의미
Languages mark the link between an action and the person who receives something or has something done for them. This lets us tell that person apart from the thing given, sent, or made. The link may use word order, a separate word, or an ending; some languages have no special recipient ending. Recipient and beneficiary describes the person's role, while How the recipient is marked looks at how the sentence shows that role.
알아보는 방법
Find the receiver or the person helped, then look at the position, word, or ending that links them to the action.

한국어
Recipient links use 에게/한테/께 and sometimes benefactive auxiliary patterns.
