Particle
을 • (-eul)
- particle indicating the direct object of a verb
Usage notes
- Like other Korean particles, 을 (eul) is a postposition. It marks the preceding noun as the direct object of the following verb.
- 을 (-eul) only comes after a word ending in a consonant. If the modified word ends in a vowel, 를 (-reul) is used instead:
- 을 (-eul) is optional if it can be inferred that the noun is the direct object (as opposed to the subject).
- If the noun is the main topic of the sentence and it can be inferred that the noun is the direct object (as opposed to the subject), 은 (-eun) may be used instead, though in many cases 은 (-eun) might be interpreted as a contrast.
