다는

"다는" is a particle used to quote or express what someone says, thinks, or asserts in Korean.

In a sentence

  • 그가 공부를 열심히 한다는 말은 사실입니다.

    The statement that he studies hard is true.

    '다는' is used here to connect a reported clause to a main clause, indicating that the content of the reported clause ('그가 공부를 열심히 한다') is being stated or described.

  • 나는 그녀가 유명하다는 것을 알게 되었어요.

    I came to know that she is famous.

    '다는' serves here to transform the embedded clause ('그녀가 유명하다') into a noun phrase ('그녀가 유명하다는 것'), which acts as the object of the verb '알게 되다'.

  • 그는 한국 음식이 맛있다는 점에 동의했어요.

    He agreed with the fact that Korean food is delicious.

    '다는' is used to turn the descriptive clause ('한국 음식이 맛있다') into a concept ('한국 음식이 맛있다는 점') that partakes in further discussion or agreement.
