오늘새벽에도착했어요...도미닉선생님은요?

I have a Korean friend that I'm practicing with and I couldn't figure out what this is saying.

This is what I came up with but I'm not sure?

What, morning, did...Mr. Dominic?

so...."What did you do this morning....Mr Dominic?"

감사합니다!!

It means: I arrived at dawn this morning. How about you Dominic?

오늘 새벽에 도착했어요...도미닉 선생님은요?

오늘= Today

새벽에= at dawn

도착했어= arrived (present tense being 도착하다)

은요?= If you use someones name or a personal pronoun before 은 or 는요 with a question in this way it's like asking the question how about you.

Example:

진호: 민지씨 어떻게 지내세요?
Jinho: Hey Minji how have you been?

민지: 잘 지내세요. 진호씨는요?
Minji: I'm doing well. And you?

My girlfriend used to write me text messages like thin all the time where there was no spacing between the words. It was kinda frustrating but by now I've kinda gotten used to it. Maybe you should ask your friend to put spaces between each word so it would be easier for you to distinguish and you could use a dictionary like Naver more easily.

Hope this helps :)

LOL are you sure she didn't mean 오늘 새벽에도 착했어요 (I was kind even late last night).

Just kidding. The spacing threw me off too ;)
