When to use

Inform the hotel staff if you turn on the faucet in your room and no hot water comes out.

How it works

This sentence uses the polite informal speech level (-어요). '뜨거운 물' (hot water) is the subject, marked by '이', and '안 나와요' (doesn't come out) is the predicate.

  • 뜨거운 물이: 'Hot water' (뜨거운 물) followed by the subject particle '이'. '뜨거운' is the descriptive form of '뜨겁다' (to be hot), modifying '물' (water).
  • 안 나와요: 'Doesn't come out'. '안' is a short-form negation meaning 'not', placed before the verb '나와요' (comes out).

Pronunciation

The initial 'ㄸ' (tt) in '뜨거운' is a tense consonant, pronounced with more tension in the vocal cords than a regular 'ㄷ'. For '안 나와요', the 'ㄴ' of '안' links to the 'ㅏ' of '나와요', resulting in the pronunciation [안나와요].

Omitted Context

While '뜨거운 물이' (hot water) is explicitly stated as the subject, the source of the water (e.g., 'from the shower' or 'from the faucet') is implied and omitted, as it's clear from the context of a hotel room.

Notes

Report a lack of hot water in your room to the hotel staff.
