    Who took my money?
    Is it 내 돈은 누가 가졌어요? Does it matter if 누가 is at the beginning of the sentence or in the middle?

    • Fay_2703,

      i believe it should be at the beginning of the sentence the sentence should go as following who my wallet took not sure tho

  17. Anthony Chen,

    Hi guys, looking for a study group to join =) my KakaoTalk ID is Anninny. 감사합니다!

  18. Shanita Kitts,

    현우! Help!!
    Regarding Lesson 10, if I was asked if I had a cup, I know that 컵은 없어요 essentially means “I have other things, but I don’t have a cup.” What does 컵이 없어요 mean? These particles, man… They are ruining my self isolation!!

    • Anthony Chen,

      That’s a tough question, I’m wondering if it’s a direct response to the question and doesn’t imply anything else.

    • Christian Rudder,

      가/이 are in response to a topic/subject. If you are starting a new topic don’t use 가/이.

    • Christian Rudder,

      do you have a cup?
      I don’t have a cup. <-- 이 is in response to that first question. 는/은 means a new subject or noun. 이/가 & 를/을(to do something to an object) is in response to that noun 는/은

    • Hanna,

      I’m not sure but I think it has something to do with coffee. Maybe that you dont have coffee or something. I’m sorry if I’m making you more confused or something. It’s just what I think. Please correct me if I’m wrong…
