How to correctly use this Korean verb? I recently learned the verb "꽂다" which means "To stick, to fix, to arrange,to put in a particular place, etc" the only problem is that, i'm not to sure how to use this verb in the correct context. So i jotted down a few sentences to see if i could possibly get the hang of it! -내 머리가 안에 물을 꽂았어요. (i stuck my head in water) -고영이가 위에 침대를 꽂아요. (the cat is put on the bed.) -난 책이 뒤에 책상 꽂아요. (i'm putting the book behind the desk.)

"꽂다" - 1.stick/put 2. throw violently onto a surface 3. fix (a stare, etc) at. Some of your example sentences are funny sounding. 1. I stuck my head in water: 머리를 물 속에 넣었어요 [담갔아요] 2. The cat is put on the bed: 고양이는 침대 위에 놓았어요 [두었어요] 3. I'm putting the book behind the desk: 책을 책상 뒤에 (꽂아) 둘 거예요. * #2 can't use 꽂다. #1 barely can, and #3 can if it is being place in a row of books. The best place to look up example sentences is the dictionary. Naver dictionary has(http://krdic.naver.com/detail.nhn?docid=6355600): 1. 꽃을 병에 꽂았다: Stuck a flower (stalk) in the vase. 1. 책을 책꽂이에 꽂거라: Stick the book in the row of books on the bookcase. 1. 산 정상에 국기를 꽂았다: Staked the national flag on the mountain's summit. 2. 깡패를 바닥에 힘껏 꽂다: Throw a thug right into the ground. 3. 형은 몇 시간째 신문지에 시선을 꽂고 있다: My brother has had his stare fixed on the newspaper for hours.

You don't generally use possessive's for body parts in Korean. Sometimes you do...
