what this thing is’. do you understand the nuance?

of the word ‘person’.
→ the higher respect form of the verb ‘open’ is ‘여시다’. it looks like an exception, but it’s actually one of
the higher respect form conjugation rules.
the final ‘ㄹ’ disappears when it becomes a higher respect form.
the stem of the higher respect form is 여시. 여시 + 었어요 = 여시었어요 → 여셨어요.
저 남자분께서 언제 레스토랑을 여셨어요?
→ if you want to show even more respect, you can use the higher respect form of the subject particle ‘께서’.
the reason why it is not strange to use ‘께서’ to this person is because you don’t know him very well.
you don’t even know his age. therefore, it is no harm to show some more respect.

■ Study Tip
when you are very close to this person and he or she is not very older than you, it is sometimes too much to
use the higher respect form of the subject particle ‘께서’.
that’s why we didn’t use it here.
but, Koreans sometimes care too much about the age thing especially when they are a part of the members of
a certain social group such a school or a company and want to hear higher respect forms from even one year
younger person. in return, maybe they would buy you lunch. good way to get some free meal.
there is a pros and cons about this culture.

19
A39) English where is the school?

Structure

Korean 학교가 어디 있어요?

meaning of asking about the location. therefore, you can say that ‘어디’ already contains the meaning
that the most basic location-related particle ‘에’ has.

학교가 어디에 있어요?

→ you can add the particle ‘에’ to the interrogative ‘어디’ as you do to location-related words.

학교가 어디 예요?
→ you can also use the predicate ‘이다’, ‘예요’ since ‘어디’ is an interrogative pronoun in Korean
grammar. but, we don’t recommend you to use this at this point, because there are exceptions.

who’s going to take a bus or not.

저는 어디에서 버스(를) 타요?

→ if you add the auxiliary particle ‘는’ to the subject, it would sound like ‘I know where everybody
else takes buses, but how about me? where do I take a bus?’.

like you are asking about the place, space or area where the action of hiding took place.

you’d better use the particle ‘에’ or if you are not so sure, just omit the particle.

but, at least we know it’s the particle that indicates the subject of the sentence.

higher
respect 누구하고 자전거(를) 타고 계세요?
어떤 분하고 자전거(를) 타고 계세요?
→ are you surprised to see ‘어떤 분’? yes, it is a higher respect form of ‘who’, ‘누구’.
yes, you are right. when you consider using higher respect forms, you should consider
the subject’s age or social position and you turn nouns that are directly related to subject such as
subject’s family, house or a meal subject had at lunch and verbs that the subject does into higher
respect forms.
the interrogative ‘who’ is not a subject. you don’t even know the age of this person. that’s why
you are asking. but, if you don’t really know the listener very well either, it sounds polite to use
the higher respect form of ‘who’ for someone you don’t really know even though he or she is
not a subject. but, if it’s against your logical way of thinking, you have to make another exception.
