| Notes | -에게서/한테서 is a particle that has the opposite meaning to -에게/한테 and generally corresponds to 'from' in English. In its basic meaning, -에게서/한테서 marks an animate source when talking about receiving something from a human or an animal. The abbreviated form -에게/한테 with -서 dropped commonly occurs in colloquial speech. This brings on ambiguous situations where -에게서/한테서 and -에게/한테 are used interchangeably in 'to' or 'from' meanings. The ambiguity is usually eliminated by the meaning of the main verb or adjective. |
