Korean (Spoken Korean as used in and around Seoul), Example 30
아주머니가 시장으로 갔다.
Ajumeoniga sijangeuro gatta.
ajumeoni-ga
madam-NOM
sijang-euro
market-DIR
ga-ss-da
go-PST-DECL
The madam went to the market.
Comment:
GO with locative marking on its goal argument puts an emphasis on the intentions and motivations of the agent, whereas marking with directional -euro would put an emphasis on the direction of motion. (cf. ex. 29)
