GRAMMAR

Intimate Politeness Level - 반말


The intimate politeness level (반말 banmal) is widely used in everyday Korean, but mostly between close friends who are in the same age group or by an older person talking to a younger person. Younger people also sometimes use the intimate politeness level when talking to older people, typically family members or people who have agreed to be on closer terms with each other. The intimate politeness level is a conjugation used at the end of verbs to convey the amount of politeness the speaker holds towards the listener.

In Today's Dialogue 너 어디 가? "Where are you going?/Are you going somewhere?"

너 어디 가? (neo eodi ga?) 나 지금 친구 집에 가. (na jigeum chingu jibe ga) 내 친구 마유미 기억해? (nae chingu mayumi gieokhae?) 니 친구 기억해! (ni chingu gieokhae!) 근데 너 밥은 먹었어? (geunde neo babeun meogeosseo?)

Verb stem + -아/-어/-여

☞ Construction #1: Verb stem + -아☜

We use this ending with verbs that have a either the vowel ㅗ (o), orㅏ (a) in the verb stem's final syllable.

♣ Examples: ♣

Construction Korean (Romanization) "English"

보(다) + -아 봐 (bwa) "I see. I watch."

사(다) + -아 ▶ 사 + 아 사 (sa) "I buy."

잡(다) + -아 잡아 (jaba) "I catch. I grab."


☞ Construction #2: Verb stem + -어☜

We use this ending with verbs that have any vowel other than the vowels ㅗ (o), orㅏ (a) in the verb stem's final syllable.

♣ Examples: ♣


먹(다) + -어 먹어 (meogeo) "I eat."

싫(다) + -어 싫어 (sireo) "I hate."

☞ Construction #3: Verb stem + -여☜

We use this ending with 하다 (hada) verbs.

♣ Examples: ♣


공부하(다) + -여 공부해 (gongbuhae) "I study."

일하(다) + -여 일해 (ilhae) "I work."

☞ Note: ☜

There are a number of different contractions and/or deletions for conjugations that have consecutive vowels. Please refer to the Verb Conjugation Chart for a full chart and explanation.

http://www.koreanclass101.com/learningcenter/reference/conjugation_list

Possessive Pronouns


나 지금 친구 집에 가. "I'm going to my friend's house."

We use possessive pronouns to attribute ownership of an object to someone. Like any other pronoun, these replace the nouns. We use different possessive pronouns according to the speaker's relationship with the listener. Humbling pronouns, neutral pronouns, and intimate pronouns, all indicate the relationship between the listener and the speaker.

☞ Construction: Possessive Pronouns ☜

Pronoun + Possessive Particle = Possessive Pronoun (Contraction)

Pronoun + Possessive Particle

Possessive Pronoun

Romanization "English"

나의 내 nae "my"

너의 니 ni "your"

저의 제 je "my" (humbling)

Past Tense (review) 근데 너 밥은 먹었어? "By the way, did you eat?"

았/었/였 (as/eos/yeos) is a verbal infix, which is used to convey the past tense. We use 았 for verbs that have ㅏ or ㅗ as the last vowel in the verb stem. We use 었 for verbs that do not have ㅏ or ㅗ as the last vowel in the verb stem. We use 였 for 하다 (hada) verbs.

Many times, there are deletions and contractions with consecutive vowels. If a verb stem ends in a consonant, there are no deletions or contractions. These contraction and deletion rules follow the 아/어/여 conjugation. Please refer to the grammar bank entry on "아/어/여


conjugation" to view the rules for contraction and deletion.

☞ Construction ☜

(Contraction and Deletion Rules follow the same rules as the 아/어/여 conjugation. Please refer to the entry on "아/어/여 conjugation" for contraction and deletion rules.)

2. (ㄴ) 먹다 "to eat" = [먹] + [었] + [어요] = 먹었어요. Simple Past Tense (Standard Politeness Level)

♣ Example: ♣

In Today's Dialogue

아저씨: ... 근데 너 밥은 먹었어? Man: "...by the way, did you eat?"

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Korean Titles

Koreans don't usually use second person pronouns, unless it is between close friends, because they are too direct in many situations. Otherwise, they use titles or titles with names much more commonly in Korea. For example:

1. 김 선생님, 어디 가세요? "Kim Teacher, where are you going?

2. 박 과장님께서 아까 말씀하신... "What Section Chief Park said before..."

3. 사장님은 몇 시에 퇴근하세요? "Boss, what time are you going home?"

GRAMMAR

Honorific Infix (으) 시

This makes a standard verb (descriptive or action) 존댓말, honorific speech. We don't necessarily only use it towards people who are in the conversation, but we also use it widely in order to lift up (honor) the topic of the sentence, a person, or a group of people.

Construction: 아프셔? "Is she sick?"

To make a verb honorific, take the verb stem, and add -시 or -(으)시. This is now the honorific form of the verb in the dictionary form.

(으)시 is used with verb stems ending in consonants 괜찮다 (gwenchanta) "to be ok, to be alright" 괜찮 - verb stem 괜찮 + 으시 - verb stem + honorific infix


괜찮으시 + conjugation 괜찮으시 + 어요(verb stem + standard politeness level conjugation) 괜찮으셔요.

☞ Remember ☜

The actual politeness level used in the speech is for the person you are talking with. A sentence can have either a polite ending or the honorific infix, or can also include both.

In Today's Dialogue

아프다 (apeuda) "to be sick" 아프시다 (apeusida) "to be sick" (honorific) 아저씨: 왜? 아프셔? Man: What? Is she sick?

아저씨: 왜? 어디가 아프셔? Man: What? What's wrong?

괜찮다 (gwaenchanta) "to be okay" 괜찮으시다 (gwaenchanta) "to be okay" (honorific) 아저씨: 어머니는 괜찮으셔? Man: Is your mother all right?

♣ More Examples: ♣

Korean Romanization "English"

가다 gada "to go"

가시다 gasida "to go" (honorific)

가요 gayo "Please go."

가세요 gaseyo "Please go." (honorific)


보다 boda "to see"

보시다 bosida "to see" (honorific)

봐요 bwayo "Please look."

보세요 boseyo "Please look." (honorific)

In both of the examples above, 가세요 and 보세요 are showing politeness (standard politeness level) and honorific speech at the same time.

Korean Romanization Construction

오다 oda "to come"

오십니다 osimnida"to come" + honorific infix + formal politeness level

오셔요 osyeoyo"to come" + honorific infix + standard politeness level

오셔 osyeo"to come" + honorific infix + intimate politeness level

Irregular 으 Verbs: 아프다 Conjugation

We conjugate verbs that end with the vowel -으 differently than other verbs when the conjugation starts with a vowel. Essentially, we replace 'ㅡ' with the vowel that starts the conjugation. When the conjugation starts with a consonant, we conjugate the verb as normal. The conjugation must start with a vowel. In addition, the verb must end with the '으' vowel, and not with a consonant for this irregular conjugation to take place. For example, we conjugate the verb 늦다 (neutda), "to be late" in English, as normal.

Additionally, there is an irregular conjugation when the verb that is being conjugated has two or more syllables, and the vowel in the syllable immediately preceding the '으' syllable is either '아' or '오.' Thus, the preceding syllable affects the conjugation. Instead of determining


which conjugation to use according to 으 (which would be typically be a 어 conjugation), the verb is conjugated as if '아' or '오' was the determining vowel (which would be typically be a 아 conjugation).

☞ Examples:☜

1. 쓰다 (sseuda) + 아/어/여 conjugation - "to write" + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation A. 쓰 (sseu) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation B. ㅆ + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem (with the vowel 으 removed) + 어 (this conjugation is used because there is no 아 or 오 vowel to affect the conjugation) C. 써 (sseo) - "to write" (Intimate Politeness Level simple present tense conjugation)

2. 끄다 (kkeuda) + 아/어/여 conjugation - "to turn off" + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation A. 끄 (kkeu) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation B. ㄲ + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem (with the vowel 으 removed) + 어 (this conjugation is used because there is no 아 or 오 vowel to affect the conjugation) C. 꺼 (kkeo) "to turn off" (Intimate Politeness Level simple present tense conjugation)

3. 바쁘다 (bappeuda) + 아/어/여 conjugation - "to be busy" + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation A. 바쁘 (bappeu) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation B. 바ㅃ (bapp) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem (with the vowel 으 removed) + 아 (this conjugation is used because 아 influences the conjugation) C. 바빠 (bappa) - "to be busy" (Intimate Politeness Level simple present tense conjugation)

In Today's Dialogue

혜진: 응... 엄마는 아퍼. 혜진: 배가 아퍼.


Conjugation 아프(다) + 아/어/여 ▶ 아파

In both of the sentences above, 혜진(hyejin) said "아퍼" instead of "아파." This is very common among younger people and especially children.

GRAMMAR

Affirmative Imperative

We use the affirmative imperative to give a command, request, or an order directly to someone.

Construction

The conjugation is identical to the intimate politeness level (아/어/여) and standard politeness level (아/어/여요). These stay in their respective politeness levels.

Intimate Politeness Level 공부하다 (gongbuhada) "to study" 공부하 + (아/어/여) = 공부해 "study" (imperative - intimate politeness level)

Standard Politeness Level 자다 (jada) "to sleep" 자 + (아/어/여요) = 자요 "sleep" (imperative - standard politeness level)

Note: Many times the standard politeness imperative uses the honorific infix 시 (si) because it's asking someone or telling someone to do something. This is to be polite.


Formal Politeness Level The formal politeness level uses the conjugation: 십시오 (sipsio) Verb Stem + (으)십시오

오다 (oda) "to come" 오 + (으)십시오 = 오십시오 "come" (imperative - formal politeness level)

We do not use the formal politeness imperative often in casual spoken Korean, or even in formal situations. We generally reserve it for people of extreme importance (i.e. Kings, Queens, Royalty, Presidents, High-ranking military officials, etc.).

Note: Often, we can find the written form (으)시오 on signs on the street, giving warning or directions to the public. The spoken version of this can be found in many historical Korean dramas as well, however, its use is only relegated to written Korean in modern Korean.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Korean Business Greeting: 어서오십시오

어서오십시오 (eoseoosipsio) is a phrase used in business establishments. Koreans use it to welcome customers when they enter a store, restaurant, or an office. Typically, customers don't respond to greeting. Saying 안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo, or "hello" in English) can even be too polite. To acknowledge the person that has greeted the customer, most people will simply nod their head. However, it is not uncommon to ignore this greeting as well.

GRAMMAR

Express Ability, Capability, or Possibility: ㄹ/을 수

-ㄹ/을 수있다 (-l/eul su itta) is a grammatical structure we use to express ability, capability, or possibility (i.e., whether you can or can't speak English, or you can or can't use a computer, etc.). This structure adds on to the end of both descriptive and action verbs to express the possibility or capability of that verb. We can translate it as "can," or "able to." The word 수(su) in this structure means "a way," "a method," or "a possibility," thus making the entire structure express possibility or ability.

We can conjugate the last verb 있다 (itta) to express politeness level, tense, and mood. Traditionally, the verb can inflect negation as well, but in this grammatical structure the negated form would come from the verb opposite the verb 있다 (itta), which is 없다 (eopta). We can translate the construction -ㄹ/을 수 없다 (-l/eul su eopda) as "cannot" or "not able to." However, when using the construction ㄹ/을 수 없다 (l/eul su eopda), it carries the notion that the speaker (or subject of the sentence) was unable to do something because they did not


have the capacity to perform that activity. Using this structure implies that the subject does not possess the ability to perform that action. For example, 먹을 수 없어, which means "I can't eat," in English, implies "I don't have the ability to eat." When expressing "can't" because of factors other than inability, we use the impossibility adverb 못 (mot) instead.

Construction: Verb Stem + -ㄹ/을 수 있다/없다.

Verbs Ending with Vowels We use ㄹ/수 있다, ㄹ/ 수 없다 for verbs ending with vowels. Verb Stem + -ㄹ/을 수 있다/없다.

-ㄹ 수 있다/없다 attaches to verbs stems that end in a vowel.

하다 (hada) "to do" 하 - verb stem 하 + ㄹ 수 있다 = verb stem + ㄹ 수 있다 할 수 있다 "to be able to do" 할 수 없다 "to not be able to do"

Verbs Ending with Consonants We use -을 수 있다/없다 with verb stems ending in consonants.

먹다 (meokda) "to eat" 먹 - verb stem 먹 + 을 수 없다 = verb stem + 을 수 없다 먹을 수 없다 "to not be able to eat" 먹을 수 있다 "to be able to eat"

Formal Politeness Level - 습니다/습니까?

The Formal Declarative Sentence Ending -ㅂ/습니다 (m/seumnida)- You can attach this to any verb to form a present tense declarative sentence. This conjugation is in the formal politeness level.

The Formal Interrogative Sentence Ending -ㅂ/습니까 (m/seumnikka)- This can be attached to any verb to form a present tense question with that verb. This conjugation is in the formal politeness level and we use it for very formal situations.

Construction

For both declarative and interrogative statements, add the constructions onto the verb stems.

Verb Stems Ending in Vowels We use -ㅂ니다/-ㅂ니까 (-mnida/-mnikka) for verb stems ending in vowels: Verb Stem + -ㅂ니다/-ㅂ니까

We add ㅂ onto the verb stem to form a new syllabic block. 니다/니까 (nida/nikka) comes after the new syllabic block.

Verb stem + ㅂ니다/-ㅂ니까?

이다 (ida) "to be" (copula)


이 - verb stem 이 + ㅂ 니다 = 입니다 "is" (formal declarative) 이 + 습니까 = 입니까? "is?" (formal interrogative)

오다 (oda) "to come" 오 - verb stem 오 + ㅂ 니다 = 옵니다 "come" (formal declarative) 오 + ㅂ 니까 = 옵니까? "come?" (formal interrogativel)

공부하다 (gongbuhada) "to study" 공부하 - verb stem 공부하 + ㅂ 니다 = 공부합니다 "study" (formal declarative) 공부하 + ㅂ 니까 = 공부합니까? "study?" (formal interrogative)

Verbs Ending in Consonants We use 습니다/-습니까 (-seumnida/-seumnikka) for verb stems ending in consonants: Verb Stem + -습니다/-습니까

앉다 (antda) "to sit" 앉 - verb stem 앉 + 습니다 = 앉습니다 "sit" (formal declarative) 앉 + 습니까 = 앉습니까? "sit?" (formal interrogative)

잡다 (japda) "to catch" 잡 - verb stem 잡 + 습니다 = 잡습니다 "catch" (formal declarative) 잡 + 습니까 = 잡습니까 "catch" (formal interrogative)



지금 바쁩니다. jigeum bappeumnida "(I'm) busy now."

지금 바쁩니까? jigeum bappeumnikka? "(Are you) busy now?"

갑니까? gamnikka? "Are you leaving?"

어디에 갑니까? eodi-e gamnikka? "Where are you going?"


회사에 갑니다. hoesa-e gamnida. "I'm going to the company."

사라 씨입니까? sara ssi-imnikka? "Are you Sara?"

네, 사라입니다. ne, sara-imnida. "Yes, I'm Sara."

지금 어디입니까? jigeum eodi-imnikka? "Where are you now?"

지금 화장실입니다. jigeum hwajangsil-imnida. "I'm in the toilet now."

지금 서울입니다. jigeum seoul-imnida. "I'm in Seoul now."

Irregular 으 Verbs

We conjugate verbs that end with the vowel 으 differently than other verbs when the conjugation starts with a vowel. Essentially, we replace 'ㅡ' with the vowel that starts the conjugation. When the conjugation starts with a consonant, we conjugate the verb as normal. The conjugation must start with a vowel. In addition, the verb must end with the '으' vowel, and not with a consonant for this irregular conjugation to take place. For example, we conjugate the verb 늦다 (neutda), which means "to be late" in English, as normal.

Additionally, there is an irregular conjugation when the verb that we are conjugating has two or more syllables, and the vowel in the syllable immediately preceding the '으' syllable is either '아' or '오.' Thus, the preceding syllable affects the conjugation. Instead of determining which conjugation to use according to 으 (which would typically be a 어 conjugation), we conjugate the verb as if '아' or '오' was the determining vowel (which would typically be a 아 conjugation).

Construction

Examples:

1. 쓰다 (sseuda) + 아/어/여 conjugation - "to write" + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation 쓰 (sseu) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation ㅆ + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem (with the vowel 으 removed) + 어 (this


conjugation is used because there is no 아 or 오 vowel to affect the conjugation) 써 (sseo) - "to write" (Intimate Politeness Level simple present tense conjugation)

2. 끄다 (kkeuda) + 아/어/여 conjugation - "to turn off" + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation 끄 (kkeu) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation ㄲ + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem (with the vowel 으 removed) + 어 (this conjugation is used because there is no 아 or 오 vowel to affect the conjugation) 꺼 (kkeo) "to turn off" (Intimate Politeness Level simple present tense conjugation)

3. 바쁘다 (bappeuda) + 아/어/여 conjugation - "to be busy" + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation 바쁘 (bappeu) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem + Intimate Simple Present Tense conjugation 바ㅃ (bapp) + 아/어/여 conjugation - verb stem (with the vowel 으 removed) + 아 (this conjugation is used because 아 influences the conjugation) 바빠 (bappa) - "to be busy" (Intimate Politeness Level simple present tense conjugation)

In This Dialogue

과장님: ...우리 회사는 영어 많이 써요. gwajangnim: ...uri hoesa-neun yeongeo mani sseoyo Section Chief: ...We use a lot of English in this company.


Korean Romanized "English" Verb

CULTURAL INSIGHT


Korean Interviews

Just like any other place, Korea has an interview system to get a job or to enter a university. Most Korean companies have a paper screening, one test, and two interviews. After the paper screening, there is an exam made by the company. If you pass that test, you are eligible to undergo the first interview. Usually, the first interview is with five or six members of the company who ask general questions about the institution and the applicant's motive for applying. If you pass the first interview, there will be a chance to have a second interview. The second interview is with a higher supervisor. If you pass both interviews, they accept you into the institution. Sometimes there are more than two interviews. Some large enterprises have up to three or four interviews, and it differs from year to year.

GRAMMAR

Well -

잘 (jal) is an adverb that means "well," and we use it to describe one's adequate ability or capability of an action verb. When used in conjunction with the impossibility adverb 못 (mot), it describes one's inadequate ability or capability of an action verb.

Construction


1. 잘 is an adverb and comes directly before action verbs as in 잘 + 동사 (well + verb). For example: 잘 먹어. "I eat well."

2. When used in conjunction with 하다 verbs that contain nouns, we place it between the noun and 하다, as in 명사 + 잘 + 동사 (noun + well + verb). For example: 농구 잘 해. "I'm good at basketball."

3. When the negative adverb 못 (mot) is used, the order is: 잘 + 못 + 동사 (well + can't + verb). For example: 농구 잘 못 해. "I'm not good at basketball."

In This Dialogue

사장님: 그럼... 야구를 잘 하세요? Boss: Then...are you good at baseball?

GRAMMAR

Desired Intentions: ㄹ/을래


We use this grammatical structure (-ㄹ/을래) to convey one's desired intention for the future. It does not express one's actual intention, but one's desired intention of the future. One can translate it as "to want to (verb)." We use this construction with action verbs. This grammatical construction is in the intimate politeness level. The standard politeness level adds the politeness particle -요 (ㄹ/을래요). We use this structure in colloquial situations. There is no formal politeness conjugation for this in the same structure, but in formal situations we use -겠습니다 or -(으)렵니다.

Construction

Verb Stem + -ㄹ/을래

We use -ㄹ래 for verb stems ending in vowels. 주다 (juda) "to give" 주 + -ㄹ래 줄래(요) "I want to give (something)."

We use -을래 for verb stems ending in consonants. 잡다 (japda) "to grab" 잡 - verb stem 잡 + -을래 잡을래(요) "I want to grab."

Korean Conjunction하고

We use 하고 (-hago) to link nouns in coordination in a sentence. We can translate it as "with" or "and," both of which we must be imply from context. -하고 (-hago) links the nouns in consecutive order. We can use -하고 (-hago) with as many nouns as desired. However, we must link it to each noun in coordination, with the exception of the final noun. When we use this particle with one noun, we assume there is a non-present noun connected to the linked noun. In this case, it is still translated as "with" or "and."

Construction


Noun + 하고, (Noun + 하고, Noun + 하고, etc.)

In This Dialogue

"I like science and mathematics."

☆ Please note: We affix -하고 (-hago) to all the nouns in coordination with the exception of the last noun.

☞ Remember ☜ -하고 = -이랑/랑 = -과/와

There are several ways to say "and" to link nouns in Korean and the three above are the most common expressions. -하고 and -이랑/랑 are equally colloquial and we use -과/와 in more formal situations or in writing.


"Let's go with me."

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Korean Karaoke

노래방 (noraebang) or "karaoke" is different in Korea than it is in non-Asian countries. Instead of open stages with strangers in bar type, there is private room for individual or group to borrow with the karaoke machine, sofa and other equipments in it. Also there are two kinds: one for purely singing,노래연습장, another with the alcohols where over 18 years could only get in,노래주점.

GRAMMAR

Verb Nominalization: Part 1

We can nominalize most Korean action verbs by taking the verb stem and attaching -기 (gi) at the end. This nominalization is very important to remember since we use it with many other grammatical structures. With the new construction, we can use the verb as a noun. These verbal nouns indicate activity, quality, quantity, extent, or state of being. When nominalized, we translate these nominalized verbs as "(verb)ing, to (verb), (adjective)ness." Another way of nominalizing a verb is to attach -는 것 (neun geot) at the end. Please see the next section for the difference between these two methods of nominalization.

Construction

Verb Stem + -기


가다 (gada) "to go" 가 - verb stem 가 + -기 가기 (gagi) "going" (명사형 - noun). 나 오늘 학교 가기 싫어. (na oneul hagyo gagi siheo.) I don't want to go to school today.

In This Dialogue

아빠: 아빠하고 달리기 할래? appa: appa-hago dalligi hallae? Father: "Do you want to go for a run with daddy?"

딸: 달리기? 싫어요. 나 달리는 것 싫어! ttal: dalligi? sireoyo. na dallineun geot sireo! Daughter: "A run? No, I don't like running."

딸: 응? 나도 달리기 할래! 내 운동화, 운동화, 운동화... ttal: eung? nado dalligi hallae! nae undonghwa, undonghwa, undonghwa... Daughter: "Huh? I want to run, too! My sneakers, sneakers, sneakers..."



먹기 시합 meokgi sihap "Food fighting."

먹기 좋아요. meokgi johayo "It's easy to eat."

미안해. 나 내일 수영하기가 싫어.

mianhae. na naeil suyeonghagi-ga silheo

"Sorry, I don't want to swim tomorrow."

쇼핑하기 힘들어요. syopinghagi himdeuleoyo. "It's tiring to shop."

걷기는 몸에 좋아요.geotgi-neun mom-e johayo.

"Walking is good for your body."


제 취미는 음악 듣기예요.je chwimi-neun eumak deutgi-yeyo.

"My hobby is listening to the music."

☞ Remember ☜ In Korean, we cannot use the infinitive form of verbs as nouns. We must nominalize these verbs with a verb nominalizer such as -기 - (gi).

When we use these nominalized verbs as subjects, they take the subject marking particle -가 (-ga). When we use them as objects, they use the object marking particle -를 (-reul).

Verb Nominalization: Part 2 는

Another, more general way of nominalizing a verb is to use the grammatical construction -는 것 (-neun geot). We use this structure to nominalize action verbs and it indicates "the act of (verb)ing." It stresses the fact or manner of "(verb)ing." It can be translated as "(verb)ing." Often times, 것 (geot) is changed to 거 (geo) to make pronunciation easier and for speech to flow more easily. We use 거 (geo) in spoken Korean. Although the subject marking particle -가 (ga) would naturally follow 거 (geo), we change 거 (geo) to 게 (ge), assuming that the other subject marking particle -이 (i) is following right behind it.

것이 = 거이 = 게

When we use 거 (geo) in conjunction with the object marking particle, -를 (reul), it becomes 거를 (geo-reul). But this is often contracted to 걸 (geol) in speech.

것을 = 거를 = 걸

Construction

가다 (gada) "to go" 가 - verb stem 가 + -는 것 가는 것 (ganeun geot) "going" (명사형 - noun) 학교 가는 것이 싫어! (hagyo ga-neun geos-i sireo!) "I don't like going to school!"

In This Dialogue


딸: 달리기? 싫어요. 나 달리는 것 싫어! ttal: dalligi? sireoyo. na dallineun geo sireo! Daughter: "A run? No, I don't like running."

아빠: 하하하. 달리는 것이 싫어? appa: Hahaha. dallineun geos-i sireo? Father: "Hahaha. You don't like running?"

비 오면 영화를 보는 것이 습관이에요.

bi omyeon yeonghwa-reul boneun goes-i seupgwan-ieyo.

엄마는 남자친구가 밤에 전화하는 것을 안 좋아하세요.

eomma-neun namjachingu-ga bam-e jeonhwahaneun geos-eul an joahaseyo.

"My mom hates my boyfriend calling me at night."

The Difference Between -기 and -는 것


We use both -기 (-gi) and -는 것 (-neun geot) to nominalize verbs in Korean. Although these two ways of nominalizing are interchangeable in most contexts, one suits the situation better than the other one does in some contexts.

☞ Generally☜ We can use 는 것 (-neun geot) for almost every context where -기 (-gi) is used, with the exception of -기 좋다 / 어렵다 / 편리하다 (-gi jota/eoreopda/pyeonrihada/etc.) ("good"/"difficult"/ "convenient for doing something," etc.).

☞ Note: ☜ We can use -는 것 (-neun geot) for the context that can be translated in English as "(someone) doing (something)" or "the fact that (someone) does (something)," whereas -기 (-gi) cannot be translated this way.


1. "This library is good for studying." A. 이 도서관은 공부하기(에) 좋다. (ㅇ) (i doseogwan-eun gongbuhagi(e) jota.) B. 이 도서관은 공부하는 것(에) 좋다. (X) (i doseogwan-eun gongbuhaneun geot(e) jota.)

2. "I saw him running." A. 그가 달리는 것을 봤어요. (ㅇ) (geu-ga dallineun geos-eul bwasseoyo.) B. 그가 달리기를 봤어요. (X) (geu-ga dalligi-reul bwasseoyo.)

3. "I hate him calling me at night." A. 그가 밤에 전화하는 것이 싫어요. (ㅇ) (geu-ga bam-e jeonhwahaneun geos-i sireoyo.) B. 그가 밤에 전화하기 싫어요. (X) (geu-ga bam-e jeonhwahagi sireoyo.)


4. "My father likes running." A. 아빠는 달리기를 좋아해요. (ㅇ) (appa-neun dalligi-reul joahaeyo.) B. 아빠는 달리는 것을 좋아해요. (ㅇ) (appa-neun dallineun geos-eul joahaeyo.) C. 엄마는 아빠가 달리기를 좋아해요. (X) (eomma-neun appa-ga dalligi-reul joahaeyo.) D. 엄마는 아빠가 달리는 것을 좋아해요. (ㅇ) (eomma-neun appa-ga dallineun geos-eul joahaeyo.) = "My mom likes my father running."/ "My mom likes it when my father runs.)"

☞ Note: ☜ Often times, we can use -기 and -는 것in the same context at the same time, just as in the dialogue for this lesson. 기 usually represents an immediate or current action, whereas -는 것 means the general act of doing something.

GRAMMAR


Negative Sentence Ending: 지

지 않다 (-ji anta) is a negative sentence ending we use for negating a sentence. It is considered the standard in which to negate a sentence. People often use it in written Korean (i.e. books, novels, manuals, newspapers) as well as in spoken Korean. This construction can be translated as "no" or "not."

This structure is attached to the end of verbs (both descriptive and action) to negate these verbs. 않다 (anta) can be conjugated to reflect politeness level, tense, mood, etc.

Construction

Verb Stem + 지 않다

마시다 (masida) "to drink" 마시 (masi) - verb stem 마시 + -지 않다 마시지 않다 (masiji anta) "not drink" 저는 술을 마시지 않습니다. (jeo-neun sul-eul masiji anhseumnida) "I don't drink alcohol." (formal politeness level)

In This Dialogue

딸: 아빠... 춥지 않아? ttal: appa...chupji anha? Daughter: "Daddy...aren't you cold?"

아빠: (떨면서) 괜찮아. 춥지 않아! 춥지 않아! 춥지 않아. appa: gwaenchanha. chupji anha! chupji anha! chupji anha. Dad: (trembling with cold) "I'm okay. I'm not cold. I'm not cold! I'm not cold!"

아빠: (혼잣말로) 춥지 않아... 춥지 않아... 춥지 않아... Appa: chupji anha...chupji anha...chupji anha... Dad: (to himself) "I'm not cold... I'm not cold... I'm not cold..."

딸: 아빠... 힘들지 않아?


Ttal: appa...himdeulji anha? Daughter: "Daddy...aren't you tired?"

아빠: 아빠는 힘들지 않아... appa: appa-neun himdeulji anha... Dad: "I'm not tired..."



나는 외롭지 않아! na-neun oeropji anha! "I am not lonely!"

오늘 진짜 덥지 않아? oneul jinjja deopji anha? "Isn't it really hot today?"

저는 학교에 다니지 않습니다.jeo-neun hakgyo-e daniji anhseumnida. "I don't go to school."

그렇지 않아요. geureochi anhayo. "That's not true."

내가 먹지 않았어. nae-ga meokji anhasseo. "I didn't eat it."

어제 그렇게 말하지 않았어?eoje geureoke malhaji anhasseo?

아무도 놀라지 않았어요. amudo nollaji anhasseoyo. "Nobody was surprised."

여기는 아무도 오지 않아요.yeogi-neun amudo oji anhayo. "Nobody comes here."

☞ Remember ☜ Another way a sentence can be negated is by using the negative adverb 안 (an). The difference between the two is that we consider 안 (an) more colloquial, and we consider 지 않다 (ji anta) the standard way to negate a sentence. 지 않다 (ji anta) would be the negation most likely found in novels, textbooks, and newspapers, however, it is still used commonly in colloquial situations. You would most likely hear 안 (an) during a conversation and typically, you would not find it in formal written documents.



1. 가지 않아요. (gaji anhayo.) = 안 가요. (an gayo.)

2. 먹지 않아요. (meokji anhayo.) = 안 먹어요. (an meogeoyo.)

3. 보이지 않아요. (boiji anhayo.) = 안 보여요. (an boyeoyo.)

Irregular ㅂ Verb Conjugations: 'ㅂ' 불규칙 동사

With irregular ㅂ (b) verbs, the verb stem ends with ㅂ. If this is followed by a construction that starts with a vowel, then the ㅂ is changed to 오 (o) or 우 (u) (most of the time ㅂ is changed to 우). The conjugation then affects 오 or 우. When the verb stem ends with the vowel -ㅏ or -ㅗ, it is followed by 오. When verb stem ends with any vowel other than -ㅏ and -ㅗ, it is followed by 우.

Construction

The last consonant of the verb stem (which is ㅂ) is changed to either 우 or 오. The conjugation then affects 오 or 우.

덥다 (deopda) "to be hot" 덥 (deop) - verb stem 더우 (deou) - irregular verb stem 더우 + (verb conjugation that starts with a vowel).

GRAMMAR

The Particle (이)나

(이)나 [-(i)na] is a particle that attaches to nouns. It has a number of usages that can change the translation. In the context of this conversation, we used -(이)나 as demonstrated below in Usage 1.

Usages:


1. It is a particle that separates two nouns to express different options. In this situation, we use it as "or." A. For example: 일요일이나 월요일 "Sunday or Monday"

2. When we use it with only one noun, -(이)나 usually means "just" or "and don't even think about others (or other things)." A. For example: 숙제나 해! "Just do your homework."

3. When we use it in conjunction with time phrases, the time given is an approximation. (이)나, in this situation, is often translated as "about" or "approximately." A. For example: 몇 시간이나 걸렸어요? "About how many hours did it take?"

4. We can use it to express one's missed expectations. In this situation, we use it when it is much more than one expects. When used in this manner it gives off the nuance "much more than I expected." A. For example: 그 영화는 3시간이나 걸렸어요. "That movie lasted three hours, much more than I expected."

Construction

(이)나 [-(i)na] is a particle and we attach it to the end of nouns. For all the following constructions, we use -이나 (-ina) with nouns ending in consonants, and -나 (-na) with words ending in vowels.

1. Usage 1 A. 명사 + -(이)나 + 명사 B. myeongsa + -(i)na + myeongsa C. noun + or + noun D. Example: 매일 한국어나 영어를 공부해요. (maeil hangugeo-na yeongeo-reul gongbuhaeyo.) "I study Korean or English every day."


2. Usage 2 A. 명사 + -(이)나 + 명령형 동사 B. myeongsa + -(i)na + myeongnyeonghyeon dongsa C. noun + or + imperative verb D. Example: 너나 많이 먹어. (neo-na manhi meogeo.) "You go ahead and eat a lot but don't force me to eat it."

3. Usage 3 A. 시간 표현 + -(이)나 B. sigan pyohyeon+ -(i)na C. time phrase + about D. Example: 몇 시간이나 걸렸어요? (myeot sigan-ina geollyeosseoyo?) "About how many hours did it take?"

4. Usage 4 A. 표현 + -(이)나 B. pyohyeon + -(i)na C. phrase + (more than I expected) D. Example: 그 영화는 3시간이나 걸렸어요. (geu yeonghwa-neun se sigan-ina geollyeosseoyo.) "That movie was three hours long(much more than I expected)."

In This Dialogue

수진: (당황하면서) 음... 요가나... 골프를 해요. Sujin: eum... yogana... golpeu-reul haeyo. Sujin: (Embarrassed) "Well...I do yoga or play golf."

민수: 아, 그러면 토요일이나 일요일에 골프장에 같이 가실래요? Minsu: a, geureomyeon toyoil-ina ilyoil-e golpeujang-e gachii gasilraeyo? Minsu: "Oh, then shall we go to the golf course together this Saturday or Sunday?"




커피나 마시러 갈래요? keopi-na masireo galraeyo?

"Do you want to just go drink some coffee (if you don't have any better idea)?"

책이나 잡지를 많이 읽어요.chaek-ina japji-reul manni ilgeoyo.

유럽이나 아프리카에 가고 싶어요.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Korean "Meetings"

미팅 (miting) is the Koreanized English word for "meeting." Koreans use it to refer to a group blind date. Typically, a friend will meet someone, and ask that person to bring friends to an agreed place and time. Both parties will usually bring the same number of people for each party so that everyone can have a matching pair. Also synonym is 소개팅(sogaeting) which people meet by introducting each other's friend. Also for reference, 미팅 is also used to literally mean 'meeting' as well at work or business.

GRAMMAR

Korean Particles: 부터/까지

-부터 (-buteo) is a particle which marks a point in time or a certain location in which a certain action starts. We can translate it as "from," "since," or "starting from."

Conversely, -까지 (kkaji) is a particle which marks a point in time or a certain location in which a certain action ends. We can translate it as "until," or "up to."

Generally speaking, we use these two particles to mark the length or duration of an action.

Construction

Time word / Location word + 까지/부터

1. Time word + 부터 A. 어제 (eoje) "yesterday" B. 어제 + 부터 = 어제부터 (eoje-buteo) "since yesterday" C. Example: 어제부터 피곤했어. (eoje-buteo pigonhaesseo.) "I was tired since yesterday."


2. Location word + 부터 A. 학교 (hakgyo) "school" B. 학교 + 부터 = 학교부터 (hakgyo-buteo) "starting from school" C. Example: 학교부터 집까지 걸었어. (hakgyo-buteo jip-kkaji georeosseo.) "I walked from school to home."

3. Time word + 까지 A. 6시 (yeol si) "six o'clock" B. 6시 + 까지 = 6시까지 (yeol si-kkaji) "until six o'clock" C. Example: 친구랑 6시까지 있을 거야. (chingu-rang yeol si-kkaji isseul geoya.) "I'm going to be with my friend until six o'clock."

4. Location word + 까지 A. 시장 (sijang) "market" B. 시장 + 까지 = 시장까지 (sijang-kkaji) "up to the market" C. Example: 시장까지 데려다 줄게. (sijang-kkaji deryeoda julge.) "I'll drive you up to (until) the market."

여기까지 왔어? yeogi-kkaji wasseo?"You came all the way here?"

☞ Remember ☜ In certain situations -까지 (-kkaji) can also mean "even." In this case, 까지 (kkaji) is linked to nouns.


1. 친구들까지 만났어? (chingu-kkaji mannasseo?) "You even met his friends?"

2. 우유까지 사 왔어? (uyu-kkaji sa wasseo?) "You even bought milk?"

Indefinite Pronoun:

2. You may apply the conjugation to different interrogative words, but there is an exception. KoreanClass101.com suggests you memorize these indefinite nouns as is.

GRAMMAR


The Focus of This Lesson is Korean Possessive Pronouns 수진아. 니 얼굴에 뭐 묻었어. “Sujin, you have something on your face.”

We use possessive pronouns to attribute ownership of an object to someone. Like any other pronoun, these replace the nouns. We use different possessive pronouns according to the speaker's relationship with the listener. Humbling pronouns, neutral pronouns, and intimate pronouns, all indicate the relationship between the listener and the speaker.

Construction

In reality, possessive pronouns are a contraction of pronouns and the possessive particle (의).

1. 제 = 저의 (jeo-ui) - 저 + 의: first person humbling pronoun + possessive particle We use - 제 (je) to humble oneself in the presence of someone the speaker respects.

2. 내 = 나의 (na-ui) - 나 + 의: informal first person pronoun + possessive particle We use - 내 (nae) in informal contexts where the speaker feels that 제 (je) is too polite and inappropriate for the relationship with the listener. We use it in informal contexts, and when the speaker does not feel the need to show the highest respect to the listener.

3. 니 = 너의 (neo-ui) - 너 + 의: informal second person pronoun + possessive particle We use - 니 (ni) in informal contexts when the speaker feels very comfortable with the listener, and the power relationship is at least equal. We commonly use it when the speaker has the upper hand in the relationship.

4. 저희 = 저희 + 의 - 저희 (의): humbling first person plural noun + (possessive particle) We actually drop the possessive particle for this possessive pronoun (as we do in many cases.) We use this possessive particle in formal situations, for example, when the speaker does not know the listener well or when the listener holds much of the power in the relationship.


5. 우리 = 우리 + 의 - 우리 (의): intimate first person plural pronoun + (possessive particle) We actually drop the possessive particle for this possessive pronoun (as we do in many cases.) We use this possessive particle in informal situations, when the speaker feels that 저희 (jeohui) is too polite.

In This Dialogue

1. 수진: 어머, 어머... 내 거울... sujin: eomeo, eomeo... nae geoul... Sujin: "Oh my, oh my...my mirror."

2. 보라: 수진아. 니 얼굴에 뭐 묻었어. Bora: sujina. ni eolgul-e mwo mudeosseo. Bora: "Sujin, you have something on your face."

3. 보라: 여기! 내 거울. Bora: yeogi! nae geoul. Bora: "Here! My mirror."

More Examples

1. 제 친구가 호주에 살아요. je chingu-ga hoju-e sarayo. "My friend lives in Australia."

2. 이게 내 차야. ige nae cha-ya. "This is my car."

3. 니 연필 줘. ni yeonpil jwo. "Give me your pencil."


4. 우리 집은 넓어. uri jib-eun neolbeo. "My home is big." (neutral/intimate)

5. 저희 집은 좁아요. jeohui jib-eun jobayo. "My home is small." (polite)

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Addressing People in Korean

We only use second-person pronouns ("you") with those on familiar terms. Rather than saying "you," Korean speakers often choose to use the person's name to address the person. This was the case in this conversation. 보라 (Bora) who is friends with 수진 (Sujin) uses the second person possessive pronoun 니 (ni). 민수 (minsu), who has just met these two for the first time, is using their names to address them.

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is Korean Linking Particles


In this lesson, we will discuss the Korean linking particles -하고 (-hago), -(이)랑 [-(i)rang], and -와/과 (-wa/gwa). We will also discuss the Korean verbal infix we use to convey the past.

- 하고(-hago) "And, With"

We use -하고 (-hago) to link nouns in coordination in a sentence. We can translate it as "with," or "and," both of which must be implied from context. -하고 (-hago) links the nouns in consecutive order. We can use -하고 (-hago) with as many nouns as desired. However, we must link it to each noun in coordination. When we use this particle with one noun, a non-present noun is assumed to be connected to the linked noun. In this case, we still translate it as "with" or "and." This particle is interchangeable with -(이)랑 [(-i)rang], and is considered conversational Korean.

Construction

noun + -하고 (-hago)

In This Dialogue

1. 현석: 학교하고, 영화관하고, 중국하고, 피씨방 갔어요. hakgyo-hago, yeonghwagwan-hago, jungguk-hago, pissibang gasseoyo Hyeonseok: "We went to school, the movie theater, China, and PC Bang."

More Examples



선생님하고 밥 먹었어요.seonsaengnim-hago bap meogeosseoyo. "I ate with the teacher."

밥하고, 찌개하고, 갈비하고, 김치 먹었어요.

bap-hago, jjigae-hago, galbi-hago, gimchi meogeosseoyo.

"We ate rice, stew, galbi, and kimchi."

한국어 사전하고 일본어 사전 주세요.

hangugeo sajeon-hago ilboneo sajeon juseyo.

"Please give me a Korean dictionary and a Japanese dictionary."

저하고 같이 가요! jeo-hago gachi gayo! "Let's go with me."

친구하고 영화 보러 가요.chingu-hago yeonghwa boreo gayo.

"I'm going to the movies with my friend."

Please note: -하고 (-hago) is suffixed to all the nouns in the sequence.

- (이)랑 [-(i)rang] And, With

We use -(이)랑 [-(i)rang] to link nouns in coordination in a sentence. We can translate it as "with," or "and," both of which must be implied from context. -(이)랑 links the nouns in consecutive order. We can use -(이)랑 with as many nouns as desired. However, we must link it to each noun in coordination. When we use this particle with one noun, a non-present noun is assumed to be connected to the linked noun. In this case, we still translate it as "with" or "and." This particle is interchangeable with -하고 (-hago), and we consider it conversational Korean.

Construction

-랑 attaches to nouns that end in vowels. -이랑 attaches to nouns that end in consonants.


In This Dialogue

1. 엄마: 너 누구랑 같이 있었어?! neo nugu-rang gachi isseosseo?! Mom: "Who were you with?"

2. 현석: 지혜랑, 수업이랑, 수희랑, 지업이랑 같이 있었어요. jihye-rang, sueob-irang, suhui-rang, jieob-irang gachi isseosseoyo Hyeonseok: "I was with Hyejin, Sueop, Suhui, and Jiyeop."

More Examples

1. 선생님이랑 밥 먹었어요. seonsaengnim-irang bap meogeosseoyo. "I ate with the teacher."

2. 밥이랑, 찌개랑, 갈비랑, 김치 먹었어요. bap-irang, jjigae-rang, galbi-rang, gimchi meogeosseoyo. "We ate rice, stew, galbi, and kimchi."

3. 엄마랑, 아빠랑, 할아버지랑, 누나랑 다 같이 여행했어요. eomma-rang, appa-rang, harabeoji-rang, nuna-rang, da gati yeohaenghaesseoyo. "We all went on a trip with my mom, dad, grandfather, and my sister."

Please note: -(이)랑 is suffixed to all the nouns in the sequence.

- 와/과 (-wa/gwa) And, With

We use -와/과 (-wa/gwa) to link nouns in coordination in a sentence. We can translate it as "with," or "and," both of which must be implied from context. -와/과 (-wa/gwa) links the nouns in consecutive order. We can use -와/과 (-wa/gwa) with as many nouns as desired. However, we


must link it to each noun in coordination. When we use this particle with one noun, a non-present noun is assumed to be connected to the linked noun. In this case, we still translate it as "with" or "and." This particle is interchangeable with -하고 (-hago) and -(이)랑 [-(i)rang], and we consider it formal Korean. We do not use -와/과 (-wa/gwa) as often as -하고 (-hago) and -(이)랑 [-(i)rang] in conversational Korean, but we can find it more often in written Korean.

Construction

We use -와 (wa) to link nouns ending in consonants. We use -과 (gwa) to link nouns ending in vowels.

More Examples


한국과 중국은 다릅니다.hanguk-gwa jungguk-eun dareumnida.

"Korea and China are different."

"Suyeon lives in the same apartment as I do."

영화와 현실은 달라요.yeonghwa-wa hyeonsil-eun dallayo.

"Movies and the reality are different."

-았/었/였 Past Tense

-(았/었/였)- is a verbal infix, which we use to convey the past tense.

We use 았 for verbs that have ㅏ or ㅗ as the last vowel in the verb stem.


We use 었 for verbs that do not have ㅏ or ㅗ as the last vowel in the verb stem. We use 였 for 하다 (hada) verbs.

Many times, there are deletions and contractions with repeating vowels. If a verb-stem ends in a consonant, there are no deletions or contractions. These contraction and deletion rules follow the 아/어/여 conjugation. Please refer to the grammar bank entry on -아/어/여 conjugation to refer to rules for contraction and deletion.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Using Full Names in Korea!

When people are being scolded by their family members or by someone they are on close terms with, many times they will be addressed by their full name (as was the case in today's


situation). It is a bit on the feminine side to call someone in this manner. It is an attempt to bring attention to the person.

텔레비전에 우리 아빠 나왔어.Telebijeone uri appa nawasseo "My dad was on TV."

혼자 텔레비전 봐.honja tellebijeon bwa. "I'm watching TV by myself."

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is Expressing One Action "Before" Another With - 기 전에


텔레비전 보기 전에 숙제 해! terebijyeon bogi jeone sukjje hae! "Do your homework before you watch TV."

We use this grammatical pattern to set a timeline and express an action that occurs before another action. This pattern emphasizes the last action in the construction. We use the first action to give a time reference. We translate this construction as "before (verb1), (verb2)." We use this pattern to connect two verbs. We express politeness level, tense, negation, and mood through the second verb.

Construction

This construction uses two verbs. The second verb expresses the politeness level, tense, negation, and mood.

For example:

[Verb 1 - verb stem] + 기 전에 + [Verb 2] Before [Verb 1], [Verb 2]

Verb 1 - 자다 (jada) - "to sleep" 자 (ja) - verb stem Verb 2 - 먹다 (meokda) - "to eat"

자 + 기 전에 + 먹다 자기 전에 먹다 (jagi jeon-e meokda) - "eat before sleeping" 자기 전에 먹었어. "I ate before sleeping." 자기 전에 못 먹었어. "I couldn't eat before sleeping."

In This Dialogue


1. 엄마: 텔레비전 보기 전에 숙제 해! tellebijyeon bogi jeone sukje hae! Mom: "Do your homework before you watch TV."

2. 엄마: 텔레비전 보기 전에 밥 먹어. tellebijyeon bogi jeone bap meogeo. Mom: "Eat something before you watch TV."

3. 엄마: 텔레비전 보기 전에 샤워 해. tellebijyeon bogi jeone syawo hae. Mom: "Take a shower before you watch TV."

More Examples


한국에 가기 전에 러시아에 갔습니다.

hanguge gagi jeone reosiae gasseumnida.

"Before going to Korea, he went to Russia."

자기 전에 책을 읽어. jagi jeone chaegeul ilgeo."Read a book before sleeping."

저는 농구하기 전에 샤워했어요.

jeoneun nongguhagi jeone syawohaesseoyo.

"Before playing basketball, I took a shower."

너랑 만나기 전에 민호 만났어.neorang mannagi jeone minho mannasseo.

"I met Minho before I met you."

오기 전에 전화해 줘. ogi jeone jeonhwahae jwo."Please call me before you come over!"

Remember


This grammatical construction is actually the nominalization of Verb 1 followed by the 전에 (jeone). 전 (jeon) means "before" and 에 (e) is the time marking particle.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

Sitting on the Floor in Korea

Just as there is Western style to sit, there is an original Korean style which is to sit on the floor. So when watching TV, many Korean families will still sit on the floor. Also not only watching television, but other many activities also take place on the floor as well such as having a meal.

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is the Korean Conjunction "and" - ...고 엄마... 저 방 청소했고, 빨래했고, 숙제했고, 공부했어요. "Mom...I cleaned my room, did the laundry, did my homework, and studied."

We use 고 (go) to connect verbs together. Generally, we translate it as "and" in English, and it


works like the English conjunction "and." We also use it for connecting two or more clauses together in a single sentence. When used in a sequence of verbs, the last verb in the sequence does not carry 고 (go).

Construction

Present Tense / Future Tense Verb Stem + 고 (Verb Stem 1)고, (Verb Stem 2)고, (Verb 3)

1. 쇼핑하다 (syopinghada) "to shop" (verb stem = 쇼핑하)

2. 밥 먹다 (bap meokda) "to eat food" (verb stem = 밥 먹)

3. 커피 마시다 (keopi masida) "to drink coffee"

4. (쇼핑하 + 고), + (밥 먹 + 고), + (커피 마시다) =

5. 쇼핑하고, 밥 먹고, 커피 마시다. syopinghago bap meokgo keopi masida "To shop and eat and drink coffee."

Clause 1 + 고, Clause 2 (Clause 3, Clause 4, etc.) *In this construction, we attach 고 (go) to the verb stem in the clause.

Past Tense Verb Stem + 았/었/였 + 고 (Verb Stem 1) + 았/었/였 + 고, (Verb Stem 2) + 았/었/였 + 고, (Verb 3)

1. 공부하다 (gongbuhada) "to study"

2. 가다 (gada) "to go"


3. 한국어 공부했고, 집에 갔어요. hangugeo gongbu haetgo, jib-e gasseoyo. "I studied Korean and went home."

In This Dialogue

1. 현석: 엄마... 저 방 청소했고, 빨래했고, 숙제했고, 공부했어요. 텔레비젼 볼래요. eomma... jeo bang cheongsohaetgo, sukjehaetgo, gongbuhaesseoyo. tellebijyeon bollaeyo. Hyeonseok: "Mom...I cleaned my room, did the laundry, did my homework, and studied. I want to watch television."

2. 엄마: 안 돼! 밥 만들고, 엄마 빨래 하고, 아빠 빨래 하고, 내일 아침 밥도 만들어! an dwae! bap mandeulgo, eomma ppallae hago, appa ppallae hago, naeil achim bap-do mandeureo! Mom: "No! Make dinner, do my laundry, do your father's laundry, and make tomorrow's breakfast!"

3. 현석: 엄마... 저 힘들고, 피곤해요... 텔레비젼 안 볼래요. 잘래요. eomma... jeo himdeulgo, pigonhaeyo... tellebijyeon an bollaeyo. jallaeyo. Hyeonseok: "Mom...I'm tired and exhausted. I don't want to watch television. I want to sleep."

Remember

1. The last verb in the sequence does not carry 고.

2. Even when았/었/였 does not precede -고, if the whole sentence is in the past tense (determined by the last verb of the sentence), -고 can refer to the past, as it's shown in example numbers 3 and 4 below.

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is the Volitional Form and Connecting Actions With "and" -아/어/여+서 그럼 하와이에 가서, 골프를 칠까요? "Then do you want to go to Hawaii and play golf?"

We use this grammatical pattern to connect one action to another. The first clause gives reason or logical basis for what happens in the second clause. This is similar to -고, but -아/어/여+서 express a more logical bond between the two actions or the order in which the two actions happen.

Construction

I. We use -아서 (-aseo) with verbs that have either the vowel ㅗ (o) orㅏ (a) in the verb stem's final syllable.

For example:

1. 가다 (gada) "to go" - 가 (ga) - verb stem

2. - 오다 (oda) "to come" - 오 (o) - verb stem


Note: We often fuse -아 (-a) in -아서 (-aseo) into verb stems if the verb stem doesn't end in a consonant.

For example:

1. 가(다) + -아서 = 가서

2. 오(다) + -아서 = 와서

II. We use -어서 (-eoseo) with verbs that have any vowel other than the vowels ㅗ (o) orㅏ (a) in the verb stem's final syllable.

For example:

1. 늦다 (neutda) "to be late" - 늦 (neut) - verb stem

2. - 크다 (keuda) "to be big" - 크 (keu) - verb stem

Note: We often fuse -어 (-eo) in -어서 (-eoseo) into verb stems if the verb stem doesn't end in a consonant.

For example:

1. 늦(다) + -어서 = 늦어서

2. 크(다) + -어서 = 커서

III. We use -여서 (-yeoseo) with 하다 (hada) verbs.

Note: We fuse -여 (-yeo) in -여서 (-yeoseo) into 하 (ha) - the verb stem of 하다 (hada). This results in 해 (hae).

"Let's get up quickly and go to school."


신촌에 가서 옷을 샀어요.sinchon-e gaseo os-eul sasseoyo.

"I went to Sinchon and bought some clothes."

The Volitional Form -ㄹ(을)까요?

We use the volitional form to express intention on the part of the speaker or to invite someone to do something. Specifically, we use it when asking someone if one would like to do something with the speaker, or with a group that includes the speaker. In English, we can translate it as, "shall we...?"

In addition to inviting someone to do something, we also use it to ask for one's opinion, view, or appraisal about a certain fact. In this specific usage, we translate it as, "will it be (verb)?"

Construction

-ㄹ/을까요? - (-l/eulkkayo) - Standard Politeness Level -ㄹ/을까? - (-l/eulkka) - Intimate Politeness Level

We use -ㄹ까요? (-lkkayo?) with verbs that end in vowels.

For example:

보다 (boda) "to see, to watch" 보 - verb stem 보 + ㄹ까요? (bo + lkkayo) 볼까요? (bolkkayo?) "Shall we watch?" (Standard Politeness Level) 볼까? (bolkka?) "Shall we watch?" (Intimate Politeness Level)

We use -을까요? (-eulkkayo?) with verbs that end in consonants.

For example:

재미있다 (jaemiitda) "to be fun, to be interesting" 재미있 (jaemiit) - verb stem 재미있 + -을까요 (jaemiit) + (-eulkkayo?)


재미있을까요? (jaemiisseulkkayo?) "Will it be fun?" / "What do you think?" (Standard Politeness Level) 재미있을까? (jaemiisseulkka?) "Will it be fun?" / "What do you think?" (Intimate Politeness Level)

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is to Express Reasons in Korean: "Because" -기 때문에 오늘 비가 왔기 때문에 못 갔어요. "It was raining today so I couldn't go."


-기 때문에 (-gi ttaemune) means "because" and we use it to show the reason for an action or a state. Originally, 때문에 in Korean means "because of," so by adding -기 at the end of the [verb stem] or the [verb stem + past infix], you literally nominalize the verb and say "because of verb(-ing) ."

There are several ways to express reasons in Korean:

1. Verb stem + (past infix if necessary) + -아/어/여 + 서

2. Verb stem + (past infix if necessary) + -(으)니까

3. Verb stem + (past infix if necessary) + -(으)므로

4. Verb stem + (past infix if necessary) + -기 때문에

때문에 generally expresses a stronger justification of the consequence than -아/어/여서, and is equally as strong as -(으)니까. So if you say -기 때문에 or 때문에, you are (in most cases) indicating that what has happened, is happening, or will happen as a consequence, has all the right reasons to happen.

Construction

I. Verb stem + (past infix if necessary) + -기 때문에

II. Noun + 때문에

Remember

The syntax order in Korean is often different from that in English, so we can also translate -기 때문에 as "therefore" or "so," depending on which part of the entire sentence you translate first.

In This Dialogue


1. 유근: 오늘 비가 왔기 때문에 못 갔어요. Oneul bi-ga watgi ttaemune mot gasseoyo. Yugeun: "It was raining today so I couldn't go."

2. 유근: 어제는 춥기 때문에 못 갔어요. Eojeo-neun chupgi ttaemune mot gasseoyo. Yugeun: "It was cold yesterday so I couldn't go."

"Because it is expensive, I can't buy it."

너무 멀기 때문에 가기 싫어요.neomu meolgi ttaemune gagi sireoyo.

"Because it is too far, I don't want to go."

오늘은 비가 오기 때문에 우산이 잘 팔려요.

oneul-eun bi-ga ogi ttaemune usan-i jal pallyeoyo.

"It's raining today so the umbrellas are selling well."

야근 때문에 너무 피곤해!yageun ttaemune neomu pigonhae!

"I'm so tired because of working extra hours!"

너 때문이야! neo ttaemuniya. "It's all because of you!"

무엇 때문에 그러세요?mueot ttaemune geureoseyo?

"Why are you doing that?" ("You are doing it because of what?")

그렇기 때문에 그만두었어요.geureoki ttaemune geumandueosseoyo. "That's why I quit."

CULTURAL INSIGHT


Middle School and High School Attendance in Korea

In Korea, when you attend middle school or high school, many students and parents expect the 100% attendance rate for granted. This can be because they consider it to be a virtue, or because the students never really get to think of being absent for school as a possibility-except for when they are very sick. So when you graduate from middle school and high school, you get a certificate called 개근상,gaegeunsang, for not being absent at all for the entire three years.

GRAMMAR


The Focus of This Lesson is Expressing Reasons for Actions: "Because" -아/어/여서 오늘은 정말 피곤해서 쉴래요. "I am very tired today so I am going to rest."

-아/어/여서 is similar to -기 때문에, expressing a reason for an action or a state. -기 때문에 is slightly more formal and less colloquial, and -아/어/여서 is more colloquial and therefore we use it more commonly in everyday conversations. Unlike -기 때문에, to which you can add the past infix -었/았/였-, you cannot add the past infix to -아/어/여서 and we should express the tense through the other parts of the sentence.

Construction

I. We use -아서 (-aseo) with verbs that have either the vowel ㅗ (o) orㅏ (a) in the verb stem's final syllable.

For example:

1. 가다 (gada) "to go" 가 (ga) - verb stem ▶ 가 + 아서 ▶ 가서 (gaseo)

2. 오다 (oda) "to come" 오 (o) - verb stem ▶ 오 + 아서 ▶ 와서 (waseo)

Note: We often fuse -아 (-a) in -아서 (-aseo) into verb stems if the verb stem doesn't end in a consonant.

II. We use -어서 (-aseo) with verbs that have any vowel other than the vowels ㅗ (o) orㅏ (a) in the verb stem's final syllable.

For example:


1. 늦다 (neutda) "to be late" 늦 (neut) - verb stem ▶ 늦 + 어서 ▶ 늦어서

2. 크다 (keuda) "to be big" 크 (keu) - verb stem ▶ 크 + 어서 ▶ 커서

Note: We often fuse -어 (-eo) in -어서 (-eoseo) into verb stems if the verb stem doesn't end in a consonant.

III. We use -여서 (-yeoseo) with 하다 (hada) verbs.

Note: We fuse -여 (-yeo) in -여서 (-yeoseo) into 하 (ha) - the verb stem of 하다 (hada). This results in 해 (hae).

IV. Verb stems that end in -르 change to -ㄹ, then we attach them to the previous syllable, and -라서 follows them.

For example:

1. 모르다 ("to not know") ▶ 모르(다) ▶ 몰 + 라서 ▶ 몰라서 ("because I don't know") 전화번호를 몰라서 연락을 못 해요. "I can't contact him because I don't know his phone number."

2. 고르다 ("to choose") ▶ 고르(다) ▶ 골 + 라서 ▶ 골라서 ("because I choose") 너무 비싼 것을 골라서, 남자친구가 화가 났어요. "My boyfriend is upset because I chose something too expensive."

In This Dialogue


1. 유근: 오늘은 몸이 안 좋아서 학교 못 가요. Yugeun: oneul-eun mom-i an joaseo hakgyo mot gayo. Yugeun: "I am sick so I can't go to school today."

2. 유근: 오늘은 정말 피곤해서 쉴래요. Yugeun: oenul-eun jeongmal pigonhaeseo swillaeyo. Yugeun: "I am very tired today so I am going to rest."

Remember

For situations in which you make suggestions as to what to do and say, -자 or -ㅂ시다, you use -(으)니까, and can't use -아/어/여서.

For example:

1. Incorrect: 오늘은 추워서, 집에 있자

2. Correct: 오늘은 추우니까, 집에 있자

For situations in which you connect two separate actions in logical order and say, "I did XX because I did YY," you can use both -기 때문에 and -아/어/여서. However, when you are apologizing for a past action, you can't say -기 때문에, but must use -아/어/여서 + 죄송합니다/미안해요/미안해.

For example:

1. Incorrect: 늦게 왔으니까 미안해.

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is Expressing Reasons Related to the Future: Because, Since -(으)니까 그래도 졸업식이니까, 선생님이랑 사진 찍자. "But still, it is graduation day, so let's take a picture."

We use -(으)니까 when expressing a reason, along with -기 때문에 (gi ttaemune) and -서 (seo). While we usually use the other two to express reasons related to the past tense, we usually use -(으)니까 to express a future decision or a command, or when we use it to discuss a past action, it expresses something that was rightfully supposed to be that way.

Construction Construction

For example:


1. 일기를 쓰다 (ilgi-reul sseuda) "to write a diary" 일기를 쓰 (verb stem ending in a vowel) + 니까 = 일기를 쓰니까 일기를 쓰니까 (ilgi-reul sseunikka) "because I write a diary"

2. 돈이 있다 (itda) "to have money" 돈이 있 (verb stem ending in a consonant) + 으니까 = 돈이 있으니까 돈이 있으니까 (don-i isseunikka) "because I have money"

GRAMMAR


The Focus of This Lesson is the Intentional Sentence Ending -(으)려고 하다 지금 공부 하려고. "I'm going to study."

-(으)려고 하다 (-ryeogo hada) is an intentional sentence ending we use with action verbs and the verb of existence, 있다 (itda). This expresses the subject's intention or determines the subject's actions. We can use it with all persons (first person, second persons, and third persons), whereas other intentional sentence endings are limited.

We can translate this grammatical structure as "intend to (verb)," "going to (verb)," and "plan to (verb)."

We express mood, tense, negation, and politeness levels in the latter part of the grammatical structure, 하다 (hada).

Construction

Verb Stem + -(으)려고 하다 Conjugation differs slightly (according to the verb stem).

I. Verb Stem that ends in a vowel + 려고 하다 쉬다 (swida) "to rest" 쉬 (swi) - verb stem 쉬 + 려고 하다 쉬려고 하다 "to intend to rest" 저는 쉬려고 해요. "I intend to rest." / "I'm going to rest." / "I plan to rest."

II. Verb Stem that ends in a consonant + 으려고 하다 받다 (batda) "to receive" 받 (bat) - verb stem 받 + 으려고 하다 받으려고 하다 "to intend to receive" 제가 받으려고 합니다. "I intend to receive it."


Remember

Many times, we shorten this grammatical structure. The following are a few different colloquial variations of this grammatical structure:

Original Construction: -(으)려고 하다

For example:

1. 자다 (jada) "to sleep" 자 (verb stem) 자 + 려고 하다 자려고 하다. "to intend to sleep" 자려고 해. "to intend"

Abbreviated/Shortened Variations: I. -(으)려고 We remove 하다 from the construction. As we remove 하다 from this construction, there is no way to inflect politeness level. Generally speaking, to end a sentence in this manner makes it is closer to the intimate politeness level.

For example:

1. 자다 (jada) "to sleep" 자 (verb stem) 자 + 려고 자려고. "I intend to sleep."

II. -ㄹ/을라구 In addition to removing 하다, we have changed the construction itself. This is closest to the intimate politeness level.

For example:


1. 자다 (jada) "to sleep" 자 (verb stem) 자 + ㄹ라구 잘라구. "I intend to sleep."

In This Dialogue

1. 오빠: 세진아 지금 뭐 하려고? oppa: sejin-a jigeum mwo haryeogo? Older brother: "Sejin, what are you going to do now?"

2. 세진: 지금 공부 하려고. sejin: jigeum gongbu haryeogo. Sejin: "I'm going to study."

3. 세진: 과자는 나중에 먹으려고. sejin: gwaja-neun najung-e meokeuryeogo. Sejin: "I'm going to eat snacks later."

More Examples

1. 친구 집에서 영화 보려고 해. chinju jib-eseo yeonghwa boryeogo hae. "I'm going to watch a movie at a friend's house."

2. 내일 교수님을 만나려고 합니다. naeil gyosunim-eul mannaryeogo hamnida. "Tomorrow, I'm going to meet my professor."

3. 한국어를 공부 하려고 해. hangukeo-reul gongbu haryeogo hae. "I plan on studying Korean."

컴퓨터를 고치고 있어요. "I'm fixing the computer."

과자 많이 먹지 마. "Don't eat a lot of snacks!"

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is Showing Intention in Korean -ㄹ/을게 세진아 오빠 컴퓨터 할게. "Sejin, I'm going to use the computer, okay?"

-ㄹ/을게 (eulge) is the grammar structure that shows intentions. We use it to indicate a person's intention or plan, but usually as a response to someone's remarks or as a reaction to something that happened. We use this sentence final-ending construction with action verbs and the verb of existence 있다 (itda). Since we use it to express the speaker's intentions, we cannot use it in a question.

Construction

Verb stems ending in a vowel + -ㄹ게

1. 보다 (boda) - "to see" 보(다) + -ㄹ게 ▶ 볼게 ("I will see it")

▶ Verb stems ending in a consonant (other than ㄹ)+ -을게

1. 잡다 (japda) - "to catch" 잡(다) + -을게 ▶ 잡을게 ("I will catch it")


▶ Verb stems ending inㄹ + -게

1. 놀다 (nolda) - "to play" 놀(다) + -게 ▶ 놀게 ("I will play")

In This Dialogue

1. 오빠: 세진아 오빠 컴퓨터 할게. oppa: sejin-a oppa keompyuteo halge. Older brother: "Sejin, I'm going to use the computer okay?"

2. 오빠: 그럼 오빠 이 과자 먹을게. oppa: geureom oppa i gwaja meogeulge. Older brother: "Then, I'm going to eat this okay?"

3. 오빠: 그럼 오빠 TV 볼게. oppa: geureom oppa TV bolge. Older brother: "Then, I am going to watch TV okay?"

☞ Remember ☜

Even when you're directly asked about your intentions or plans, if what you're intending to do has not been affected or decided by what the other person has just said, you cannot use -ㄹ/을게 because this is more of a reactive statement or decision when it's in the middle of a conversation. In this case, -ㄹ/을 것이다 is more natural (-ㄹ/을 거예요, -ㄹ/을 거야). But you CAN use -ㄹ/을게 when you are starting a conversation and just giving the person an idea of what you're going to do as in 나 갈게! ("I'm leaving!").




나 먼저 갈게. 안녕! [가다]na meonjeo galge. annyeong! "I'm leaving first. Bye!"

먼저 가. 나중에 갈게. [가다]meonjeo ga. najung-e galge.

"You go first. I'll be there later."

내일 말해 줄게. [말하다/주다] naeil malhae julge. "I will tell you tomorrow."

저 유럽에 다녀올게요. [다녀오다] jeo yureop-e danyeoolgeyo. "I'm going to go to Europe."

제가 도와드릴게요. [도와드리다] je-ga dowadeurilgeyo. "Let me help you."

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is Expressing a Future Action or Intention -ㄹ(을) 것이다 자꾸 싸울 거야? "Are you two going to keep fighting?"

We use this grammar point to express a future action or an intention. This is stronger than the other intentionals, -ㄹ(을)게(요) and -려고 하다, since -ㄹ(을)게(요) has the partial nuance of asking for permission or agreement, and -려고 하다 is an expression of a plan or an intention without being absolutely resolute about it. And different from -ㄹ(을)게(요), which can't be made into a question, we can use this grammar pattern to make a question.

We can change the latter part, 것이다, to 거야, 거예요, and 것입니다 in the present tense,


depending on the politeness levels.

Construction

▶ Verb stems ending in a vowel + -ㄹ 것이다

1. [가다] (gada) - "to go" 가(다) + ㄹ 것이다 = 갈 것이다 ("will go") 갈 거야 (intimate)갈 거예요 (standard) 갈 것입니다 or 갈 겁니다 (formal)

2. [보다] (boda) - "to see" 보(다) + ㄹ 것이다 = 볼 것이다 ("will see") 볼 거야 (intimate) 볼 거예요 (standard) 볼 것입니다 or 볼 겁니다 (formal)

▶ Verb stems ending in a consonant + -을 것이다

1. [잡다] (japda) - "to catch" 잡(다) + 을 것이다 = 잡을 것이다 ("will catch") 잡을 거야 (intimate) 잡을 거예요 (standard) 잡을 것입니다 or 잡을 겁니다 (formal)

▶ Verb stems ending with -ㄹ + 것이다

1. [살다] (salda) - "to live" 살(다) + 것이다 = 살 것이다 ("will live") 살 거야 (intimate) 살 거예요 (standard) 살 것입니다 or 살 겁니다 (formal)

In This Dialogue


1. 엄마: 자꾸 싸울 거야? eomma: jakku ssaul geoya? Mom: "Are you two going to keep fighting?"

2. 엄마: 자꾸 동생 괴롭힐 거야? eomma: jakku dongsaeng goeropil geoya? Mom: "Are you going to keep bugging your sister?"

3. 엄마: 너희들 현석이네 보낼 거야! eomma: neohuideul hyeonseokine bonael geoya! Mom: "I am gonna send you two to Hyeonseok's place!"

Construction

Action Verb Stem + 고 있다 (go itda)

1. 먹다 (meokda) - "to eat" 먹 - verb stem 먹고 있다 - "to be eating"

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is the Requestive -주다


진용아 나 밥 사 줘! "Jinyong, buy me food!"

We can use the verb 주다 as the requestive when it's in an imperative sentence or in a question. We use the requestive to make a request to someone such as requesting an action from someone, and we use it in conjunction with action verbs. The action we request is always a request on behalf of, or for the sake of a person (the speaker, a third party, etc.) or an entity (a group, a school, etc.). The request we make must be on behalf of another party.

We can literally translate this phrase as "please do (verb) for (me)." We can conjugate the final verb 주다 (juda), which literally means "to give," according to tense, politeness level, and negation.

We can replace the final verb 주다 (juda) with its humbling version, 드리다 (deurida) in this grammatical construction. To use the humbling version, simply replace 주다 with 드리다 and use the same grammatical pattern.

When the action itself is 주다 ("to give") however, you use 주다 only once.

For example:

1. Incorrect: 줘 주다

2. Correct: 주다

Construction

(Action verb stem) + 아/어/여 주다

보다 (boda) - "to see, to watch, to look" 보 (bo) - verb stem 보 + 아 주다. (bo + a juda) 봐 주다. (bwa juda). 봐 줘. (bwa jwo).


"Watch for me." (Imperative / Intimate Politeness Level)

애들 좀 봐 줘. aedeul jom bwa jwo. "Please watch the kids (for me)."

Yura: "Jinyong, buy me food!"

유라: 그럼... 숙제 도와 줘.yura: geureom... sukje dowa jwo.

유라: 그러면 나 집에 데려다 줘.yura: geureomyeon na jib-e deryeoda jwo.

Yura: "Then, take me home."

유라: 흑... 헤어져 줘! yura: heuk... heeojyeo jwo!Yura: (crying) "Break up with me!"



엄마! 밥 해 줘! eomma! bap hae jwo!"Mom! Make me some food!"

좋은 남자 소개해 주세요.joeun namja sogaehae juseyo.

"Please introduce me to a good man."

내일 전화해 줘. naeil jeonhwahae jwo. "Call me tomorrow."


할머니 생일 선물 사 드릴게요.halmeoni saengil seonmul sa deurilgeyo.

"I'll buy you a birthday present, Grandma."

죄송한데요... 문 좀 열어 주실래요?

joesonghandeyo... mun jom yeoreo jusillaeyo?

"I'm sorry, but...would you please open the door?"

☞ Remember ☜

When we use this construction in the question along with the grammatical pattern "-ㄹ/을까 (요) [-l/eulkka (yo)], the speaker is asking if he/she should perform that specific action on behalf of the other person. When used as a question, we can translate it as, "Should/Shall I (verb) for you?"

For example:

1. 지워 줄까? jiwo julkka? "Shall I erase it (for you)?"

2. 나가 줄까? naga julkka? "Do you want me go outside (so that you can do things in private)?"

** Note: It is also possible to say 지워 줘? and 나가 줘 to mean the same thing as the sentences above. This is quite common, but it's more correct and clearer to say 지워 줄까? and 나가 줄까?

GRAMMAR

The Focus of This Lesson is Reviewing "Because," "and," "Before," and Simultaneous Actions 아니면 수업 시작하기 전에 밥을 안 먹어서 배고파? animyeon sueop sijakagi jeone babeul an meogeoseo baegopa? "Or are you hungry because you didn't eat anything before class?"

-(으)니까 (nikka) is a conjunction that we used to combine two clauses together. This clause indicates that the first clause is the reason the second clause happened or occurred. We can translate -(으)니까 (nikka) as "because," "since," or "so." We use -(으)니까 when expressing a reason, along with -기 때문에 (gi ttaemune) and -서 (seo). While we usually use the other two to express reasons related to the past tense, we use -(으)니까 to express a future decision or a command, or when we use it to discuss past actions, to talk about something that was rightfully supposed to be that way.

Construction

We attach 으니까 to the end of clauses that end in consonants. (Clause 1) 으니까 (Clause 2)

For example:

1. 매운 것을 못 먹으니까, 김밥 만들자. Maeun geoseul mon meogeunikka, gimbbap mandeulja. "They can't eat spicy food, so let's make gimbap."

We attach 니까 to the end of clauses that end in vowels.


(Clause 1) 니까 (Clause 2).

For example:

1. 지금 비 오니까 우산 가져가. Jigeum bi onikka usan gajyeoga. "It's raining now so take your umbrella with you."

In This Dialogue

1. 지선: 안 적어 놓으니까 자꾸 까먹지! Jiseon: an jeogeo noeunikka jakku kkameokjji! Jiseon: "You keep forgetting because you don't have it written down."


1. 맨날 술을 마시니까 돈이 없지. Maennal sureul masinikka doni eopjji. "You have no money because you drink every day."

2. 거짓말을 하니까 친구가 없지. Geojinmareul hanikka chinguga eopjji. "You have no friends because you tell lies."

아니면 수업 시작하기 전에 밥을 안 먹어서 배고파? "Or are you hungry because you didn't eat anything before class?"

We use this grammatical pattern to set a time line and express an action before another action. This pattern emphasizes the last action in the construction. We use the first action to give a time reference. We translate this construction as "before (verb1), (verb2)."


We use this pattern to connect two verbs. We express the politeness level, tense, negation, and mood through the second verb.

Construction

[Verb 1 - verb stem] + 기 전에 + [Verb 2] Before [Verb 1], [Verb 2]

Verb 1: 자다 (jada) - "to sleep" 자 (ja) - verb stem Verb 2: 먹다 (meokda) - "to eat"

자 + 기 전에 + 먹다 자기 전에 먹다. (Jagi jeone meoktta) - "Before sleeping, eat." 자기 전에 먹었어. (Jagi jeone meogeosseo) "I ate before sleeping." 자기 전에 못 먹었어. (Jagi jeone mon meogeosseo)"I couldn't eat before sleeping."

In This Dialogue

1. 장훈: 아니면 수업 시작하기 전에 밥을 안 먹어서 배고파? Janghun: animyeon sueop sijak hagi jeone babeul an meogeoseo baegopa? Janghun: "Or are you hungry because you didn't eat anything before class?"


1. 밥 먹기 전에 손 씻어. Bam meokki jeone son ssiseo. "Wash your hands before you eat."

2. 저는 자기 전에 책을 읽어요. Jeoneun jagi jeone chaegeul ilgeoyo. "I read before I go to sleep."


혹시 숙제 까먹고 집에 놓고 온 거 아니야? "Maybe you forgot your homework and left it at home. No?"

We use 고 (go) to connect verbs together. We generally translate it as "and" in English, and it works as the English conjunction "and." We also use it for connecting two or more clauses together in a single sentence. When used in a sequence of verbs, the last verb in the sequence does not carry 고 (go).

Construction

Verb Stem + 고 (Verb Stem 1)고, (Verb Stem 2)고, (Verb 3).

1. 쇼핑하다 (syopinghada) - "to shop" verb stem = 쇼핑하

2. 밥 먹다 (bap meoktta) - "to eat food" verb stem = 밥 먹

3. 커피 마시다 (keopi masida) - "to drink coffee" (쇼핑하 + 고), + (밥 먹 + 고), + (커피 마시다)

= 쇼핑하고, 밥 먹고, 커피 마시다. syopinghago bap meokko keopi masida. "To shop and eat and drink coffee."

Clause 1 + 고, Clause 2 (Clause 3, Clause 4, etc.) *In this construction, we attach 고 (go) to the verb stem in the clause.

공부하다 (gongbuhada) - "to study" 가다 (gada) - "to go" 한국어 공부했고, 집에 갔어요. hangugeo gongbuhaetgo, jib-e gasseoyo. "I studied Korean and went home."


In This Dialogue

1. 지선: 혹시 숙제 까먹고 집에 놓고 온 거 아니야? Jiseon: hokssi sukjje kkameokko jibe noko on geo aniya? Jiseon: "Maybe you forgot your homework and left it at home. No?"


1. 친구들하고 밥을 먹고, 노래방에 갔어요. Chingudeurago babeul meokko, noraebange gasseoyo. "I ate with my friends and went to a karaoke."

2. 영화를 보고, 옷을 사고, 햄버거를 먹을 거예요. Yeonghwareul bogo, oseul sago, haembeogeoreul meogeul kkeoyeyo. "I'm going to watch a movie, buy some clothes, and eat a hamburger."

아니면 일하면서 학교 다녀서 힘들어? animyeon irhamyeonseo hakkyo danyeoseo himdeureo? "Or maybe you're tired because you're working while going to school?"

We use -(으)면서 [-(eu)myeonseo] to express two simultaneous actions taking place. We can translate this as "while." It can also link two clauses that are taking action at the same time. We only use this construction with actions verbs. We express tense, negation, and politeness level in the final verb or clause. We can only use this construction with two simultaneous actions, not consecutive or subsequent actions.

Construction

Action 1 (Verb stem) + -(으)면서 Action 2


Verb stems ending in consonants use -으면서 먹다 (meokda) - "to eat" 먹 (meok) - verb stem 먹 + -으면서 먹으면서 영화를 봐요. Meogeumyeonseo yeonghwareul bwayo. "While eating, I watch a movie."

Verb stems ending in vowels use -면서 자다 (jada) - "to sleep" 자 (ja) - verb stem 자 + -면서 자면서 말해요. Jamyeonseo malhaeyo. "While I sleep, I talk."

In This Dialogue

1. 장훈: 아니면 일하면서 학교 다녀서 힘들어? Janghun: animyeon ilhamyeonseo hakkyo danyeoseo himdeureo? Janghun: "Or maybe you're tired because you're working while going to school?"


1. 저는 음악 들으면서 공부해요. Jeoneun eumak deureumyeonseo gongbuhaeyo. "I study while listening to the music."

2. 밥 먹으면서 TV 보지 마. Bap meogeumyeonseo TV boji ma. "Don't watch TV while you're eating."
