Easy Korean - Level 9, Unit 17: Workbook

Practice 1: Add the Particle

Replace the bolded particle with -마저 to express "even the last remaining."

1. 하나 남은 사과를 먹었어요. (I ate the one remaining apple.) -> __________________
2. 너가 떠나면 어떡해. (What do I do if you leave?) -> __________________
3. 건강이 안 좋아졌어요. (My health got bad too.) -> __________________

Practice 2: Nuance Check (조차 vs 마저)

Both mean "even," but which one fits the specific nuance described?

1. "I can't even drink water right now." (Water is the most basic thing.) ( 물조차 / 물마저 )

2. "Everyone left me. Are you leaving me, too? Even you?" (You are the last one left.) ( 너조차 / 너마저 )

Practice 3: Translate to Korean

Translate using -마저.

1. Even this is difficult. (this: 이것 / difficult: 어렵다) -> ____________________________________ 어려워요.

2. Even the weather is cold. (weather: 날씨 / cold: 춥다) -> ____________________________________ 추워요.
