शब्दावली

# Grammar: -(아/어)서 — Expressing Cause and Sequence

-(아/어)서 connects two clauses to show cause/reason or sequential action. It is essential for explaining problems abroad.

For cause: "because/so"

For sequence: "and then"

신고를 하고 나서 보험 회사에 전화했어요. (I filed a report and then called the insurance company.)

Important: -(아/어)서 cannot be used with past tense endings on the first clause. Say 아파서 갔어요, NOT 아팠서 갔어요. The tense is carried only in the final verb.

~~여권이 도난당해서 대사관에 신고했어요.~~
여권을 도난당해서 대사관에 신고했어요.
도난당하다 takes the object marker here, so it's 여권을, not 여권이. You 'have your passport stolen'.
~~여권을 분실했어서 대사관에 갔어요.~~
여권을 분실해서 대사관에 갔어요.
-(아/어)서 can't carry past tense on the first clause. Drop 었: 분실해서, not 분실했어서. Only the final verb shows tense.
~~응급실에 통역사를 만났어요.~~
응급실에서 통역사를 만났어요.
An action happening at a place uses 에서, not 에. 에 marks a destination/location of existence, 에서 marks where you do something.
~~경찰에게 도움을 요청하고 싶어.~~
경찰에게 도움을 요청하고 싶어요.
Don't mix speech levels. In polite speech keep the 요: 싶어요, not the casual 싶어.
~~보험 덕분에 치료비가 환불했어요.~~
보험 덕분에 치료비가 환불됐어요.
The cost gets refunded, so use 되다: 환불됐어요. 환불했어요 (하다) would mean the cost did the refunding.
