Perhaps your professor is confused or ….

Some profs don’t appreciate having snobby students telling them they are wrong on a little point which is not important to the discussion in class. Also, many Koreans don’t like being reminded that yet another element of their language was imported from China or even worse, Japan. I have nothing to gain really, by making a point of this to the prof.

But still, thinking a character like 的 is unique to the Korean language??!! I would assume that he knows practically no Chinese or Japanese, and that he heard this hear-say in the first place.

What is it used to do? I’m assuming it must be some supercommon grammatical thing that is taken care of with kana in Japanese (so that the most commonly used Japanese kanji are 日 and 一 if I recall correctly).. can you illuminate the issue further?
