Did you know?
- While 우리 means 'we' in this context, it is also the common Korean word for a 'cage' or 'pen' used for animals.
- While English uses 'us' to denote a group of people, the Korean word 우리 is often used by Koreans to describe things that belong to them personally, such as 'our mother' or 'our house'.
- The Korean title 지금 우리 학교는 is grammatically an incomplete sentence, functioning more like 'Now, our school is…' because it ends with the topic marker 는 instead of a verb.
