You have to finish it by Friday in Korean 🇰🇷

Sentence info.

Breakdown of the sentence:
• 금요일 (geumyoil) – “Friday.” This is the noun for the day of the week.
• 에 (e) – A location or time marker. Here it indicates the time “on Friday.”
• 끝내야합니다 (kkeut-nae-ya-ham-ni-da) – Derived from the verb 끝내다 (kkeut-naeda) meaning “to finish.”
  ○ The verb stem is 끝내.
  ○ The ending –야 (ya) comes from the construction “-아/어/여야 하다” which expresses necessity (“have to”).
  ○ 합니다 (ham-ni-da) is the formal polite form of 하다 (“to do”), completing the expression of obligation.

Tips to remember:
• Recognize that Korean often omits the subject; the focus here is on the action (“finish”) and the time (“Friday”).
• Remember that the particle 에 marks the time of an event (“on Friday”), and when expressing deadlines, you can also use the particle 까지 (“by”).
• To form the “must do” construction, take the verb stem and add -아/어/여야 하다, then conjugate the final verb 하다 into a polite form.

Alternate ways to say “You have to finish it by Friday”:
• 금요일까지 끝내야 합니다. (Geumyoil-kkaji kkeut-nae-ya ham-ni-da.)
  ○ “까지” (kkaji) implies “by” a certain time.
• 금요일 안에 끝내야 합니다. (Geumyoil an-e kkeut-nae-ya ham-ni-da.)
  ○ “안에” (an-e) means “within,” also indicating a deadline.
