Explicação no seu nível:

This phrase means to give an answer to a question. You use it when someone asks you something and you speak back.
It is a standard collocation used to describe the act of responding to an inquiry. It is commonly used in both formal and informal settings to indicate that a question has been addressed.
This phrase is a fundamental component of Korean discourse. It functions as a bridge between an inquiry and a resolution, requiring the use of the particle '에' to correctly identify the target of the response.
In professional and academic environments, this phrase is essential for demonstrating clarity and responsiveness. It is often substituted with '답변하다' in written correspondence to maintain a higher register of formality.
The collocation '질문에 답하다' serves as a syntactic anchor in Korean communication. Its usage is governed by the necessity of the dative particle '에', which establishes the directional relationship between the respondent and the inquiry, reflecting the language's agglutinative nature.
From a cognitive linguistic perspective, this phrase exemplifies the mapping of 'question' as a target space and 'answer' as the movement toward that target. The selection between '답하다', '대답하다', and '응답하다' allows for nuanced control over the pragmatic force of the communicative act, essential for near-native fluency.
