Korean verb "it-ta" is equivalent to both the Japanese verbs "iru" and "aru". Korean subsidiary verb "o it-ta" is equivalent to the Japanese declinable compound word "te-iru". Accordingly, there is no Korean equivalent to the Japanese declinable compound word "te-aru".
The students in middle and higher-level classes learn various expressions including "te-aru", and those are not explained in detail in textbooks.
"te-aru" has been analyzed based on its "meaning". It has been also classified based on its verbal meaning, which makes it significantly difficult for the students to understand it.
This paper examines "te-aru" in Japanese, which cannot be literally translated into Korean, by means of the novels translated from Japanese to Korean. The analysis is from the perspective of nominative, accusative and agent, so that it can be helpful for the students in learning the Korean grammer as well as the teachers in teaching the language.
The results show some tendency; the combination "nominative + te-aru" and "accusative + te-aru" in Japanese (no agent) corresponds to "passive + o it-ta" in Korean. Also "accusative + te-aru" in Japanese (no agent) corresponds to "transitive verb + o tu-ta/not-ta" in Korean. "o tu-ta/not-ta" is equivalent to "te-oku" in Japanese.
