아무-도 [Intermediate Grammar]

아무-도

'아무' indicates 'randomly choosing one among many other things' or 'not limiting the range of the object related to the following noun.' If a noun modified by '아무' adds to a postposition '도', it becomes a negative sentence in full denial and makes the latter sentence a negative one. The auxiliary '도' can be used before other postpositions. If a noun is a person, it is used as a form of 'of 무도', '아무에게도', '아무한테서도' without the noun.

Example: 

1. 그 사실은 아무도 모릅니다. 

    Nobody knows about the truth.

2. 아무 도움도 주지 못해서 미안할 뿐입니다. 

    I just feel sorry not to give any help.

3. 아무한테도 연락하지 않았어요.
     I didn't contact anyone.

4. 어제부터 아무 것도 먹지 않았어요.

    Haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

5. 방학 때 아직 아무 계획도 없어요.

    I don't have any plans yet for the vacation.

6. 제가 할 테니까 아무 준비도 하지 마세요.

    I'll do it, so don't prepare anything.
