Sentence info.

"그게 무슨 뜻이에요?" breaks down as follows:

• 그게 (geuge) comes from 그 (geu) meaning "that" and the subject marker thing, which in full form is "것이" (geosi); in casual speech, these combine to form "그게."

• 무슨 (museun) means "what" or "which kind of" and is used to modify the following noun.

• 뜻 (tteus) means "meaning" or "definition."

• 이에요 (ieyo) is the polite form of the copula, equivalent to the English "is."

Together, the sentence literally asks, "That thing is what meaning?" which translates as "What does that mean?"

Tips to remember:
• Recognize that subject markers like -이 or its contraction -게 are often used with demonstratives (like 그) referring to the subject (here, "thing").
• 무슨 is a useful adjective to ask about qualities or types of something, so it naturally pairs with nouns like 뜻.
• Polite ending -이에요 is standard when asking questions in a formal or semi-formal context.

Alternate ways to say "What does that mean?":
• 그게 무슨 의미예요? (geuge museun uimiyeyo?) – using 의미 (uimi) which also means "meaning" or "significance."
