses the honorific form "계시다" (gye-shida) for speaking, which is common when showing respect.

• 이 책에 대해 이야기하고 있었어요?
– Romanized: I chaeg-e daehae iyagihago isseosseoyo?
– Here, "이야기하다" (iyagihada, meaning "to converse" or "to talk") is used instead of "말하다," offering a slightly different nuance.
