Saranghae- meaning breakdown please?

Question

I know saranghae is the casual form of I love you, but could someone please break it down for me? I know sarang = love, but what is hae? Is it I or you or something else? Also, I asked a question before about why in one song it was oppareul instead of just oppa and someone answered that reul is the object particle, which goes at the end of all objects of sentences. If that's so, where is the reul in saranghae? Shouldn't there be one since there's an object? (you) Please and thank you!!

Answer 1

Sarang (사랑) = love (noun), as in "my love for you"

Saranghada (사랑하다) = to love, as in "I love you"

Saranghae (사랑해) = informal/familiar form of the verb saranghada



So saranghae really just means "love", as a verb, with no object or subject: "___ love(s) ____". This kind of omission is quite common with Korean sentences; in context, it would usually be clear that the meaning was "I love you."



To actually explicitly say "I love you," the sentence would be something like "na-neun neo-reul saranghae" (나는 너를 사랑해)... the exact pronouns, particles and verb form could vary depending on the relationship and situation.

Answer 4

Sarang Hae

Answer 5

Firstly let me explain why there is no 를 (reul) in this sentence. Simply this sentence does not contain an object. If you wanted to include the object you, 너 in Korean, you would say 너를 (abb. 널) 사랑해.

Noreul saranghae.



As you rightly say 사랑 (sarang) is a noun and means love. 해 (hae), whose dictionary form is 하다 (hada) means to do. So when you say this sentence you are LITERALLY saying I do love.



Of course pragmatically you are saying I love someone/something. Usually Koreans omit the object in clauses like this because it is usually obvious from context what is being refered to. For instance if you say it to your bf/gf it will be obvious that you mean "I love you."



Hope this helps~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^

Answer 6

Forgive my my Korean is kinda poor but "hae" doesn't really have a meaning on it's own but turns Sarang from a noun to a verb. Mainly because in Korean you don't normally use "I" or "you" when telling someone you love them.
