Meaning
"Who is your"는 영어에서 누군가의 소유 관계나 연결된 대상을 물을 때 사용하는 표현입니다. 이 표현은 주로 누군가의 특정한 사람을 묻는 질문의 시작 부분으로 사용됩니다.
예를 들어, "Who is your favorite singer?"라는 질문은 "당신이 가장 좋아하는 가수는 누구인가요?"라는 뜻입니다. 이때 "favorite singer" 대신 다른 명사를 사용하여 다양한 질문을 할 수 있습니다.
"Who is your" 뒤에 오는 명사는 질문의 초점을 결정합니다. 예를 들어:
- "Who is your teacher?" - 당신의 선생님은 누구인가요?
- "Who is your best friend?" - 당신의 가장 친한 친구는 누구인가요?
- "Who is your hero?" - 당신의 영웅은 누구인가요?
이처럼 "Who is your"는 상대방의 취향이나 관계에 대해 구체적으로 묻고자 할 때 유용한 표현입니다.
