Chapter 1

Forming Questions and Answers One of the basic features of Korean grammar is that the verb comes at the end of the sentence. Mr. Kim is making introductions. --김선생님, 안녕하십니까? --How are you, Mr. Kim? verb --정선» 이분Ô, 아십니까? --Do you know this gentleman, verb Mr. Chung? --아니오, 모릅니다. --No, I don't know him. verb --처음 뵙겠습니다. --Glad to meet you. (Literally: verb I meet you for the first time.) As is clear, the verb endings are different:

statement ending ㅂ니다.

question ending ㅂ니까?

Chapter 1

About Korean Verbs The verb is arguably the single most important word in any given Korean sentence. Here are some verbs presented in this chapter. • 감사합니다. Thank you. • 고맙습니다. Thank you. (I'm grateful.) • 좋습니다. (It's, I'm, etc.) good, fine, okay, all right. • 괜찮습니다. (It's, I'm, etc.) good, fine, okay, all right. If you want to look up these words in the dictionary, you will not find them as they appear above. This is because all Korean language dictionaries list verbs in their most rudimentary or basic form, and it would be difficult to locate an unknown verb without knowing this form. This "dictionary form", parenthetically, is somewhat similar to, but not the same as, the infinitive form in English. Below are the basic forms of the verbs above.

Page 5: Grammar Korean

dictionary 감사하다 thank, thankful 감사합니다. Thank you. 고맙다 thankful, grateful 고맙습니다. Thank you. 좋다 good 좋습니다. It's good. 괜찮다 fine, satisfactory 괜찮습니다. It's fine, satisfactory. When you look at this rudimentary form of verbs, you find some uniformity, i.e., the last syllable is always -다. The remainder, except for -다, is often referred to as theverb stem. In other words, Korean verbs consist of at least two parts, a stem and a verb ending. 감사하다 thanks, thankful 좋다 good stem stem 고맙다 thankful 괜찮다 fine, satisfactory stem stem In order to convert these basic forms into complete and usable verbs in sentences, you replace the -다 ending with another ending.

• 좋다 좋 ㅎThe stem of the verb i.e., , ends in a consonant, in this case, . • 감사하다 감사하 ㅏThe stem of the verb i.e., , ends in a vowel, in this case, .

Therefore:

• 습니다Simply add to the stem of any verb ending in a consonant to get the 좋습니다statement form of the verb, e.g., . (It's good.)

• ㅂ니다Similarly, add to the stem of any verb ending in a vowel for the same 감사합니다result, e.g., . (Thank you.)

stem ending in a consonant 좋 습니다+ � 좋습니다

stem ending in a vowel 감사하 ㅂ니다+ � 감사합니다

Chapter 2

Telling "What" is "Where"

Page 6: Grammar Korean

Different languages employ different conventions to indicate how a word is used in a sentence. If you have studied other languages you are already aware of this fact. In English, for example, suffixes are used to show plural (horse-->horses, ox-->oxen) and to distinguish number in verb conjugations (athletes run, she runs). Word order is another way of showing function in a sentence. For example, the subject may be placed at the beginning of a sentence, followed by the verb, then the object, as in "The girl threw the ball." Nouns will also follow prepositions to indicate notions such as location, direction, time, etc., as in "The girl threw the ball to her brother." Korean has a system of suffixes that are added to different parts of speech to indicate their function in a sentence. They are variously referred to as (a) "markers," which are used to show the subject and object, (b) "postpositions," which are similar to prepositions in English, and (c) "endings," which indicate specific uses of the verb. Notice the underlined elements in the nouns. 강이 없습니다. 나무가 많습니다. 우리 고향에 사람이 적습니다.

Chapter 2 A. 이 가이 가이 가이 가The markers and

이 가The markers and indicate the subject of a sentence. • 아파트 가 큽니다 The apartment is large/spacious. • 나무가 작습니다습니다습니다습니다 The tree is small. • 김일병이 있습니다 A1C Kim is here. • 산이 없없없없습니다 There are no mountains.

Page 7: Grammar Korean

아파트 나무Note that in the first pair of sentences, the nouns and end in a vowel and,가 일병 산consequently, take the marker . In the second pair, and end in consonants

이and take the marker .

N + 이이이이 /가가가가

nouns ending in vowels 가+ 나무가 ...

nouns ending in consonants 이+ 강이 ...

Chapter 2 에에에에B. The postposition

The postposition 에에에에 roughly conveys the meaning of the English prepositions at, in, on, or to, 에and is attached to the noun it marks. This chapter will treat the markeronly as it pertains to the meaning at, in, or on. The fourth equivalent definition, to, will be covered in a later chapter.

One of these speakers is looking for a person on campus. --미스박이 교실에 있습니까? --Is Miss Park in the classroom? --아니오 식당, 에 있습니다. --No, she's at the dining hall. --식당이 이 빌딩에 있습니까? --Is the dining hall located in this building? --아니오 산 위, 에 있습니다. --No, it's on the hill.

N 에+

C. A note on word order In the following two sentences, note that the subject comes first in one sentence, while that is not the case in the other sentence. • 산에에에에 학교가가가가 있습니다 There's a school on the hill. • 학교가가가가 산에에에에 있습니다 The school's on the hill. Because nouns are marked for their function in a Korean sentence, a degree of flexibility is allowed in placing the subject within that sentence. Shifting the word order, however, changes the emphasis. The first sentence answers the question, "What's on the mountain?" The second answers the question, "Where is the school?"

Chapter 3

Expressing Possession

있다 없다The verbs / used with the 에postposition mean existence or location of the subject (something or someone). • 서울이 한국에 있습니다. Seoul is in Korea. • 권소희씨가 학교에 있습니다. Ms. Kwon Sohee is at school As you see in these examples, in order to express the existence or location of a

서울이 권소희subject (something, , and someone, ¾쒼¡ ), you need to state where the subject is, using the postposition -에 한국에 학교에, i.e., and .

있다In addition to this function, can be used to express the possession of somethingby the subject. If you want to express in Korean that someone has something, the thing possessed is the subject. The possessor, however, looks like another subject in the same sentence. Examine the following diagram examples.

박 하사가 딸이 있습니다.

possessor possessed --김선생님 컴퓨터, 가 있습니까? --Mr. Kim, do you have a computer? --네 제, ( 가 컴퓨터가 ) 있습니다. --Yes, I have (a computer).

Page 9: Grammar Korean

--박하사가 아이들이 있습니까? --Does SGT Park have children? --네 박하사, 가 딸이 하나 --Yes, SGT Park has a daughter. He 있습니다. 아들이 없습니다. doesn't have a son.

Chapter 3

Expressing Respect Korean is a typical honorific language where people are socially obliged to show their respect to the person they are talking to or about. Koreans can hardly utter a sentence without considering their social relationships with the hearer or the person talked about, in terms of relative age, social status, kinship, and rank in the military or the work place. Honorifics are expressed in different ways, e.g., using a set of specific words depending on the relationships, adding certain grammatical elements to some words, using different sentence endings, etc. Although it is the speaker's choice whether to use honorifics, i.e., there is the subjective choice of how much respect to show to whom, there are social norms that most people tend to follow. There are two ways of expressing honorifics. The first is by using a set of vocabulary items and the second is by adding an ending to the verb stem.

Chapter 3 A. Forming honorifics using specific words For Koreans, it is not appropriate to express existence or location of a person older

있다than or superior to you with . Because the expression of both possession andlocation is literally interpreted as "someone higher exists in you/somewhere," Koreans are socially obliged to show respect to their superior's existence by using an honorific verb for exist 있습니다 없습니다 계십니다 안 계십니다. Thus, instead of using / , / areoften used to elevate the status of the person to whom you are referring or someone who is located somewhere. --김일병 부모님이 모두, 계십니까? --PFC Kim, are both of your parents living? --아니오 아버지가, 안 계십니다. --No, my father died. --그럼 어머니가 어디에 계십니까? --Well, then, where is your mother? --한±뮈 계십니다¡ . --She's in Korea. In the previous conversation, Mr. Hong and PFC Kim are talking about PFC Kim's parents. Because of Mr. Hong's social status, he does not need to express respect to

계십니다PFC Kim. However, he is obliged to express respect for his parents. Thus,있습니다is used instead of .

Page 10: Grammar Korean

Chapter 3

B. Forming honorifics with an honorific infix Another way of expressing respect is to insert an honorific infix, - 으 시( ) , between the verb stem and the verb ending to convey respect for the hearer and/or the person talked about. 안녕하십니까? � 안녕하 + 시 ㅂ니까 안녕하다+ . ( ) 안녕히 가십시오. � 가 + 시 ㅂ시오 가다+ ( ) In the phrases above, the underlined parts of the left column include the honorific infix, -시. The forms to the right show how the infix is inserted between the verb stemand the ending. The dictionary form for each verb is given in parentheses. There are two variations of the honorific infix in the following examples, i.e., -시, and -으시 으. When the verb stem ends in a consonant, an extra vowel, , is inserted in front

시 시of . Otherwise, only is added. 우리 아버지가 키가 크십니다. � 크 + 시 ㅂ니다 크다+ ( ) My father is tall. 장선생님이 돈이 많으십니다. � 많 + 으시 ㅂ니다 많다+ ( ) Mr. Chang has a lot of money. 김일병 부모님이 아주 � 좋 + 으시 ㅂ니다 좋다+ ( ) 좋으십니다. PFC Kim's parents are very nice.

으 시으 시으 시으 시verb stem + ( ) + verb ending

When the verb stem ends in a consonant,

으시insert .

많 으시 ㅂ니다+ + � 많습니다

When the verb stem ends in a vowel,

시insert .

크 시 ㅂ니다+ + � 크십니다

In addition to the above, there are some irregular verbs that undergo a change. The ㄹ 알다 살다in the verbs and is dropped when the honorific infix - 으 시( ) is added, asin the following instances. Note that in the first example, respect is shown to the listener. In the second example, respect is shown to the subject. --이분 아십니까? � 알 + 시 ㅂ니까 알다+ ( ) Do you know this person?

Page 11: Grammar Korean

--네, 압니다 우리 동생 입니다. . � 알 ㅂ니다+ Yes, I know him. He's my brother. --그분이 어디 사십니까? � 살 + 시 ㅂ니까 살다+ ( ) Where does he live? --캐나다에 삽니다. � 살 ㅂ니다+ He lives in Canada.

Chapter 3

Expressing Identity 있다 is the equivalent of the English is in cases where the existence or presence of a person or thing is expressed. Another verb--이다--is used to link nouns. It has a basic form and adds endings as do other verbs. It differs, however, in that it attaches itself in spelling to the noun it links. See the following examples. • 제가 장홍수입니다. I am Chang Hongsu. • 이분이 한기수씨입니다. This gentleman is Mr. Han Kisu. The ending in both sentences is -입니다. -입니다 never stands alone and alwaysaffixes itself to another word, mostly nouns, at the end of a sentence. This verb is used to link together two nouns which refer to the same person or entity. For example,

Susan � � My sister is is

my sister. � � Susan. Susan is my sister. My sister is Susan.

수잔 � � 제여동생 입니다 입니다

제여동생 � � 수잔

수잔이 제여동생입니다 제여동생이 수잔. 입니다. Additional, similar examples are: • 이분이 우리 아버지입니다. This gentleman is my father. • 장홍수씨 의사, 입니까? Mr. Chang, are you a doctor? • 이름이 정승호입니다. My name is Chung Seungho. You can also add - 으 시 이다( ) to when you want to show respect for the subject.However, you never add this infix when the subject is yourself. • 이분이 한기수씨이십니다. This person is Mr. Han Kisu. • 이분이 우리 아버지이십니다. This person is my father.

Page 12: Grammar Korean

• 장홍수씨 공무원이, 십니까?. Mr. Chang, are you a government employee?

With -입니다입니다입니다입니다, you can ask and answer questions about age. To tell your age, the literal expression in Korean is "My age is twenty." --김일병 몇 살, 입니까? --PFC Kim, how old are you? --스무 살입니다. --I'm twenty years old.

Chapter 3

Informal Questions and Answers

Formal questions and statem ㅂ니 까 ㅂ니다ents end in ? and , respectively. Anotherending for both questions and statements is used as an informal, polite expression. Informal expressions are used when you talk informally to people to whom you feel close and whose social status is higher than yours, e.g., parents, elder brothers and sisters, and superiors. The ending used to express this level of informality is -요. This form isinterchangeable with the formal form without changing the latter's meaning. More often than not, women prefer using the informal ending while men prefer using the more formal one. In the following examples, the sentences on the right are interchangeable with, but less formal than, those on the left. • 이분 아십니까? 이분 아세요? Do you know this lady? • 아니오 모릅니다, . 아니오, 몰라요. No, I don't know him. • 이분이 한기숙 씨입니다 . 이분이 한기숙씨 에요. This is Ms. Han kisook.

Page 13: Grammar Korean

Following is a comparison of these two forms.

statement question

formal 있습니다. 있습니까?

informal 있어요. 있어요?

Due to the fact that the -요 remains constant whether used as a question orstatement, voice inflection (intonation) will be critical in distinguishing between questions and statements. As with many English sentences, statements have a falling intonation whereas questions have a rising intonation.

Chapter 4

Pointing Out Objects and Persons

The English words this, that, these, and those are used in two ways: first, as pronouns replacing nouns; alternatively, they are used as adjectives modifying nouns: pronouns: This is my house. (Instead of, "This house is my house.") Those are my friends. adjectives: This book is mine. Those books are yours. As parts of speech, they are known respectively as demonstrative pronouns and demonstrative adjectives. A third type of demonstrative is an adverb indicating place (here, there), as in: There are my books. Your books are here on my desk. Korean demonstratives are built on three elements--이 그 저, , and , which arecombined with nouns to indicate three locations: near the speaker, near the listener, and remote from both.

이 그 저/ / + noun

Page 14: Grammar Korean

• 이 + noun � an object or person close to the speaker • 그 + noun � an object or person close to the hearer • 저 + noun � an object or person away from both speaker and hearer

그Note: + noun is also used to indicate objects or persons previously mentioned.

Expressing To... and From...

에 에서The postpositions and carry meanings similar to the English words to and from, respectively. Each is added to a location or place name preceding verbs of

가다 오다locomotion such as and . --어디에 가세요? --(To) where are you going? --한국에 갑니다. --I'm going to Korea.

Page 15: Grammar Korean

--´ʼn 파티¡ 에 옵니까 ? --Who's coming to the party? --조선생님이 오십니다. --Mr. Cho is coming. --그런데 박하사 학교, , 에서 오세요? --By the way, Sergeant Park, are you coming from school? --아니오 식당, 에서 옵니다. -- No, I'm coming back from the restaurant.

Chapter 4

Expressing Action(s) at a Location

에The postposition has a meaning similar to the English words in, at, on, and (most recently) to, 에서and that the marker has a meaning similar to the English word from. 에서 is used to identify the location at which an action takes place. When the phrase

에expresses existence, is attached to the location. However, when the phraseexpresses the location of an event or action (as opposed to existence), the location

에서takes , as shown in the examples below. --그 식당이 어디에 있습니까? --Where is the restaurant? --명동에 있습니다. --It's in Myungdong. --박선생님 고향, 에 산이 많아요? --Mr. Park, are there many mountains in your hometown? --아니오 없어요, . --No, there aren't any. --김선생님 누나가 어디에서 일하세요? --Where does your sister work, Mr. Kim? --호텔에서 일합니다. --She works at a hotel. --왜 여기서 공부해요? --Why are you studying here? --동생이 제 방에서 텔레비전 --My brother's watching TV in my 봅니다. room.

Chapter 4

Describing Things and People: I

Page 16: Grammar Korean

English uses adjectives to describe qualities or attributes, and adjectives are used in sentences in two different ways: as predicate adjectives and as attributive adjectives. A predicate adjective is used with a linking verb, e.g., is. Mr. Hwang's house is blue. Mr. Hwang's house is small. Attributive adjectives are used in all other situations and precede the noun they modify. Mr. Hwang has a blue house. Mr. Hwang has a small house. In contrast to English, Korean uses verbs, or more precisely stative verbs, to express the state of being or qualities of a person or thing. In meaning, a stative verb can be loosely rendered as (to) be 크다_______. For example: be big an 좋다d be good/nice. While English adjectives do not change form, whether they are used as predicate adjectives or attributive adjectives, in Korean different endings are added to stative verbs according to how they are used in a sentence. When they come at the end of the sentence, which is roughly equivalent to the predicate use in English, they conjugate as verbs. • 박선생님 차가 큽니다. Mr. Park's car is big. • 박선생님 차가 좋습니´ Ù. Mr. Park's car is nice. • 박선생님 차가 빨갛습니다. Mr. Park's car is red. When a stative verb precedes a noun, an attributive form is derived from the verb

으 ㄴstem. This is done by adding ( ) to the verb stem. • 박선생님은 큰 차가 있습니다. Mr. Park has a big car. • 그분은 좋은좋은좋은좋은 차가 있습니다. He has a nice car. • 그분은 빨간빨간빨간빨간 차가 있습니다. He has a red car.

stative verb stem + 으 ㄴ( ) + noun

When the verb stem ends in a vowel,

ㄴadd .

크다 (big) 크 ㄴ+ � 큰

When the verb stem ends in a consonant,

은add .

좋다 (good/nice) 좋 은+ � 좋은

Page 17: Grammar Korean

Notes:

ㅎ1. Stative verbs for colors drop and add L to the stem in the attributive form. Example: 빨갛다 (red) 빨갛 빨가 ㄴ 빨간+ ㅎdrop " " ㄴadd " " as if the stem ends with a vowel 2. In the same fashion, dictionary form attributive form 노랗다 (yellow) � 노란 파랗다 (blue) � 파란 하얗다 (white) � 하얀 까맣다 (black) � 까만

요A quick glance at these verbs reveals that they all contain the informal ending, . However, if you think about the dictionary forms of these verbs, their changes are slightly different from each other. The most distinguishing rule of all these changes is

아요 ㅗ ㅏthat is added to a verb stem whose last vowel is or .

아 어요아 어요아 어요아 어요verb stem + /

When the last syllable of the verb stem contains the vowel ㅗ ㅏor ,

아요add .

좋다 (good/nice) 좋 아요+ � 좋아요

When the last syllable of the verb stem contains a vowel

ㅗ ㅏother than or ,

어요add .

적다 (few) 적 어요+ � 적어요

Notes: In addition to this rule, however, more phonetic changes occur when the verb stem ends in a vowel. Look at these examples one-by-one. 1. 가다 (go) 가 아요+ � 가요 When the stem ends with the same vowel as the following vowel, one is dropped. 2. 오다 (come) 오 아요+ � 와요 When the vowels can be contracted, they become one syllable. 3. 크다 (big) 크 어요+ � 커요 ㅡWhen the stem ends with the vowel , ㅡ is dropped. 4. 하다 (do) 하 아요+ � 해요 하다 is the only verb among the verbs ㅏwhose stems end with the vowel that behaves in this fashion. All -하다 verbs take the same changes, e.g., 공부하다 (study) 공부하 아요+ � 공부해요. 5. 이다 (be) 이 어요+ � 이 에요( ) 이다 is the only verb that behaves this way. When the preceding noun ends 이with a vowel, is dropped. E.g., 바다 이에요+ � 바다에요 6. When you add the honorific infix - 으 시( ) -, the endings are all the same.

When a noun ends in a consonant,

이 아니다add . 홍선생 님 이 아니다+ � 홍선생님이 아닙니다 (formal) � 홍선생님이 아니에요 (informal)

에Another function of indicates the time at which something takes place. When에added to a noun or a noun phrase, may also denote a point or period of time at

which an action takes place, and may be translated as in, at, or on. You can draw a comparison to the English use of at when talking about hours of the day (at three o'clock), on with days of the week (on Monday), and in when referring to parts of a day, a month, or a year (in the morning; in March; in 1947). Miss Lee's new aerobics instructor helps her establish a daily training regimen. --미스리 보통 몇시, 에 저녁을 --At what time do you usually 잡수십니까? eat dinner, Miss Lee?

-- 시6 에 먹습니다. --I eat at 6:00.

Expressing Negation In Korean, there are several ways to express negation.

affirmative negative

identification 미스박은 간호사입니다. 미스양은 간호사가 아닙니다.

existence 지금 미스박이 여기에있습니다.

지금 미스박이 여기에 없습니다.

안Another way to negate verbs is by preceding them with . Using this negative form

is similar to adding the word not 안in front of an English verb. is most often used with계시다action verbs and the verb of existence in its honorific form, .

Note: 예 아니오The usage of and in response to negative questions is aninter 안 갑니까esting phenomenon. When asking a negative question such as ?

예("Aren't you going?"), the answer will be ("Yes.") to express, "No, I'm not."아니오and ("No.") to express, "On the contrary, I am going."

SGT Han and a friend discuss their individual study habits. --저는 집에서 공부 안 해요. --I don't study at home. How about

한병장은 어때요? you, Sergeant Han? --저도 집에서 공부 안 해요. --I don't study at home, either. --그럼 도서관에는 자주 갑니까, ? --Well, do you go to the library often? --아니오 잘, 안 갑니다. --No, I don't.

안 is placed before most verbs, as shown in the previous examples. This is not so,

하다 안 하다however, with " " verbs. In this case, is placed in front of , as in the하다examples; however, the stem portion preceding is written separately, and may

function as an object. --식당에서 자주 식사하십니까? --Do you often eat at the restaurant? --아니오 자주, 안 합니다. --No, not often.

Page 24: Grammar Korean

Note: 하다" " verbs are made by combining nouns and the v 하다erb stem, . This is auseful process to keep in mind because many nouns, especially those of Chinese

하다origin, may be verbalized simply by adding . Likewise, a noun can often be하다 공부하다derived by removing . For example, - (to) study, 공부 - study

Expressing And and Together (With) A. Linking nouns to express and

In English, the word and is used to connect two or more nouns in a series, e.g., "I like chicken and 하고 과 와 이 랑turkey." In Korean, the markers , / , and ( ) functionsimilarly to and 하고 과 와 이 랑. , / , and ( ) are attached to all but the final noun in theseries. All are used interchangeably without any difference in meaning.

Note: 하고 이 랑 과 와 이 랑and ( ) are widely used in speech; / and ( ) are the과 와most colloquial forms, while or are more commonly used in composition.

과If the preceding syllable ends in a consonant, use . If the syllable ends in a와vowel, use .

In this description of PFC Adams's dorm room, notice that the markers are somewhat interchangeable, all accommodating the same basic function, and. 아담스 방에는 텔레비전하고 컴퓨터가 There's a TV and a computer in 있습니다 그 옆에는 시계. 와 사전이 Adams's room. Next to them are a 있습니다 책상위에는 연필. 이랑, clock and a dictionary. On the desk, 지도랑 책이 있습니다, . there are pencils and a map, and also a book.

When a noun ends in a vowel,

와add .

언니와 오빠가 백화점에 가요.

When a noun ends in a consonant,

add 이¶û.

남동생이랑 여동생이 백화점에 가요.

When a noun ends in a vowel,

랑add .

언니랑 오빠가 백화점에 가요.

Note: 하고 과 와 이 랑, / , and ( ) are used only to connect two or more nouns. Theyare not used to connect phrases, clauses or complete sentences. To connect

그리고two sentences, start the second with the conjunction , which implies and, then, or also.

Chapter 7

B. Doing things together (with) Expressing the English terms along with or together is straightforward in Korean.

같이Either or 함께 하고 과 와 이 랑is placed after either , / , or ( ) . The two nouns linked하고 과 와 이 랑 같이by , / , and ( ) are understood to perform the same action together.

함께is used more often in speech, while is used more often in writing.

하고 noun + 과 와 같이/ +

이 랑( )

=

하고 noun + 과 와 함께/ +

이 랑( ) Because 같이같이같이같이 and 함께함께함께함께 are interchangeable, the two formulas above have the same meaning. 같이 함께or may sometimes be dropped, just as together is dropped in English without a change in meaning. The following examples illustrate this point.

Page 26: Grammar Korean

Mr. Hwang asks Ms. Oh about her weekend. --미스오 주말에 뭐 합니까, ? --Ms. Oh, what are you going to do over the weekend? --우리 가족이랑 같이 등산갑니다. --I'm going hiking (together) with my 황선생님도 우리와 함께 family. Would you like to go with us, 가시겠습니까? Mr. Hwang? --¹潔훌爛求 안 되겠어요Ù. . --Sorry, I can't.

Linguistic Note: As a general rule, a final consonant in a Korean syllable transfers to the next syllable of a word when the second syllable begins with a vowel. For example:

같은 가튼is pronounced 같을 가틀is pronounced

ㅌ 이There are some exceptions to this rule, however. When is followed by , the

치resulting sound is .

같이 가치is pronounced

Chapter 7

Choosing Between Two Options In English, the word or is often used to give an option between two things or activities, e.g., "Do you want to go to the beach or to the movies?" In Korean, two such questions are asked in succession without any connecting word. Two colleagues discuss family matters. --이번 주말에 캠핑갑시다. --Let's go camping this weekend. --좋아요 그런데. , --All right. By the way, would you like 산이 좋아요 바다가 좋아요, ? to go to the mountains or the beach? --¹ 갑시다¡ . --Let's go to the beach.

question 1, question 2?

Page 27: Grammar Korean

Usage Note: Intonation is an important factor when posing two questions in this manner. The tone of voice rises sharply at the end of the first question and is followed immediately by a falling intonation in the second question.

산이 좋아요, � 바다가 좋아요? �

갑니까, � 안 갑니까? �

The infix -겠- is inserted between the verb stem (or the stem plus the honorific infix) and the verb ending when the speaker states his/her intention or asks the intention of the listener. The English equivalents are: "I'd like to...," "I'm going to...," "I'll...," etc.

verb stem + 으 시 겠 습니다 습니까 어요(( ) ) + + / /

Page 28: Grammar Korean

Sometimes -겠- is used to denote future tense. For example, when a weather

내일 날씨가 좋forecaster says, ° 윱求Ù, it has nothing to do with one's intention butmerely means "Tomorrow's weather will be good."

Note: 좋겠습니다 내일 날씨가 좋겠습니다When Koreans say as in ,ㅎ 좋 ㄱ 겠the in influences the following consonant, , in and,

ㄱ ㅋ ㄴ 니consequently, sounds like . The in influences the precedingㅂ 습 ㅂ ㅁconsonant, , as in , and, therefore, sounds like . Thus, the

How to Express Contrast Devices that change the subject, express a contrast, or add special emphasis vary from language to language. English uses certain words and phrases such as "so," or "and now," as well as shifts in intonation, or word stress.

• So, Mr. Park, what are you doing this weekend? (As distinct from the previous person who spoke.) • Tomorrow the weather will be good. (In contrast to today, when it rained.) • In Los Angeles, the morning traffic is very heavy. In contrast to Monterey, which is a small city.) • And now for something completely different. (Monty Python)

은 는Korean uses the suffix / for these same purposes. In the examples in thischapter, it is added to nouns and time expressions. It may, however, be added to many parts of speech.

How about you, Mr. Choi? --저는 놀았습니다. --I relaxed and watched TV. 텔레비전을 봤습니다.

The past tense in Korean is expressed by inserting the infix - 았 었/ - between the

ㅏ ㅗverb stem and the verb ending. If the preceding syllable contains the vowel or ,-았- is inserted; otherwise, -었- is inserted.

verb stem + 시( ) 았았았았+ /었 습니다었 습니다었 습니다었 습니다+ /어요어요어요어요/습니까습니까습니까습니까?

When the last syllable of a verb ste ㅗm contains

ㅏor ,

았insert .

놀다 (play/relax) 놀 았 습니다+ + � 놀았습니다

Otherwise,

었insert .

읽다 (read) 읽 었 습니다+ + � 읽었습니다

In addition to this rule, however, more phonetic changes occur when the verb stem ends in a vowel. Look at the following examples, one by one. 1. 가다 (go) 가 았 습니다+ + When the stem ends in the same vowel as � 갔습니다 the following vowel, one is dropped. 2. 보다 (see/watch) 보 았+ + 습니다 When the vowels can be contracted, they � 봤습니다 become one syllable. 3. 크다 (big) 크 었 습니다+ + ㅡWhen the stem ends in , � 컸습니다 ㅡ is dropped. 4. 하다 (do) is an irregular verb: 하 았 습니다+ + 하다 is the only verb among the verbs � 했습니다 ㅏwhose stems end in that behaves in this fashion. All -하다 verbs take the same changes, e.g., 운동하다 (exercise) 운동하 았 습니다+ + � 운동했습니다 When you add the honorific marker - 으 시( ) -, the endings are all the same. 좋 으시 었 습니다+ + + � 좋으셨습니다 읽 으시 었 습니다+ + + � 읽으셨습니다 가 시 었 습니다+ + + � 가셨습니다 보 시 었 습니다+ + + � 보셨습니다 운동하 시 었 습니다+ + + � 운동하셨습니다

Describing Things and People: II Korean stative verbs behave differently from English adjectives in that the Korean has two forms: predicate and attributive. The attributive form of a stative verb is used to describe people and things by modifying the noun it precedes. Recall that attributive

으 ㄴforms are derived from stative verbs by adding ( ) to the verb stem.

Page 34: Grammar Korean

박선생님 차가 큽니다. (predicate adjective)

저 큰 차는 박선생님 차입니다. (attributive adjective or noun modifier)

There are several classifications of stative verbs that require additional steps to make attributive forms.

ㄹ ㄹ ㄴ1. To make the attributive form from a verb ending in , simply drop and add .

Sometimes a Korean verb and its English counterpart do not have the same grammatical requirements, as in the case of this feature. For example, in English, an indirect object is the person who is indirectly affected by the action indicated by the verb, and usually answers the question to whom? or for whom? A B • Michelle asked the teacher (her) a • Michelle asked a question to the question. teacher (to her). • Alex gave Stacey and Natalie (them) a • Alex gave a tennis lesson to Stacey tennis lesson. and Natalie (to them). In both columns A and B, the underlined nouns and pronouns function as indirect objects of the verbs. The difference between the two sets is only on the surface, and is a question of English word order, i.e., the placement of the direct object within the sentence. This concept in English is helpful in acquiring an accurate application of this grammar feature in Korean, because the Korean equivalents--한테 에게and --always appear in a sentence.

Expressing a Series of Actions or Qualities Mr. Han asks Mr. Park about his store. --박선생님 가게를 언제 열, 고고고고 --Mr. Park, when do you open and close 닫습니까? the store?

--그런데 가게가 크, 고고고고 밝고고고고 --By the way, the store is big, bright, and 좋습니다. nice.

--뭘요. --Thank you. In English, when you want to connect two clauses or words in a series, connecting words such as "and" are used. Since Korean sentences and clauses end with a verb, the verb of the first clause takes a connective ending, -고, before the secondclause begins. This ending is generally translatable into English as ...and, as in enumerating a series of actions, conditions, qualities, etc.

한국말은 (Linguistic Note): There are two important points to remember when using -고.

Page 39: Grammar Korean

1. When two clauses are connected, tense is nomally expressed in the final 어제는 시에 열고 시에 닫았습니다verb of a sentence. For example, 10 , 6 ,

Yesterday, they opened at 10:00 and closed at 6:00.

2. -고 normally is not used when the verb of the first clause expresses a 가다 오다 앉다movement or posture, e.g., , , , etc. Instead, -서 is used for

sequential 집에 가서 저녁 먹었습니다actions. For example, , I went home and ate dinner.

Making Suggestions Insook and Junho are making plans for the weekend:

Page 40: Grammar Korean

--인숙씨 이번 주말에 산호세에 --Insook, let's go to San Jose this 같이 갑시다갑시다갑시다갑시다 한국 식당에도. weekend. Let's go to a Korean 가고 한국서점에도, 갑시다갑시다갑시다갑시다. restaurant, and a Korean 어때요? bookstore. What do you think?

--아주 좋아요. --Great. --그럼 시에 학교에서10 --Then let's meet at school at 만나십시다만나십시다만나십시다만나십시다. ten o'clock. --네. --OK. Making suggestions, as in the English "Let's...," is accomplished in Korean by adding 으 ㅂ시다( ) to the verb stem. The honorific infix can be inserted to make it polite, as in만나십시다, "Let's meet."

verb stem + 으 시 ㅂ시다(( ) ) +

When a verb stem ends in a vowel,

add ㅂ시다.

가다 가 ㅂ시다+ � 갑시다

When a verb stem ends in a consonant,

add 읍시다.

읽다 읽 읍시다+ � 읽읍시다

For negation -지 맙시다 is used. • 일본 식당에 가지 맙시다. Let's not go to the Japanese restaurant. There is another meaning of this grammar structure, as in the English "Let me...." The difference between these two usages is clear from the situation. A customer points to a book in a bookstore: • 그책 좀 봅시다. Let me look at that book.

한국말은: Although this grammar feature is acceptable when addressing friends, siblings, and subordinates, its use is considered improper when speaking to an elder or a superior. In the latter cases, acceptable protocol may include stating

저 식당에 가요 같이 가시겠습니까your intent (e.g., , . ?), which could beinterpreted more as an invitation.

Expressing the Means of Doing Things Mr. Yoon talks to Jane about his brother's visit. --오늘 공항에 가요. --I'm going to the airport today. --누가 와요? --Is someone coming? --형님이 워싱톤에서 비행기로비행기로비행기로비행기로 --My brother's coming from 와요. Washington by plane.

--공항까지 뭐로뭐로뭐로뭐로 가요? --How are you going to get to the 지하철로지하철로지하철로지하철로 가요? airport? By subway? --아뇨, 제 트럭으로제 트럭으로제 트럭으로제 트럭으로 가겠어요. --No, I'll go in my truck. The postposition - 으 로( ) means to or toward. The same element attached to a noun expresses a means by which something is done. It can roughly be rendered in English as by, with, or in. For example: • 비행기로 가요. I'm going by plane. • 연필로 써요. I'm writing with a pencil. • 한국어를 한국말로 가르쳐요. I'm teaching Korean in Korean.

noun + 으 로( )

When a noun ends in ㄹa vowel or in ,

로add .

비행기 로(plane) + � 비행기로 지하철 로(subway) + � 지하철로

When a noun ends in other consonants,

add 으로.

트럭 으로(truck) + � 트럭으로

Expressing Your Future Intentions Jane invites both Mr. Yoon and his brother to dinner. --오늘 저녁에 형님하고 저희 집에 --Please come to my house this 오세요 제가 저녁을. 준비하지요. evening. I'II make dinner. Come 시까지 오세요6 . by six o'clock.

--네, 그러그러그러그러지요지요지요지요. --OK, we will. Stating one's intentions is accomplished using -겠-. Another verb form frequently used to express the speaker's intention is -지요, which is added to the verb stem.

지요지요지요지요verb stem +

Chapter 14

Eliciting Recommendations: “Shall We...?” One of the basic characteristics of the Korean language is the use of varied verb endings to convey meaning. These indicate, among other things, the intent of the speaker or writer, whether it be to make a statement, a question, a request, or a suggestion.

statement 한국식당에 갑니다 가요/ .

question 한국식당에 갑니까 가요?/ ?

request 한국식당에 가 십 시오( ) 가 세 요/ ( ) .

suggestion 한국식당에 갑시다 가요/ .

Another way of making recommendations is to add - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ? to a verb stem. -으 ㄹ까요( ) ? is equivalent to Shall we...? or Shall I...? in English. It is somewhat less

으 ㅂ시다direct or assertive than "verb stem + ( ) ." - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ? basically functions as a question, as the question mark indicates. Thisform, however, indicates various meanings, as in the following examples: Miss Oh invites Mr. Nam to lunch. --남선생님 우리 점심 식사 같이, --Mr. Nam, shall we have lunch together? 할까요? --좋습니다. --Good idea. --그럼 우리 중국식당, 갈까요? --Well, shall we go to a Chinese restaurant? --중국식당이요 거기는 너무? --Chinese restaurant? It's too far from here. 멀어요. °” 한국식당에 갑시다î . Let's go to the Korean restaurant near here.

Page 43: Grammar Korean

When a sentence subject is "we," - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ? is used to imply the speaker's suggestion of doing something together, as seen above.

Mr. Yang asks Ms. Park about her dining preferences. --미스 박 우리, 뭐 먹을까요? --Ms. Park, what shall we have? --생선찌개 어때요? --How about fish stew? --좋습니다 그럼 음료수는. , --Well, what shall we drink? 뭘로 마실까요? --맥주가 좋겠어요. --Beer would be fine.

The example above illustrates a different function of - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ?: simple inquiry.

무엇 언제 어디When question words such as , , , or ´㈀¸ are involved, - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ?functions as a simple question. Mr. Kang asks Mr. Choi for permission. --제가 음식을 시킬까요? --Shall I order the food? --네 그러세요, . --Please, do so. --맥주도 좀 시킬까요? --Shall I also order beer? --아닙니다 저는 술은 안 합니다. . --No, I don't drink. When a sentence subject is "I," - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ? has another function: asking permission or making a confirmation of a listener's wish.

시Note: If the subject is "we," as in the examples below, may be added to show respect for the listener. • 하 시 ㄹ 까요+ + ? ------- 하실까요> ? (Shall we have...?) • 가 시 ㄹ까요+ + ? ------- 가실까요> ? (Shall we go?)

verb stem + 으 ㄹ까요( ) ?

When a verb stem ends in a consonant,

add

을까요?

먹 을까요+ � 먹을까요?

When a verb stem ends in a vowel,

add

ㄹ까요?

마시 ㄹ 까요+ � 마실까요?

Expressing “Only” 도 is equivalent to the adverb also 만in English. is equivalent to only or just. 도Like ,it is normally placed after nouns or noun phrases. Two friends discuss ordering in a restaurant. --박하사 우리 맥주 시킬까요, ? --Shall we order some beer, Mr. Park? --아닙니다 저는 집에서. 만 --No, I only drink at home. 술을 마십니다.

--그럼 음식, 만 시키세요. --Well, just order some food for yourself. --네 그러죠, . --OK, I think I will.

drop the subject/ object marker and

음식을 만 시키다+ + 을.........drop ..........

음식만 시키세요 When a noun (phrase) has a marker other than a subject/object marker,

either drop or retain the marker and add 만.

Making "Nouns" from Verbs (Gerunds) The following passage is Mr. Adams's account of his experience learning Korean: 저는 요즈음 한국말을 배웁니다. These days, I'm learning Korean. 한국말은 아주 재미À 윱求Ù. Korean is very interesting. By the 그런데, 말하기는 쉽고, 듣기는 좀 way, speaking is easy and listening is 어렵습니다. a little difficult. In the examples above, notice the underlined "-ing" words. In English, words ending in -ing can function both as verbs and nouns.

Page 45: Grammar Korean

As a verb, an "-ing" word is called a present participle and is mostly used with the verb be: "I am learning Korean." When used as a noun (e.g., a subject, an object), the "-ing" word is called a gerund: "Speaking is easy and listening is a little difficult." In this example, the two gerunds are functioning as the subjects of the sentence.

기In Korean, gerunds are formed by attaching to a verb stem. Since the Koreanlanguage recognizes both action and stative verbs, gerunds may both indicate activity (action verbs) or a state of being (stative verbs). This chapter will focus mainly on gerunds formed from action verbs.

기기기기verb stem +

Chapter 14

Pronunciation vs. Written Hangul Hangul spelling does not always correspond to the way words and phrases are pronounced. This is nothing unique to Korean, however. Korean actually has a higher ratio of "what you see is what you get" pronunciation than does English. In this section, you will learn some important features of Korean pronunciation. You need only learn the spelling while remembering the keys to proper pronunciation. The following examples in context focus on this phenomenon. Read them aloud as you go along.

Chapter 14

A. Consonant shifting Normally, when pronouncing the combination of two syllables--a syllable ending in a consonant followed by a syllable beginning in a vowel--the result sounds as if the consonant at the end of the first syllable were shifted to the beginning of the second. For example: --어디 가십니까? --Where are you going? --음식점에 갑니다. --I'm off to the restaurant. You will notice that the underlined phrase above is pronounced as if it were written 음식저메. Here is another example of the same phenomenon. --이쪽으로 앉으세요. --Please sit over here. --감사합니다. --Thank you. This underlined phrase is pronounced as if it were written 안즈세요.

Page 46: Grammar Korean

Chapter 14

B. ㅎㅎㅎㅎThe consonant

ㅎNormally, is not pronounced when placed between two vowels. --오늘 어때요? --How are you today? --아주 좋아요. --I'm feeling great. Notice that the underlined portion is pronounced as if spelled 조아요.

ㄱ ㄷ ㅂ ㅈ ㅎWhen , , , and are preceded or followed by , they become strongly ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅊaspirated, as are the consonants , , , and .

--백화점에 어떻게 갑니까? --How do I get to the department store? --이리 곧장 가세요. --Go straight down this way.

백화점Notice that is pronounced as if spelled 배콰점 어떻게, as if spelled 어떠케.

ㅎ ㅅA similar phenomenon occurs when is preceded by . The resulting combinationㅌis pronounced as .

--이번주말에 시내구경할까요? --Shall we see the sights downtown this weekend? --아니오 나는. 못 합니다. --No, I can't (can't go). The underlined portion of the response sounds as if written 모 탑니다.

Chapter 14

C. 같이같이같이같이The pronunciation of ㅌ 이 ㅊ 치before is pronounced like . The resulting pronunciation is . --같이 갈까요? --Shall we go together? --네 그러지요, . --Yes, let's do that. The first speaker's question sounds like 가치 갈까요?

Chapter 14

D. ㄹㄹㄹㄹThe peculiar case of

Page 47: Grammar Korean

ㄹAt the end of a syllable, is pronounced like the English "l," as in "nail."

--내일 뭐 합니까? --What are you doing tomorrow? --매일 공부합니다. --I study every day. ㄹ is pronounced like "r" when followed by a vowel (and is shifted to the next syllable). --서울은 어때요? --How about Seoul? --아주 좋아요. --It's great. The underlined portion is pronounced as if it were written 서우른. ㄹ ㄴis pronounced like when preceded by another consonant (other than anotherㄹ ㄴor ). --뭐 마시겠습니까? --What will you have to drink, sir? --음료수를 마시겠습니다. --I'd like a soda. In th 음료수e response, is pronounced as if it were spelled 음뇨수. ㄹ ㄴ ㄹ ㄴ ㄴ ㄹand in combination ( + or + ) are pronounced much the same as theEnglish "ll" combination in words such as "willing." --내일 저한테 연락하세요. --Please contact me tomorrow. --그러지요. --But of course.

연락Thus, is pronounced 열락.

Chapter 15

Expanded Use of Attributive Verb Forms Stative verbs are not limited to the predicate of a given sentence and that their attributive forms perform a function similar to that of English adjectives. The following sentences illustrate this concept. 저 가게는 물건이 아주 쌉니다. The items are very inexpensive in that store. predicate predicate 거기는 싼 물건이 많습니다. There are many inexpensive items in that store. attributive attributive

When a stative or an action verb takes one of its attributive forms, it is very often part of a clause--a group of words containing a subject and a verb. A clause may be of two general types: 1) an independent or main clause, which can stand alone as a

Page 48: Grammar Korean

sentence, and 2) a dependent clause, which cannot stand alone. Korean verbs in their attributive forms are often part of dependent clauses that serve much the same function as the English relative clause.

Chapter 15

Anticipated Actions The attributive ending, - 으 ㄹ( ) implies an expected or anticipated action. Look at the following examples of its use. --오상병 내일 동양 박물관에 갑시다, . --Corporal Oh, let's go to the Asian museum tomorrow. --내일은 안돼요. 할 일이 많아요. --I can't go tomorrow. I have a lot 그리고 우리 집에 누가 오십니다. of things to do. Also, I have someone coming over. --내일 오실 분이 누구십니까? --Who's the person coming 우리 모두 같이 갑시다. tomorrow? Let's all go together.

--아 좋습니다 거기는, . 볼 것이 많아요. --Good idea. There's a lot to see. Note: In the sentences above, the underlined portions could easily be reworded to create a "visible" clause in English. For example, "Who is the person coming tomorrow?" could be made to read "Who is the person who is coming tomorrow?"

으 ㄹEnglish equivalents of "verb stem + ( ) " is often given as to do, to go, to eat, etc.; however, while Korean sentences have the same consistent pattern, as in the following example, English translations may vary.

• 할 것 할 일and = Something... ...to do ...to be done ...that one must do ...expected to be done

한국말은: An attributive form in Korean must always precede the noun modified.

• 학교에서 배울 것이 많아요. There are many things to learn in school. attributive + noun noun + attributive

• 갈 사람이 많이 있어요? Are there many people who are going? attributive + noun noun + attributive

Expressing a Sequence of Actions 고 is used to join clauses, as in the following. --형님은 지금 뭐 하세요? --What does your brother do now? --대학을 졸업하고 지금 --My brother graduated from college 회사에서 일합니다. and now works for a firm

아 어 서( / ) (and; and then) is used to link two clauses that share the same subject and are sequential, e.g., a movement or motion expressed in the first clause occurs before the action expressed in the second.

Page 50: Grammar Korean

The following is a description of E-4 Parker's morning routine. 파커상병은 매일 아침 시에5 일어나서 Every morning at 5:00 a.m. 커피를 마시고 시 분에 체육관에5 30 E-4 Parker gets up and has some 갑니다 시 반 쯤에는 기숙사에. 6 coffee.

가다Movement, motion, and posture are expressed in a clause with verbs such as ,go 오다, , come 일어나다, , rise 돌다, or , turn, which occur prior to the action expressed in the subsequent clause. Note: 고 어서(and not ) is used to connect clauses that contain different subjectswhen a sequence of actions is not implied. 나는 박물관에 가고, I went to the museum and 그분은 화랑에 갔습니다. he went to the gallery.

Counting Objects Using "Counters" Note the following counters:

한 명 분/ one person 한 잔한 잔한 잔한 잔 a cup of 한 병 a bottle of 한 살 one year old

For counting some objects, Korean speakers often use counters after the number. In this chapter you will see three commonly used counter 개 대 장words: , , and .Changes occur in the pronunciation of some numbers when counters are used.

하나 둘 셋 넷The first four numbers, , , , and , lose their final sounds when placed하나 둘 셋 넷 한 두 세 네before a counter. , , , and are pronounced , , , and .

number in isolation number + counter 하나 � 차 한 대+ (1 car) 둘 � 차 두 대+ (2 cars) 셋 � 차 세 대+ (3 cars) 넷 � 차 네 대+ (4 cars)

A customer and a proprietor talk in a fruit market. --이 사과 얼마입니까? --How much are these apples? --한 개 원입니다1000 . --They are 1000 won each. --그럼 이거 열 개만 주세요. --Give me 10. --네 여기 있습니다, . --Here you are. When you use a number-counter phrase with a noun, the proper sequence is:

noun + number + counter

대Another counter, , is used when counting modes of transportation (cars, trucks,planes) and many different electronic items (TVs, cameras, telephones, computers,

장etc.). is used in counting tickets and (sheets of) papers. Kisoo talks about preparations for her class outing. 어제 우리반 학생 열열열열 명명명명이 Yesterday ten of our classmates went 샌프란시스코에 갔습니다. to San Francisco. We went there in 자동차 두두두두 대대대대로 갔습니다. two cars.

--그래요 그럼 한 번 같이 갈까요? ? --Really? Then, shall we go together? --네 그러죠, . --OK, let's do that.

아 어 보다In Korean, adding / to an action verb stem serves to express two differentconcepts, depending on the context. One is that of trying something (to see how it turns out or to see if it can be done). The other is that of having experienced a

아 어 보다particular activity in the past. / is frequently used as a function of etiquette inimperative sentences because it implies that the listener has the option to refuse the speaker's suggestion. All verb infixes you have learned to this point may be used with

겠 시 았 었this structure (e.g., , , / ), both in statements and in questions.

아 어 보다아 어 보다아 어 보다아 어 보다action verb stem + /

--그래요 재미있었습니까? ? --Oh, really? Was it fun? --네 여기 저기 많이, --Yes, I visited so many places. 돌아 다녔어요. In English, verb phrases such as "come in," "go out," and "walk around" express movement with a destination or direction, and in, out, and around indicate the

오다 가다 다니다direction of the movement. In Korean, verbs such as , , or are added

Page 54: Grammar Korean

to other verbs to indicate the direction of movement. As you saw in Chapter 11 with 이민오다, immigrate 이민and 가다, emigrate 오다 가다, and indicate direction inrelation to the speaker's location: When the action or movement is toward the

오다 가다speaker, is used; when the action or movement is away from the speaker,is used. Note these examples.

Extended Use of Attributive Verb Forms: II

으 ㄹThe attributive ending ( ) indicates an expected or pending action.

• 오늘 할 일은 이겁니다. These are the things to do for today.

Another attributive end 으 ㄴing, ( ) , implies a completed action.

Minsoo and Jinhwa are talking about a Korean restaurant. --지난 토요일에 간 한국 음식점 --How was the Korean restaurant you 어때요? went to last Saturday?

--괜찮았어요. --It was OK. --거기 뭐가 맛있어요? --What do they have that's good?

Expressing Comparison

Page 57: Grammar Korean

In English, there are several ways to make comparative adjectives: by adding -er to an adjective, as in tall-taller; by placing more before an adjective as in more beautiful; or by using a different word, as in good-better, bad-worse.

더In Korean, these comparative expressions are uniformly made by placing , more, before an adjective or adverb. --불고기 좀 더 갖다드릴까요? --Shall I bring some more bulgoki? --네, 더 갖다주세요. --Yes, please bring some more.

When comparing two or more things or people, the item used as the basis of the contrast takes -보다, which functions similarly to the English word than. Two people discuss their color preferences. --이 곤색 양복 색깔이 어때요? --How does this navy blue suit strike you? --괜찮아요 그런데 박 선생님. , --It's fine, but gray is more becoming

한테는 회색이 곤색보다 더 잘 on you than navy blue. 맞아요.

--그래요 저는 어두운 색깔을? --Really? I like the dark colors more 밝은 색깔보다 더 좋아해요. than the bright ones.

Note that -보다 is attached to the person or object compared; thus, the order of thetwo nouns compared has no effect on meaning. The word order of the two compared nouns is reversed in the following sentences and conveys the same meaning as the example above. • 박선생한테는 곤색보다 회색이 Gray is more becoming on you than 더 잘 맞아요. navy blue. • 밝은 색깔보다 어두운 색깔을 I like dark colors more than bright 더 좋아해요. ones. Note: 1. When compared objects are understood in the context, the compared nouns and -보다 are frequently omitted. --어느 치마가 더 예쁩니까? --Which skirt is prettier? --저는 이 회색 치마가 더 예뻐요. --I believe this gray skirt is prettier.

더2. is often omitted in colloquial speeches. • 우리 언니가 저보다 더 날씬해요( ) . My sister is thinner than I.

Page 58: Grammar Korean

• 미시시피강이 한강보다 더 깁니다( ) . The Mississippi River is longer than the Han River.

한국말은: 보다 may also serve as an equivalent to terms such as rather than or instead of in English, especially when one action is chosen or preferred over another. • 내일은 잠바보다 양복을 입읍시다. Let's wear suits rather than windbreakers tomorrow. • 구두보다 운동화를 신읍시다. Let's wear sneakers instead of street shoes.

Expressing Superlatives 제일 means first, number one, or most. --이 소령님 무슨 색깔을, 제일 --Major Lee, what color do you like 좋아하십니까? most?

--저는 주황색을 제일 좋아해요. --I like orange best.

제일As the example above shows, is used to express superlatives. When three ormore items are compared, the superlative expresses the "the greatest degree." Note the following examples of the superlative in English: tall taller (the) tallest beautiful more beautiful (the) most beautiful good better (the) best

Page 59: Grammar Korean

The following passage about different types of cars illustrates the superlative as well as comparative expressions in Korean. 벤츠가 토요다보다 더 비싸요. Benzes are more expensive than 그리고 토요다보다 렉서스가 더 비싸요. Toyotas. And Toyotas are more 그중에서 벤츠가 제일 비싸요. expensive than Lexuses. Among these, Benzes are (the) most expensive. Note: 중에서, among 제일 가장, is often used in conjunction with / . When the compared

중에서items are understood from context, , along with the items, can be omitted, asin the following example. Naturally, a superlative accompanies -에서 to illustrate where an item is the greatest. The following passage describes a shoe store. 아담스씨는 양화점 주인입니다. Mr. Adams owns a shoe store. His 아담스씨의 양화점은 이 동네에서 shoe store is the largest in this town. 제일 큽니다 그리고 구두도. 제일 잘 And theirs are the best-made shoes. 만듭니다.

Expressing an Action in Progress Expressing an ongoing action, or one which otherwise is in progress, is accomplished in English through the use of the present progressive, the construction of which may be expressed as "is + verb + ing" (e.g., Chester is eating his lunch. I am washing my car. Myrtle and Reba are playing with their sister, Lulu.). The equivalent meaning in

고 있다Korean is achieved by adding to an action verb stem.

고 있다고 있다고 있다고 있다action verb stem +

Two people are talking on the phone. --미스장 지금, 뭐하고 있어요? --Miss Chang, what are you doing? --저 빵 만들고 있어요 우리집에. --I'm baking bread. Come on over. 놀러오세요.

--좋아요 그런데. Á 제가 전화Ý --Good idea. By the way, I'm waiting 기다리고 있어요 전화받고 곧. for a call. I'll go over as soon as I'm

Page 60: Grammar Korean

가겠어요. done on the phone. To express a past 았 었 있다action in progress, / is added to . This is illustrated in thefollowing example, where Miss Ko is entertaining several house guests. --미스고 왜 빨리 안 오세요, ? --Miss Ko, what's keeping you? 모두 기다리고 있어요. We're all waiting for you in here.

--미안합니다 부엌에서 디저트. --Sorry, I was preparing dessert in the 좀 준비하고 있었어요. kitchen.

Seeking Agreement the ending -지요 is used to show intention.

--이 일을 누가 하시겠습니까? --Who's going to do this? --제가 하지요. --I'll do it.

Another function of -지요 is to solicit the listener's agreement, similar to the wayEnglish speakers use "tag questions," such as "Don't you?" "Isn't he?" etc. ("You're going to class, aren't you?"). In Korean simply add -지요 to the stem of the main(final) verb. A rising tone of voice (-지요 � ) at the end of the sentence provides a clue to the listener that the speaker expects a response. Ms. Shin and Mr. Han have a conversation in their office. --한선생님은 어두운 --Mr. Han, you like dark colors 색깔을 좋아하시지요? don't you?

--아니오 저는 밝은 색을 좋아해요, . --No, I like bright colors. You often 미스신도 밝은 색을 자주 입지요? wear bright-colored clothes, don't

you?

Page 61: Grammar Korean

--네 밝은 색 중에서도 주황색을, --Yes, and among bright colors, I like 제일 좋아합니다. orange the most.

한국말은: -지요 has another function: it is also used to express suggestions. --회의 시간이 됐어요 빨리. 가시지요 --It's time for the meeting. We'd better get going. --벌써 그렇게 됐어요? --Is it that time already? --참 노트하고 연필도, 가지고 --Say, let's take some pads 가시지요. and pencils, too.

Extended Use of Attributive Verb Forms: III The attributive ending - 으 ㄹ( ) implies an expected or pending action and/orcondition. • 이 부근에는 별로 갈 데가 없어요. There's no place to go around here. The attributive ending - 으 ㄴ( ) indicates a completed action or condition. • 지난 주말에 간 식당은 너무 멀어요. The restaurant that I went to last weekend is too far away.

The attributive ending -는 implies an ongoing or habitual action.

는는는는action verb stem +

Yoon-hi and Kisu are talking at the post office.

Page 62: Grammar Korean

--윤희 씨 이리 오세요 우리도, . --Yoon-hi, come here. Let's stand 줄을 섭시다. in line.

--네 그런데 오늘. , 기다리는 --OK. You know, there certainly is a 사람이 많군요! crowd of people waiting today.

--다음 일요일이 어버이날입니다. --Next Sunday's Parents' Day. So, 그래서 한국에 소포를 부치는 there are a lot of people mailing 사람들도 많고, 편지를 보내는 parcels and sending letters to Korea. 사람들도 많아요.

--아 그렇군요 그런데 기수씨! . , --Oh, that's right. By the way, did you 어머니한테 카드 보냈어요? send a card to your mother?

--네 어제 보냈어요, . --Yes, I sent one yesterday. As illustrated in the English version of the conversation, the phrases "people waiting" and "people mailing parcels and sending letters" are used in place of the relative clauses "People who are waiting." "People who are mailing parcels." and "People who are sending letters." And as you have learned in previous chapters, the Korean attributive serves much the same function as the English relative clause. Note: 있다 없다/ may also take this attributive form to identify the location/absence of anoun. A customer and a clerk discuss items in a store. --저기 하얀 블라우스 옆에 있는 것 --What's that next to the white 뭐에요 색깔이 아주 예쁜데요? ! blouse? The color is really pretty!

--저거요 스카프에요? . --What, that? It's a scarf. --그럼 양말도 있어요 그리고, ? --Fine. Do you carry socks? And 여자 핸드백도 있습니까? do you carry handbags?

--네 이쪽으로 오세요 여기, . --Yes, come this way. We have 다 있어요 우리 가게에는. everything. There's nothing our

없는 것이 없어요. store doesn't have.

한국말은: The following is a summary of the past, present, and future attributive forms. 요즈음 파마하는 사람이 Nowdays, there aren't many people 별로 없어요. getting perms.

Page 63: Grammar Korean

저기가 지난 번에 제가 파마한 That's the beauty parlor where I 미장원이에요. got my perm the other day. 요즈음은 파마할 돈도 없어요. These days, I don't even have the money to get a perm.

Expressing Obligation There are several ways to express obligation or necessity in Korean. One of the most

아 어야 하다 아 어야 되다common ways is the use of / or / . These may be combinedwith any verb to indicate that one "must" or "has to" do something.

Page 64: Grammar Korean

Mr. Kang and Ms. Oh discuss going to the bank. --강선생님 지금 돈 있으면 좀 빌려, --Mr. Kang, could you lend me some 주세요. money, if you have any?

--아뇨 없어요 지금 저 은행에, . --No, I don't. I have to go to the bank 가야 돼요. now. --지금 시 분이에요 아직 은행문 안8 30 . --It's 8:30 now. Banks are not open 열었어요 조금 더. 기다려야 해요. yet. You'll have to wait a bit longer.

--그래요 그럼 분만 여기서? 30 --Really? Well, I'll just wait here 기다리겠어요. another 30 minutes.

Note:

아 어야겠다In conversation, another variant form for obligation is frequently used: / . This form indicates "will (probably) have to..." --지금 우체국에 가야겠어요. --Guess I'll have to go to the post office now. --지금 가지 마세요 우리. --Don't go right now. We really 일을 빨리 끝내야겠어요. should resolve this matter quickly.

Stating Conditional Actions Two friends are talking about over-the-counter medicines. --재우씨 머리, 아프면 보통 --Jaewoo, when you have a headache, 무슨 약 먹어요? what kind of medicine do you take?

--저요 저는요 아스피린을? , --Me? I take an aspirin. 먹어요.

--그 약을 먹으면 금방 나아요? --If you take it, do you feel better immediately? --그럼요. 먹고 분만10 있으면 --Sure. When I take it, I'm as good as new 다 낫습니다. within ten minutes. (Lit. When I take it

and wait for ten minutes,) A conditional statement is one where a specific action is dependent upon another. To express this, one generally begins a dependent clause with "if" or "when," followed by a main clause which implies the result of the condition, as in the examples above. In

으 면Korean, "verb stem + ( ) " in a dependent clause, followed by a main clause, isused for this expression.

Can 두 시간을 기다리시겠어요? you wait for two hours?

--아뇨 시에 다시 오죠, 11 . --No, I'll come back at 11:00. Although the most common English counterpart for expressing the purpose of an action is the form "to (do...)," the Korean equivalent that expresses the purpose for coming and going is restricted to cases where the sentence- 가다 오다final verb is , ,다니다, or any other verb expressing a similar movement.

Expressing "None" or "Nothing" A Korean customs official asks about luggage contents:

Page 67: Grammar Korean

--비싼 약이나 화장품 같은 거 --Do you have any expensive medicine 있습니까? or make-up?

--아뇨, 아무 것도 없습니다. --No, I don't have anything. (The customs official looks through the suitcase.) --이건 뭡니까? --What is this? --그거요? 아무 것도 아니에요. --You mean that? It's nothing. It's 제 감기약입니다. my cold medicine.

--외화는 없습니까? --Don't you have any foreign currency? --네, 하나도 없습니다. --No, I don't have any. --됐습니다 안녕히 가십시오. . --OK. Good-bye. To express I don't have any/There isn't any 아무 도 없다, " + noun + + " or "noun +하나 한/ (counter) + 도 없다+ " can be used, as illustrated above. There is a slightdifference in meaning, however, between these two patterns. • 마실 것 있습니까? 1--Do you have something to drink? • 아뇨, 아무 것도 없습니다. 2--No, I don't have anything. • 아뇨, 하나도 없습니다. 2--No, I don't have any. • 콜라가 있습니까? 1--Do you have a cola? • X 아뇨 콜라 아무 것도 없습니다, . 2--X • 아뇨 콜라, 한 병도 없습니다. 2--No, I don't have a single one. (Lit., I don't have even one bottle of cola.)

아무 도아무 도아무 도아무 도+ (noun) + + negative verb

--뭐 하십니까? --What are you doing? --아무 일도 안합니다. --I'm not doing anything. Also note that no noun is used when indicating this kind of negation about people. In other 아무도words, followed by a negative means no one or not anybody.

Asking for personal data (Chapter 1). One can identify personal data such as name, address, status, relationship, etc., with this verb. • 성함이 어떻게 되십니까? What is your name, sir? • 주소가 어떻게 되십니까? What is your address, sir? 2. Expressing a change in status (Chapter 10). The English rendering would be become. • 그분은 의사가 되었습니다. He became a doctor. • 지난 달에 소령이 되었습니다.

Expressing Reasons for... I A. -아 어서/

Page 70: Grammar Korean

"Verb stem + -아 어서/ " is used to connect two clauses having a sequential relationship. The verb in the first clause will express an action or motion, and the final verb (in the second clause) indicates the subsequent action.

• 영희는 아침에 일찍 일어나서, Young-hee gets up early and walks

학교까지 걸어갑니다. to school.

-아 어서/ has another function: to express cause or reason for what is expressed in a following clause. English equivalents include so, since, and because. Just as the term "cause" or "reason" implies, the second action takes place because of the first. It is important to remember that when expressing a cause-efffect relationship in Korean, the cause precedes the effect. 자동차가 너무 비싸서, 못 샀습니다. I couldn't buy that car because it was too expensive. cause effect effect cause An employee explains his tardiness to his employer. --아니 왜 이렇게 늦었어요? --Why are you so late? --길이 막혀서 좀 늦었어요, . --I'm late because the road was blocked. --왜 길이 막혔지요? --Why was the road blocked? --큰 교통사고가 나서 길이 완전히 --The road was completely blocked 막혔어요. because there was a big traffic

accident.

verb stem + 아 어서/

Page 71: Grammar Korean

Note: -아 어서/ does not take -았 었/ -, even though the past is implied. • 작년까지는 시내에서 김포공항 It was very inconvenient until last

까지 가는 지하철이 없어서 아주 year, because there was no subway 불편했습니다. between downtown and Kimpo Airport.

Chapter 22

B. -기 때문에 Another form, -기 때문에, has a similar function as -아 어서/ . English equivalents ofthis form also include so, since, and because. The following passage is about Seoul streets. 서울 시내에는 사람과 자동차가 Seoul is very crowded because 많기 때문에 아주 복잡합니다. there are so many people and cars. 그리고 골목길이 많기 때문에 집 And it is very hard to find someone's 찾기가 아주 어렵습니다. house because there are so many alleys. The underlined parts in the example above can be replaced by a clause with -아 어서/ .

기 때문에기 때문에기 때문에기 때문에verb stem +

Note: 1. -기 때문에is added to a verb stem to make a gerund. , by itself meaning because, can be added to nouns or pronouns to express reason. The English equivalent includes because of, on account of, or due to. • 어젯밤에는 옆집 테레비 소리 때문에 I couldn't sleep well last night,

잠을 잘 못 잤어요. because of the sound of the TV from the next door neighbors. 2. A clause with -아 어서/ or -기 때문에 implying cause or reason is never followed by the imperative or a form expressing persuasion. Therefore, expressions such as "Since it's raining, let's stay home." or "Since he's late, wait here for him." will use -니까, rather than these two forms (Chapter 26).

Expressing Speculation -겠- expresses a speaker's intention.

--여기서 내리시겠어요? --Do you want to get off here?

--조금 더 가세요 저 백화점 앞에서. --A bit further, please. I'd like to 내리겠어요. get off in front of the depart- ment store.

Another function of -겠- is to express speculation or conjecture of other people's actions or states. Here the subject is the 2nd person or 3rd person (including inanimate objects). --지금쯤 시내가 굉장히 복잡하겠어요. --Downtown must be pretty jammed 택시 잡기가 어렵겠어요. now, and it'll be hard to catch a taxi.

--어떻게 하지요 약속시간에? --What shall we do? We're late for 늦었어요. the appointment.

--글쎄 모두들, 기다리겠어요. --Well, everybody is probably waiting for us. --그럼 지하철을 타고 가서 버스를 타고, --Then, let's take a subway and then a 가지요 그게. 빠르겠습니다. bus. That will be fast.

verb + 으 시(( ) ) 겠 습니다겠 습니다겠 습니다겠 습니다+ + /습니까습니까습니까습니까/어요어요어요어요

Note:

1. The past tense can be combined with -겠- to express conjecture or speculation, relative to a past event or condition. --정수씨 미안해요 많이, . 기다렸겠어요. --Chungsu, I'm sorry. You must' ve waited a long time. --괜찮습니다. --It's all right.

2. There are instances where the third person subject, combined with -겠-, means a simple factual announcement rather than an speculation or conjecture. Such forms are often used in weather forecasts, announcements, etc. • 서울지방은 내일 하루 종일 비가 It will rain all day long tomorrow in 오겠습니다. the Seoul area. • 다음에는 영희가 노래를 부르겠습니다. Younghee will sing next.

Expressing Uncertainty - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ? is used to express a suggestion or simple inquiry. English equivalents include Shall we...? and Shall I...? Its use in this context is restricted to the first and second person (the speaker and the listener).

--우리 택시 탈까요? --Shall we take a taxi? --네 좋아요, . --Sure.

Another function of - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ? indicates I wonder..., or Do you think...? Two people are talking about an airplane taking off at an airport. --안개가 많이 끼었는데 비행기가, --It's quite foggy; I wonder if the 이륙할 수 있을까요? airplane can take off. --글쎄요 어렵겠어요, . --Well, that will be hard. --그럼 비행기표를 환불해 줄까요? --Then, do you think they'll refund the airplane ticket? --잘 모르겠어요. --I really don't know.

verb stem + 으 ㄹ까요( ) ?

Note: The past tense can be combined with - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ? to express wondering about past actions or states. --김선생님이 어제 미국에서 --I wonder if Mr. Kim returned from 돌아오셨을까요? the US yesterday. --오셨겠지요. --I think he did.

Giving and Asking for Permission

Page 74: Grammar Korean

In English, phrases such as May I...? or Is it all right, if...? are used when asking for permission. Permission is granted using the same structures: You may... or It's all right, if.... When asking a question using this form, the English equivalent is Is it all right if...?, Do you mind if...?, May I...? -아 어도 되다 괜찮다 좋다/ / / may be used forthe same function in Korean.

verb stem + 아 어도 되다 괜찮다 좋다/ / /

Two passengers converse in the airport. --저 실례합니다만 이 잡지 --Excuse me. Do you mind if I take a 좀 봐도 괜찮습니까? look at this magazine?

--네 괜찮아요, . --Sure, go ahead. --그런데 여기, 앉아도 됩니까? --Is it all right to sit here? --아니오 안 됩니다 제 친구 자립니다, . . --No, you can't. It is my friend's seat. Note:

1. -아 어도 되다/ and -아 어도 괜/ 찮다 seem to be more widely used than -아 어도 좋다/in casual speech. The latter is often used for granting permission rather than asking for it.

2. The questions with this form will be answered by "yes" or "no," followed by various responses, as seen above. More possible answers are: --네 괜찮아요 보세요 그러세요, / / . --이 잡지 좀 봐도 돼요 괜찮아요/ ? --아니오 안 됩니다, .

Chapter 23

Expressing Intention Informally Stating a speaker's intention or asking the intention of the listener uses -겠-.

--지금 집에 가시겠습니까? --Would you like to go home now? --아니오 시간 후에, 1 가겠어요 . --No, I'll go home in an hour.

Aother way of expressing one's intention uses - 으 ㄹ게요( ) .

Two colleagues meet at a subway station. --순희씨 표를 샀어요? --Sun-hi, did you buy a ticket?

Page 75: Grammar Korean

--아뇨 사람이 너무 많아서, --No, I couldn't buy a ticket because there 표를 아직 못 샀어요. were too many people. --그· × 그럼 저는 시간이ä? --Oh, really? Well, I'm going to go (out) 없어서 먼저나갈게요. ahead because I'm short on time. --그러세요 제가 나중에, --You go ahead. I'll call you later. 전화할게요.

action verb stem + 으( )ㄹㄹㄹㄹ게요요요요

Note:

1. - 으 ㄹ게요( ) is more informal than -겠어요. 2. It is used only for the speaker's intention in statements and cannot be used to ask for a listener's intention.

Chapter 23

Expressing Wishes The pattern -기 바라다 is used to express desire, expectation, or wanting, and is attached directly to the verb stem. The English equivalent is I/We hope that.... This form is most often used to request some kind of compliance in a formal setting, for example, on signs, information broadcasts, etc. 전동차가 들어올 때는 안전선에서 Please wait at the safety line 기다리시기 바랍니다. when the train arrives. 자동 판매기를 이용하시기 We hope you make use of 바랍니다. the vending machine. 내리고 타실 때는 조심하시기 When you board and debark, 바랍니다. please be careful

기 바라다기 바라다기 바라다기 바라다verb stem +

Note: 바라다, meaning want, expect, can often be added directly to a noun. As you might have noticed, -기 is a gerund that makes the desired action a noun form. --장선생님은 자식들한테 무엇을 --Mrs. Chang, what do you expect 바라십니까? from your children?

Page 76: Grammar Korean

으 려고"Verb stem + ( ) "--can be followed by any verb and is not restricted to verbs indicating movement.

verb stem + 으 려고( )

Note: When you want to state a request, suggestion, or obligation, you have to use a pattern that is slightly different from the one above: • 전화하려면 저기로 가야 됩니다. You have to go there (in order) to call. • 전화하려고 하면 저기로 가십시오. Please go there if you intend to make a call. • 장거리 전화를 하려면 먼저 번을1 You have to press "1" if you want

을 눌러야 합니다. to make a long distance call.

Connecting Two Contradictory Clauses

Kyle and Mikyung are talking about their foreign language learning experiences. --저는요 고등학교때 독어를, --I studied German in high school 이 년 동안 공부했어요. 그렇지만 for two years but I forgot it all. 다 잊어 버렸어요. 지금은 한국말을 Now I'm studying Korean. 배우고 있습니다 한국말은 조금. Korean is a little bit difficult, but 어렵지만 재미있습니다. it's fun.

Page 79: Grammar Korean

When connecting two contradictory ideas, conjunctions such as but, or however are used in English. In Ko 그렇지만 그러나rean, you can use or between the twosentences. You may also add -지만 to the verb stem of the first of two contraditoryclauses.

verb stem 지만지만지만지만+

Chapter 24

"Seeing and Being Seen" & "Hearing and Being Heard" In sentences with the active voice, the verb takes an object. Active voice: • 정찰부대가 적의 활동을 봅니다. The reconnaissance unit observes object verb the enemy's activities. • 어젯밤¿¡ 총소리를 들었습니다. Last night, I heard the gunfire. object verb In the passive voice, the object of an active construction becomes the subject of the sentence, as in the examples above and below. This is accomplished in Korean

보이다 들리다through modifying certain verbs, such as , , etc. Passive voice: • 여기서 적의 활동이 보입니다. The enemy's activities are seen subject verb from here. • 여기서 총소리가 들립니다. The gunfire can be heard here. subject verb

보이다 들리다Although the passive verbs, and literally mean, be seen and be heard, respectively, Korean sentences in which they are used are often rendered in English in the active voice. This is to avoid situations where the passive voice in English would be awkward.

Page 80: Grammar Korean

Minsoo and Mikyung are walking in the woods. --민수 씨 여기 참 아름답죠, ? --Minsoo, this is beautiful, isn't it? --네, À 나무 위의 빨간 새가â --Yes.

Expressing Strong Feelings Mina and her officemates are chatting in the office after a big lunch. --점심을 너무 많이 먹었나 봐요. --It seems I ate too much for lunch. 배가 불러 죽겠어요. I'm so full. --저도요 배가 너무 불러서. --Me, too. I'm so full, it's painful! 힘들어 죽겠어요! --나는 졸려서 죽겠는데요. --I'm so sleepy. --저는요 음식이 좀 짰나 봐요. . --The food seemed to be a bit too 목이 말라 죽겠습니다. salty for me. I'm dying of thirst.

죽겠다As English speakers do, Koreans often use the phrase , I'm dying..., to express weariness or fatigue. The phrase is also used with a stative verb to intensify the meaning of that verb. It used to be used to express a strong feeling of distress, but it can now be combined with any stative verb to express the speaker's subjective feeling, including happiness.

아 어아 어아 어아 어stative verb stem + / 서( ) 죽겠다죽겠다죽겠다죽겠다

ㅂ 어렵다 밉다Note also the use of this phrase with verbs ending in , such as , ,즐겁다 ㅂ 우, etc. When the verb stem is followed by a vowel, changes to and iscontracted with the following vowel.

Chapter 25

Expressing Emotion or Wish of a Third Person

Mina is thanking Inkyoo for visiting her at home.

Page 81: Grammar Korean

--인규씨 어제 저희 집에 와 주셔서 --Inkyoo, thanks for coming to my 고맙습니다 또 예쁜 꽃을 가지고. house. My mother was very happy 오셔서 우리 어머니가 굉장히 because you brought flowers.

좋아하셨어요 할머니께 초콜릿을. My grandmother also thanked you 선물로 주셔서 할머니께서도 for the present of chocolates.

고마워 하셨습니다 어머니가. My mother wants to invite you once 인규씨를 다시 한번 초대하고 more.

싶어 해요. --그래요 감사합니다 날짜만 알려? . --Really? Thank you. Just name the 주시면 언제라도 가지요. the date and I'll come any time.

기쁘다 무섭다 반갑다When stative verbs expressing an emotional state (e.g., , , ,미안하다) or a wish (e.g., -고 싶다) are used to state a third person's feelings, thefollowing pattern is used:

아 어아 어아 어아 어stative verb stem + / 하다

Note the following contrasts in usage: • 미안합니다. I'm sorry. • 오선생이 미안해 합니다. Mr. Oh feels sorry. • 아주 반가워요. I'm very glad to see you. • 제동생이 아주 반가워 했어요. My brother was very glad to see you. • 한국에 가고 싶어요. I want to go to Korea. • 할머니가 한국에 가고 싶어 하세요. My grandmother wants to go to Korea.

Chapter 25

Describing a Continuous State or Situation With certain verbs, you use the past tense to denote actions or states that began in the past and continue into the present.

Page 82: Grammar Korean

describing weather: 날씨가 맑았습니다. It's clear. 안개가 꼈습니다. It's foggy. marital status: 결혼했습니다. I'm married. (i.e., I got married and am still married.)

Note that these verbs are usually used in the past tense form, even though they describe the present state. -았 었/ - between the verb stem and the ending primarily indicates past tense, or the completion of an action. However, with certain kinds of verbs, e.g., many that describe physical appearance, -았 었/ - also implies a state that continues into the present. Insoo and Mina are talking about Mina's blind date. --그분 늙었어요? --Is he old? --아뇨 젊어요, . --No, he's young. --못 생겼어요? --Is he ugly? --아뇨, 잘 생겼습니다. --No, he's handsome. --뚱뚱해요? --Is he fat? --아뇨, 말랐어요 보기 좋아요. ! --No, he's skinny. He looks good! Note that if you want to refer to a status which is no longer true, simply add another -었 after the infix -았 었/ . • 결혼했었습니다. I was married (but not anymore). • 잘생겼었습니다. He was handsome (but is no longer). • 말랐었어요. He was thin (but not anymore).

Chapter 26

Expressing the Reason for...: II -아 어서/ , and -기 때문에 denote the reason for something. Another similar form is - 으 니까( ) . The English equivalents include because, since, or so . Mina and her friend are talking in a restaurant: --미나씨 지금, 소나기가 오니까 --Mina, it's drizzling now,

Page 83: Grammar Korean

조± 이따가 갑시다Ý . so let's go a little later. --그렇군요 그럼 커피 한 잔 더. , --So it is. So, shall we have another

마실까요? coffee? --저는 벌써 커피를 두 잔 마셨으니까, -- I already had two cups, so 오렌지주스를 마시겠어요. I'll have orange juice.

--그럼 저는 야채주스가 몸에, 좋으니까, --Well, I'll drink vegetable juice, 야채주스를 마시겠어요. because it's healthful.

Page 84: Grammar Korean

Note that, except for the first example, - 으 니까 어서( ) can be replaced by or -기 ¶㏏? ¡ . The primary difference in function between - 으 니까 어서( ) and or -기 때문에 can be seen in the first example. That is, - 으 니까( ) expresses the reasonfor a request, command, or suggestion in the following clause, whereas the other two cannot.

으 니까으 니까으 니까으 니까verb stem + ( )

Note: There are other instances where only - 으 니까( ) is used: in instances when thespeaker has drawn a logical conclusion or must express the past tense. • 제가 토요일에 편지를 부쳤으니까/ You should receive the letter 화요일에는 받아야 해요. on Tuesday because I mailed it on Saturday. • 이게 출구니까 저게 입구겠지요, . This is the exit, so that must be the entrance.

Chapter 26

Expressing "Plan to" and "About to" -겠- and - 으 ㄹ게요( ) are used to express the speaker's intention. - 으 려고 하다( )means intend to, plan to, going to, about to, and try to. This form not only expresses a speaker's intention, but can also be used to express a listener's and a third person's intentions. A man is about to leave for work in the morning. --여보 늦었는데 아직 안 갔어요, ? --Dear, it's late and you haven't gone yet? --지금 가려고 해요. --I'm about to leave now. --비가 오려고 하니까 우산을 가지고 --Bring your umbrella, because it's 가세요. about to rain.

--비가 오면 우산을 하나 사려고 해요. --I'm going to buy one if it rains. 내 우산이 고장이 났거든요. My umbrella is broken.

When -려고 하다 is used to express weather or a natural phenomenon, it is often rendered about to rather than plan to or intend to, as in the second occurence of it in the previous example. Similar examples follow. • 지금 해가 뜨려고 합니다. The sun is about to rise.

Page 85: Grammar Korean

• 밖에 비가 오려고 해요. It's about to rain outside. • 꽃이 다 시들어서 죽으려고 해요. The flowers are wilted and are about to die.

verb stem + 으( )려고 하다려고 하다려고 하다려고 하다

Chapter 26

Expressing Inability S 안 지 않다 못entences are negated with " + verb" and with "verb stem + ."expresses one's inability to do something. The English equivalent is can't. There are

안 못also two forms for this negation, just as there are with : add before a verb oradd -지 못하다 after a verb. A student is making excuses in the classroom. --어제 단어 공부 많이 했어요? --Did you get in a lot of vocabulary study yesterday? --아니오 다른 숙제가 많아서, --No, I couldn't because I had a lot of 단어 공부는 못 했어요. other homework.

--그럼 듣기 연습은 많이 했어요, ? --Then, did you get in a lot of practice listening? --테이프를 잊어 버려서 듣기 연습도, --I couldn't do that either because I 하지 못 했어요. forgot the tape.

못못못못 + verb or 지 못하다지 못하다지 못하다지 못하다verb stem +

Note: This form can be interchangeable with - 으 ㄹ수 없다( ) (Chapter 17), as in thefollowing examples. • 아니오 다른 숙제가 많아서, No, I couldn't study vocabulary 단어 공부는 할 수 없었어요. because I had a lot of other homework. • 테이프를 잊어 버려서 듣기 연습도, I couldn't practice listening either, 할 수 없었어요. because I forgot the tape.

Denying Permission; Recommending Against

To express You must not..., You may not..., or You should not, add - 으 면 안 되다( ) tothe verb stem. A commanding officer speaks with one of his enlisted subordinates: --소대장님 이번 주말에 휴가 가도, --May I take leave this weekend, 됩니까? sir?

--안 돼. 가면 안 된다 검열이 있다. . --No, you may not. We have an inspection. --그럼 검열이 끝난 후에는 가도 됩니까, ? --Well, is it OK to go after the inspection is over? --그래 좋아 그런데 휴가갈 때는, . , --Sure, that would be fine. By the 사복을 입으면 안 된다. way, you shouldn't wear civilian clothes when you take leave.

verb stem + 으( )면 안 되다면 안 되다면 안 되다면 안 되다

Chapter 27

Expressing Surprise When expressing surprise, pleasure, wonder, or puzzlement in English, much depends on the intonation. Such exclamations are expressed in Korean with different verb endings rather than by intonation. Two of them are - 으 ㄴ 는데요( ) / ! or - 는 군요( ) !. They are often interchangeable. Corporal Lee is showing the base to his girlfriend, Nami, during open house. --이 상병님 내무반이 아주, --The squad bays are very clean, 깨끗하군요! Corporal Lee! --감사합니다 이리로 오세요 여기가. . --Thanks. Come this way. This is

바로 우리 육군식당입니다. the Army mess hall. --아 아주! 크고 좋은데요! --Wow! It's so large and nice!

몇 명쯤 들어갈 수 있어요? How many people can it hold? -- 명까지 식사할 수 있어요150 . --Up to 150 can eat here. --아! 대단한데요! --Oh! That's impressive!

verb stem + 으 ㄴ 는데요( ) / ! verb stem + 는 군요( ) !

Page 87: Grammar Korean

Note: 1. These two exclamations occasionally have different functions: - 으 ㄴ 는데요( ) / !may be used when the speaker draws the listener's attention; - 는 군요( ) ! is used whenthe speaker realizes or discovers something that he/she assumes the listener already knew. The following example illustrates the difference. Two colleagues are discussing Miss Lee's wedding: --미스리는 왜 결혼을 안 하지요? --Why doesn't Miss Lee get married? --아니 모르셨어요? --Didn't you know? She's getting 내일 미스리 결혼하는데요! married tomorrow!

--그래요 드디어? 결혼을 하는군요! --Really? So, she's finally getting married! 2. Add - 으 ㄴ데요( ) to stative verbs and -는데요 to action verbs. 3. Add -는군요 to action verbs with the present tense. Otherwise, add -군요.

I'll just take them on a road march instead. An action is requested by using - 으 십시오( ) or - 으 세요( ) . Requests that an action

지cease or that it not be initiated are made by using the action verb stem + + the verb말다 + - 으 십시오( ) or - 으 세요 말다( ) . is the equivalent of don't... or stop... in English.

지 말다지 말다지 말다지 말다verb stem +

Note:

Page 88: Grammar Korean

1. -지 말다 may also take the conjunctive, -고. In such cases, the following clausenormally takes the form of an alternate request. The overall meaning is roughly don't do that; do (something else) instead. This can be seen in the exchange above. 2. -지 말다 may also be combined with - 으 ㅂ시다( ) . This translates roughly intoEnglish as Let's not (do).... Additionally, the suggestion form, - 으 ㄹ까요( ) ?, may alsobe combined with -지 말다, and translates roughly into English as Shall we not (do)...?, thereby making negative suggestions. Note this also in the exchange above.

Chapter 28

Expressing Only One or a Limited Number of Items

PFC Sung is reporting to SGT Lee about his status: 이 중사님 저는 양말이 두 켤레, 밖에 SFC Lee, I only have two pairs of 없습니다 군화는 한 켤레. 밖에 없고, socks. I have only one pair of boots, 깨끗한 군복도 한 벌 밖에 없습니다. and only 밥은one clean uniform. And I've어제부터 한 끼 밖에 only had one meal since yesterday. 못 먹었습니다. When you are speaking of just one or of a limited number of items, the following construction is commonly used:

밖에밖에밖에밖에noun (number, counter) + + negative form of a verb

한국 말은한국 말은한국 말은한국 말은: 하나도Koreans use the expression " + negative form of a verb" fornot even one. For example,

• 먹을 것이 하나도 없습니다. I don't have anything to eat. (Lit., I don't have even one thing to eat.) • 그 식당에는 한 번도 안 갔습니다. I didn't go to that restaurant even once.

Chapter 28

Talking in a Familiar Form of Address The English language does not have familiar and polite forms for addressing people. The most common way of adapting these speaking styles--based on different

Page 89: Grammar Korean

relationships with different people--is by using a first name (familiar) or a last name (polite) with a title (e.g., Mrs., Dr., Professor). In the latter case, one also tends to speak less casually or colloquially than in the former.

In Ko 존댓말 반말rean, the difference between polite talk ( ) and familiar talk ( ) is morepronounced and consistent. When Koreans talk to children, certain family members, and close friends, they use the familiar form with appropriate verb endings.

In the Korean military, the distinction between polite and familiar usage is based on one's role in relation to the role of others, i.e., a superior vs. a subordinate.

PFC Min is talking about his military training with his mother: --훈련이 힘들어요. --The training is hard. --그래 얼마나 힘들어, ? --Really? How hard is it? --아주 힘들어요. --Very hard. --잠은 잘 자? --Do you sleep well? --잠도 많이 못 자요. --I don't get enough sleep, either. --식사는 잘 해? --Do you eat well? --식사하는 시간도 아주 짧아요. --Meal time is really short. --그래 알아 그래도 참아야지, . . --I know, but you've got to hang in there. --알아요 어머니, . --I know, Mother.

As you can see, removing the -요 from all verb forms ending with -요 will generate the majority of verb forms used in the familiar address. There is, however, one important exception: -이에요 이다, the familiar form of , becomes -이야.

이에요 이야vs. --지금 몇 시에요? --What time is it now? --지금 몇 시야? --여덟 시 반이에요 --It's 8:30. --여덟 시 반 이야( ).

Note:

1. In addition to the verb forms, there are other differences between the polite and familiar forms of address, including personal pronouns. The familiar forms of personal pronouns are displayed in the chart below. 2. Different sets of expressions are also used for "yes" and "no."

pronouns familiar polite

Expressing Simultaneous Actions Mr. Lee likes to do two things at the same time. 이 선생은 아침을 먹으면서 신문을 Mr. Lee reads the newspaper while 봅니다 또 지하철을. 타고 가면서 having breakfast and listens to an 영어 회화 테이프를 듣습니다. English conversation tape while riding 그리고 저녁을 먹으면서 텔레비전을 the subway. Then he watches TV 봅니다 또 음악을. 들으면서 책을 while having dinner and reads a book 읽습니다. while listening to music.

으 면서The conjunctive ( ) basically expresses the notion of simultaneity or nearsimultaneity, It can be rendered as while..., at the same time as..., or as.... The subjects of the two sentences are usually the same. The conjunctive clause with 으 면서( ) does not take tense markers for this meaning. • 비행기가 추락하면서 폭발했습니다. The plane exploded as it plummeted to earth. • 집에서 나오면서 숙제 생각이 I remembered my homework as I

났습니다. walked out of the house.

verb stem + 으( )면서면서면서면서

예 네* is a variation of .

Page 91: Grammar Korean

으 면서( ) can also be used in describing persons or things. •••• 그 분은 의사이면서 교수입니다. He is a doctor and a professor. •••• 이 녹음기는 값이 싸면서 This recorder is cheap and of good

성능도 좋아요. quality. Note:

는When simultaneous actions are performed by two or more different subjects,동안 에( ) is used. •••• 위생병이 부상자를 치료하는 동안에 While the medic was giving the

Responding to Negative Questions Mr. Park asks his colleague, Ms. Choi, about Mr. Ahn's motorcycle accident: --최 선생님 안 선생 어때요, ? --Ms. Choi, how is Mr. Ahn? He got hurt, 다치지 않았지요? didn't he? --아뇨 다리를 다쳤어요, . --Yes, he hurt his leg. --발목을 삐지 않았어요? --Didn't he sprain his ankle? --네, 다행히 삐지 않았어요. --No, fortunately, he didn't. --다른 데는 안 다쳤어요? --Wasn't he hurt anywhere else? --네 안 다쳤어요, . --No, he wasn't. --그럼 중상은, 아니잖아요? --Then it's not serious, is it? --그렇죠 다행이에요 그렇지만, . --No, fortunately it isn't. But I always 제가 안 선생님한테 늘 told Mr. Ahn, "Motorcycles are

말했잖아요 오토바이는? " dangerous," didn't I? 위험합니다 라고요" .

When you ask a "yes/no question" with a negative verb phrase, the usage of 네 아니오/ in responding is different from that of English. In Korean, if the question isin a negative form, then you either agree or disagree with the question itself, as in the examples above. Although it might seem illogical at first glance, what you are answering in Korean is, "What you said/assumed is wrong, he did hurt his leg." or "What you said/assumed is right, he didn't sprain his ankle." -지 않아요 잖아요/ ? is also commonly used in conversation to emphasize a point or toremind the listener of a known fact, as in the last exchange above. Though it appears to be a question in its written form, in this case it is voiced with a slight drop in volume, much like a statement. It is like a rhetorical question, which conveys the speaker's call for verification.

Forming Korean Adverbs

Page 102: Grammar Korean

Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Korean has a number of words that serve purely as adverbs (e.g., 훨씬 by far, 역시, indeed); however, many "adverbs" are derived from stative verbs, with the addition of 게 to the verb stems.

박 선생님은 한국 여행에서 돌아와서 막 공항에 도착했습니다. --박 선생님, 정말 반갑습니다. --It's really good to see you, Mr. Park. 비행기 여행은 편하게 하셨어요? Did you have a comfortable plane trip? --네, 스튜어디스가 아주 친절하게. --Yes, It was very comfortable because 서비스를 해 주어서 아주 편했어요 the stewardesses so kindly attended to my needs. --그런데 예정보다 빨리 도착했군요. --By the way, (the plane) arrived earlier than expected. --네, 날씨가 맑게 개어서 별 문제가 --Yes, the weather cleared up nicely, 없었거든요. so the flight went without incident.

stative verb stem + 게게게게

Note: Adding 이, 히, or 리 to the stems of many stative verbs serves the same function (as adding 게). The use of 빨리 (derived from 빠르다) in the example above illustrates this fact. The following table contains some of the verbs with which these endings may be used.

stative verb +게 +이/히/리

편하다 편하게 편히

빠르다 빠르게 빨리

늦다 늦게

편리하다 편리하게

크다 크게

작다 작게

예쁘다 예쁘게

Korean Verbs: An Update on Verb Stems Ending inㅎㅎㅎㅎ Two tourists are impressed by an unusual lake. --저 파란 호수 좀 보세요. --Look at that blue lake! --정말 신기하지요? 이런 사막에 --Isn't it incredible? I wonder how 어떻게 저런 호수가 있을까요? such a lake could exist in this desert. When a verb stem ends in ㅎ, such as 빨갛다, 하얗다, 이렇다, and 어떻다, ㅎis dropped if followed by a vowel. The basic color terms belong to this category. For example: 파랗다: 파랗 + 습니다 --------> 파랗습니다 파랗 + 아/어요 --------> 파래요 파랗 + (으)면 --------> 파라면 파랗 + (으)ㄴ --------> 파란 파랗 + 게 --------> 파랗게 이렇다: 이렇 + 습니다 --------> 이렇습니다 이렇 + 아/어요 --------> 이래요 이렇 + (으)면 --------> 이러면 이렇 + (으)ㄴ --------> 이런 이렇 + 게 --------> 이렇게 Notes: 1. When these verbs are followed by -아/어요, ㅎis dropped and the remaining vowels contract to 애.

Page 104: Grammar Korean

저렇 + 아/어요 --------> 저래요 하얗 + 아/어요 --------> 하얘요 2. A few exceptions are verbs such as 좋다 and 많다, where ㅎ is always retained. 좋 + 습니다 --------> 좋습니다 좋 + 아/어요 --------> 좋아요 좋 + (으)면 --------> 좋으면 좋 + (으)ㄴ --------> 좋은 좋 + 게 --------> 좋게

Extended Use of Conditional Actions Conditional statements similar to if or when clauses in English are expressed by "verb stem + -(으)면."

--아스피린요. 먹고 10분만 있으면, --Aspirin. (If I wait) 10 minutes after 금방 낫습니다. taking it, I feel better.

Adding the notion of one's intention changes the ending. 성호가 비행기표를 예약하려고 합니다. --이번 연휴에 부산에 가려면 --I've got to reserve an airline ticket now 지금 비행기표를 예약해야 if I'm going to Pusan over the holiday, 하지요? don't I? --벌써 기차표와 비행기표가 모두 --All train and airline tickets are sold out. 다 팔렸어요. 연휴에 어디 If you want to go somewhere for the 가시려면 적어도 2주전에는 holidays, you have to reserve the tickets 표를 예매하셔야 해요. at least two weeks in advance.

verb stem + (으)려면려면려면려면

한국말은: You may frequently hear a variation of -(으)려면: -(으)려거든. These two forms are often interchangeable and can be rendered in English as "If you want to (do)...." However, -(으)려거든 is mostly found in colloquial speech and requires that the following clause be a request or command form. 등산을 가려면, 등산장비를 준비하십시오. 등산을 가려거든, 등산장비를 준비하십시오 . 박물관으로 가려면, 어떻게 가요? 박물관으로 가려거든, 어떻게 가요?

Another noun, 데, meaning place and situation, and following the same attributive ending, is often used to mean for doing (something) or in doing (something).

"Anything Or Anyone"

Page 109: Grammar Korean

Expressing non-existence or the absence of persons and objects uses "아무 + (noun) + 도 + negative verb."

손님이 여관 주인한테 물어 봅니다. --왜 이 방에 아무것도 없어요? --Why is there nothing in here? 이불하고 요는 어디 있어요? Where are the blankets and quilts?

--염려 마세요. 지금 곧 갖다 --Not to worry. I'll bring them now. 드리겠어요.

A similar phrase, "아무 + (noun) + (이)나/(이)든지, is used to express the same notion." 손님이 호텔에 묵으려고 합니다: --빈 방 있습니까? --Have you any vacancies? --네, 그런데 어떤 방을 원하십니까? --Yes, but what kind of room would 온돌방도 있고 침대방도 있어요. you like? We have both ondol rooms and rooms with beds. --아무 방이나 주세요. --Any room is fine with me.

Which room is cheaper?

When used in an affirmative context, this phrase carries meaning similar to the English terms anything, anyone, any (noun), or anything/anyone at all. When the phrase precedes a negative or negated verb, a sense of restriction or bias is suggested, as implied by the English phrases not just anything, not just anyone, or no ordinary (person or thing).

아무아무아무아무+ (noun) + (이)나/(이)든지든지든지든지

(이)든지 can replace (이)나 in the pattern above without changing the meaning.

• 저한테 일자리를 주시면 아무 일이나 하겠어요. • 저한테 일자리를 주시면 아무 일이든지 하겠어요.. • 돈이 다 떨어졌지만

I will do anything if you give me a job.

Page 110: Grammar Korean

아무 일이나 할 수 없어요 . • 돈이 다 떨어졌지만 아무 일이든지 할 수 없어요. Use of 아무 + (noun) + (이)나/(이)든지 may also involve persons, places, or objects other than the subject or direct object, in which cases postpositions such as 한테 or 에서 should be used. • 이것 아주 중요한 일이니까 This is very important, so don't 아무한테나 말하지 마세요. tell just anyone. (Be careful whom you mention it to.) • 지금 시간이 없으니까 Since we don't have much time, 아무 음식점에서든지 let's just eat at any place that serves 먹읍시다. food.

Phrases comprised of (이)나/(이)든지, preceded by an interrogative (e.g., 무엇, 누구, 어디, 언제), are equivalent in meaning to English phrases such as no matter (how much, what, when, where, which, who...).

interrogative + (이)나/(이)든지

• 그 일은 누구나/누구든지 Anyone can do that work. (No matter 할 수 있어요. who he/she is, he/she can handle that [task].)

Here 누구나/누구든지 can be replaced with 아무나/아무든지 without changing the meaning, except with a negative verb. Other interrogatives + (이)나/(이)든지 can also be replaced with 아무 + noun + (이)나/(이)든지, as follows:

• 무엇이나/무엇이든지 아무 것이나/아무 것이든지 • 어디나/어디든지 아무 데나/아무 데든지 • 언제나/언제든지 아무 때나/아무 때든지

In addition to these endings, there are various forms used in familiar talk, depending on sentence types: statement, question, request or command, and suggestion. 제임스와 석호가 같이 살 아파트에 대해서 이야기합니다. --이 아파트는 어떠니? --How do you like this apartment? --너무 좁지 않냐? 그리고 조금 비싸다. --Isn't it too small? It's a little expensive. --나는 괜찮은데. 그럼 조금 더 --I like it. Why don't we give it some 생각해 보자. more thought? --그래. 난 지금 회사에 간다. --OK. I have to go to the office now. 나중에 회사로 전화해라. Call me there later. All of the sentence endings above indicate that the conversation is between very close friends. These various forms are summarized as follows.

Page 112: Grammar Korean

statement -(ㄴㄴㄴㄴ)다다다다 question -니/(느)냐. request or command -아/어라 suggestion -자

Notes: 1. When you make a statement with the familiar form in present tense, ㄴis always added to the stem of action verbs. • 서울에는 집값이 너무 비싸다. 그렇지만 작년까지는 지금보다 더

비쌌었다. 그래서 올해에는 사람들이 집을 많이 산다. 2. You will hear variations in the familiar form for questions and requests in colloquial speech. For example, • 지금 무슨 책을 읽니/읽냐/읽느냐? • 빨리 준비하고 학교에 가거라/가라.

Chapter 38

Linking Two Independent Clauses The conjuction 그런데 is used in the sense of but, however, or by the way. The ending 는데 is used similarly. "집도 많고 아파트도 많은데 우리집은 없어요."

"돈은 있는데 신용이 없어요."

"돈이 별로 없는데 집을 살 수 있을까요?"

"전세를 들었는데 전세금이 또 올랐습니다."

"요즘 바쁜데 집을 보지 않고 살 수 없을까요?"

verb stem + (으)ㄴ/는데는데는데는데

Page 113: Grammar Korean

To all action verbs, add 는데.

먹 + 는데 ------> 먹는데 가 + 았 + 는데 ------> 갔는데

To all stative verbs that are not in the present tense,

add 는데.

작 + 았 + 는데 ------> 작았는데 예쁘 + 겠 + 는데 -------> 예쁘겠는데

When 이다 and a stative verb are in the present tense and the stem ends in a vowel,

add ㄴ데.

예쁘 + ㄴ데 ------> 예쁜데

When a stative verb is in the present tense and its stem ends in a consonant,

add 은데.

작 + 은데 -------> 작은데

The two different functions of -(으)ㄴ/는데 are explained below. 1. When connecting two contradictory clauses, -(으)ㄴ/는데 is used. --지난 주에 이 아파트 계약하기로 --I was going to lease this 했는데 마음을 바꾸었어요. apartment, but I changed my mind. -왜요? --Why is that? --다 괜찮은데, 너무 오래됐어요.± --Everything's alright, but it's too old. --그런데, 그 값에 이런 아파트 없습니다. --But, there's no apartment like this at that price. 2. The same ending is used to connect two clauses which are somehow logically connected. The clause with this ending often functions as a lead-in to the clause that follows. Hence, -(으)ㄴ/는데 itself is not translated; instead, it is often represented by a semicolon. --내일 이사해야 하는데, 좀 도와 --I have to move tomorrow; could you 주겠니? help me? --도와주고 싶은데, 오후에 약속이 있어. --I'd like to help, but I have an appointment in the afternoon. --오전에 다 할 수 있는데, 오전에만 --We can finish by noon; just 와라. come by for the morning. --그래. 12시까지만 도와 줄게. --Well, then I'll help you until 12 o'clock.

Expressing Intention -(으)려고 하다 expresses a speaker's intention.

• 저는 이번 휴가때 책을 많이 I'm going to read a lot of books • 선생님, 지금 떠나시려고 Are you going to leave now? 하십니까?

You may also use -(으)ㄹ까 하다 for expressing future plans or intentions.

--박선생님, 새 집으로 언제 --Mr. Park, when are you going to 이사하세요? move into your new house? --이번 주말에 할까 합니다. --I'm considering moving this weekend. --새 집을 사서 좋으시지요? --I'll bet you're happy about your new home, aren't you? --산 것이 아니고, 전세 들었습니다. --I didn't buy it, I rented it. I'm thinking 집은 2년 후에나 살까 합니다 about buying one in another two years.

action verb stem + (으)ㄹ까ㄹ까ㄹ까ㄹ까 하다하다하다하다

Note: Although -(으)ㄹ까 하다 is not used in questions, it is mostly interchangeable with -(으)려고 하다. However, when -(으)ㄹ까 하다 is used, the speaker seems more tentative about the intention than with -(으)려고 하다.

Indicating Substitution English makes use of phrases like instead of..., on behalf of..., or in place of..., to express the notion of substitution. This is expressed in Korean by "noun (phrase) + 대신에." 오영희 씨가 아픕니다.

어제부터 기침이 나고 열이 있습니다. 감기에 걸린 것 같습니다. 그렇지만 감기니까 병원에 가는 대신에 약방에 가서 감기약을 살까 합니다.

Indicating "On the Way to..." The Korean equivalent of on the way to (a place)/on one's way to (a place) is expressed by "verb stem + 는 길에." It is typically used with verbs such as 오다/가다/출근하다/퇴근하다.

action verb stem + 는는는는 길에길에길에길에

민수가 아내한테 부탁을 합니다. --여보, 오후에 시간 있어? --Honey, do you have any time this afternoon? --왜요? 치과에 가야 하는데요. --Why? I have to go to the dentist. --그래? 그럼 치과에 가는 길에 --Really?

On my way home, I'll buy 이 좋아하는 복숭아 사가지고 올게. some of those peaches you like. --좋아요. --Great.

Indicating Past Experience When expressing one's experience, or lack thereof, as in having (done something) before, use "verb stem + (으) ㄴ/는 일/적이 있다/없다."

다음은 민 선생님에 대한 글입니다. 민 선생님은 한국에서 영어를 가르친 Mr. Min has experience teaching

Page 118: Grammar Korean

적이 있다. 그리고 미국에서는 한국 English in Korea and he has taught 어를 가르친 일이 있다. 지금은 Korean in the US. Now he performs 한국어와 영어를 동시 통역하는 일을 simultaneous interpretation between 하고 있다. Korean and English.

verb stem + (으) ㄴ/는 일일일일/적이이이이 있다있다있다있다/없다없다없다없다

This feature combines a verb form with one of two nouns, 일 or 적, and means matters, occurrence, occasion, experience, or time. The resulting meaning is similar to that of the present perfect in English (i.e., have been, has departed, have seen, etc.).

Chapter 40

Expressing "Merely..." It often becomes necessary to describe people or objects in terms of limited numbers and/or attributes. In such cases, the purpose may be to contrast one subject or attribute with another, or to indicate a limited number of items or people. Whereas the terms merely and only are used to express such limitation in English, -뿐이다 and -(으)ㄹ 뿐이다, respectively, are combined with nouns and verbs in Korean to form similar meanings. 제리와 순지가 국사 교수님에 대하여 이야기하고 있다. --제리 씨는 지난 학기에 무슨 무슨 --Jerry, which courses did you take 과목을 들었어요? last semester? --제가 들은 과목은 한국어하고 --The only courses I took were Korean 국사 뿐이었어요. and Korean history. --국사 교수님 까다롭지요? --Isn't the history professor hard to please? --그렇지 않아요. 그 교수님은 --Not really. He merely looks that way. 까다롭게 보일 뿐 아주 좋은 He's actually a very nice person. 분이에요. --그래요? 시험 문제를 너무 --Is he? I heard that his exams were 어렵게 내신다고 들었는데. horribly difficult. --공부를 안 하는 사람들한테만 --They're only difficult for those who 어려울 뿐이에요. don't study.

verb stem -(으) ㄹ noun

} + 뿐이다뿐이다뿐이다뿐이다

Page 119: Grammar Korean

Note: -뿐만 아니라 is the Korean equivalent of not only. • 너뿐만 아니라, 나도 할 수 있어. Not only you but I, also, can do it. • 제 친구 혜수는 얼굴이 예쁠 뿐만 My friend Haesue is not only pretty, 아니라 마음씨도 착합니다. she is also nice.

Chapter 40

Reported Speech: I There are two ways of reporting the speech of other people: direct quotes and indirect quotes. Direct quotation involves quoting exactly the speaker's original words, whereas indirect quotation serves to paraphrase the speaker's utterance without altering its meaning. In Korean, indirect quotations are used extensively in reported speech. In English, Mr. Ahn said he's taking leave this week, is an indirect quote, while Mr. Ahn said, "I'm taking leave next week," is a direct quote. Notice how the same sentences are expressed in Korean: 안정훈 씨가 정민수 씨와 사무실에서 이야기합니다. --정민수 씨, 저 다음 주에 휴가 --Mr. Chung, I'm taking leave next 갑니다. week. --그러세요? 좋으시겠군요. --You are? Good for you. 정민수 씨가 그 다음 주 월요일에 과장님께 보고합니다 (report). --안정훈 씨 아직 안 나왔습니까? --Isn't Mr. Ahn here yet? --안정훈씨 이번 주에 휴가간다고 --Mr. Ahn said he's taking leave this 했습니다. week. --뭐라고 했다구요? --What exactly did Mr. Ahn say to you? --안정훈 씨가 "저 다음 주에 --Mr. Ahn said, "I'm taking leave next 휴가갑니다"라고 했습니다. week." --누구 마음대로요? --He calls all the shots now? The example shows both a direct and an indirect quote. In a direct quote, the quoted sentence is the exact words of the original speaker in quotation marks, followed by 라고 합니다/했습니다. In an indirect quote, the subject of the quoted sentence, the time, and the place references are changed according to the speaker's perspective.

Reported Speech: II

Page 121: Grammar Korean

When a statement is quoted, it ends with a familiar form, such as 다, 는다, ㄴ다 followed by 고 하다, meaning (someone) says that.... When a statement ends with -이다, 다 is replaced by 라. The following are quotations of questions, requests, and suggestions. 석호가 어머니한테 전화로 제임스가 농구 경기에 가느냐고 물어봅니다. --엄마, 제임스가 전화했어요? --Mom, did James call? --응, 전화했는데, 오늘 농구경기에 못 --Yes, he called, but he said he can't 간다고 했어. go to the baseball game today. --어제 농구 같이 하자고 했는데 . --Yesterday, he suggested we play 또 전화하면, 내일 경기에는 오냐고 baseball together. If he calls again, 좀 물어 보세요. 그리고 밤 9시 후에 ask him if he's coming to tomorrow's 전화하라고 하세요. game. And tell him to call me tonight after 9:00. --그래. --OK.

As illustrated in the conversation above, different forms of quotations are involved for statements, questions, requests, and suggestions. Explanations for each form follow.

Chapter 41

A. Quoting questions When a question is quoted, it ends with the familiar form, (으/느)냐, plus 고 하다, meaning (someone) asks that....

verb stem + (으/느)냐 + 고 하다

• 제임스가 어머니한테 농구경기가 끝났(느)냐고 물었습니다. • 어머니가 석호한테 그 사람이 제임스냐고 했습니다.

Page 122: Grammar Korean

When the stem of a stative verb ends in a consonant and the verb is in the present tense,

add (으)냐고 하다.

좋 + (으)냐 +고 하다 ------> 좋(으)냐고 하다

When the stem of a stative verb (including 이다) ends in a vowel and the verb is in the present tense,

add 냐고 하다.

예쁘 + 냐 + 고 하다 ------>예쁘냐고 하다

Otherwise, add (느)냐고 하다.

예쁘+었 + (느)냐 + 고 하다 ------>예뻤(느)냐고 하다 있 + (느)냐 + 고 하다 ------> 있(느)냐고 하다

Notes: 1. The forms (으/느) in parentheses are optional, in that you will either hear 좋으냐고 하다 or 좋냐고 하다, and 예뻤느냐고 하다 or 예뻤냐고 하다. 2. A question ending with 이다 takes 냐고 하다 for a quotation, as shown in the middle row of the previous formula. However, when the word preceding 이다 ends with a vowel, 이 in 이다 can be deleted. 3. The final verb, 하다 in -(으/느)냐고 하다, can be replaced by 묻다/물어 보다, meaning ask.

Chapter 41

B. Quoting requests When a request is quoted, the verb stem is followed by (으)라, and 고 하다 is added, which means (someone) says/requests/orders, etc. that..., or to....

Expressing an Action That Immediately Follows Another 축구 경기를 하다가 선수 하나가 다쳤습니다. --김종오 선수가 다리를 다친 것 같군요. --Kim Chong-o appears to be injured. --네, 아까 공을 치자마자 넘어졌는데, --Yes, he fell a while ago, as soon as 그 때 다친 것 같아요. he kicked the ball; that's when he got hurt. --넘어지자마자 바로 일어나서 괜찮은 것 --He got up right after he fell, so he 같았는데요. seemed alright. --글쎄요. 경기를 계속할 수 있을지 --Gee, I wonder whether he can 모르겠습니다. continue the game. As this example shows, -자마자 is used to express as soon as... or no sooner than.... It states that one action in a clause (with -자마자) is immediately followed by another action in the next clause.

action verb stem + 자마자

Note: In this pattern, the last part, 마자, is occasionally dropped in speaking as well as in writing.

the first verb 가다 오다 다니다 돌다 turn

돌아가다 return

돌아오다 come back

돌아다니다 go around

찾다 find/seek

찾아가다 (go to) visit

찾아오다 (come to) visit

서울 사우나에서 스트레스를 깨끗이 풀어 버리십시오.

짜증스러운 피로를 훌훌 털어 버리십시오.

운동후의 땀을 말끔히 씻어 버리십시오.

As you might have surmised, action verbs followed by 아/어 버리다 are used to mean finish doing... or do...completely, depending on the context.

action verb stem + 아/어 버리다

• 어제 약속을 잊어 버렸어요. I completely forgot about yesterday's appointment. • 여기 있던 과자를 누가 먹어 버렸어요? Who ate up the cookies here?

Overview of Korean Sentence Structures Basic sentence structures are combinations of a subject and a predicate. The predicate is the part of a sentence that states something about the subject, composed of a verb and often including objects, modifiers, or complements of the verb.

This table presents a summary of the basic sentence structures.

Page 129: Grammar Korean

문형 (sentence structure) example

I subject + noun + 이다 predicate

김영호씨는 의사입니다.

II subject + 있다stative verb/ predicate

날씨가 좋습니다.

III subject + intransitive action verb predicate

새가 날아갑니다.

IV subject + object + transitive verb predicate

정일병이 책을 읽어요.

V subject + direct object + indirect object predicate + transitive verb

정일병이 책을 김영호씨한테

주었습니다.

VI

(subject) topic + (subject) topic +

predicate

미스 양은 얼굴이 예쁩니다.

Notes:

1. Any word in each of these basic sentence structures may be preceded and modified by other words, phrases, or clauses: attributive forms of all verbs modify nouns, whereas adverbs, time references, and locational phrases modify verbs.

The underlined words are the basic elements of these statements. Nearly all of the remaining words modify them. • 저기 가는 아이가 김선생님의 딸입니다. • 저쪽 본관 뒤의 주차장에 제 차가 있습니다. • 대개 운동을 많이 하는 사람들은 아주 날씬합니다. • 예쁜 새 한 마리가 눈이 하얗게 온 나무위에 앉아 있습니다. • 정일병이 김선생님이 빌려준 책을 미스양한테 주었습니다.

2. Two or more clauses or sentences may be connected to form a complex sentence. In such cases, various connectives serve to link them. • 봄에 비가 많이 오고 날씨가 따뜻, 하면 농사가 아주 잘 된다고 합니다, . • 어제는 과수원에서 일하면서 노래도, 하고 이야기도, 하고 점심도,

Page 130: Grammar Korean

먹었습니다. 3. The last sentence structure (VI) is peculiar to Korean. English and other western

있다languages do not have it. Similar to this is the expression of possesion with . • 박하사가 딸이 있습니다. Sgt. Park has a daughter. • 장성호씨가 큰 농장이 있습니다. Mr. Chang has a big farm.

거든거든거든거든Expressing Condition Using The conditional pattern -거든 is similar in meaning to - 으 면( ) . -거든, however, ismainly used when the subsequent clause is an imperative or propositional clause, whereas - 으 면( ) is not limited as such. 대통령 후보자와 지지자가 이야기하고 있습니다(supporter) . --대통령선거가 며칠 안 남았군요! --The presidential election is just around 이번에는 꼭 되실 거에요. the corner!

Note:

-거든 요( ) is also used in casual conversation to provide information that the hearer lacks, on the basis of which additional remarks are to be made. A sentence with this ending typically explains something within the context. It is similar to short English phrases attached to the end of a sentence, such as you know or you see. • 제가 그 후보자를 좋아하거든요. I like the candidate, so I'm going to vote

그래서 그 후보를 찍을 거에요. for him. • 내일 아침에 조금 늦게 출근 I'll be late getting into the office tomorrow

"Even" "Verb stem + (아/소)한" means even though. A similar form used with a noun is "noun + ( 같)라한." The English equivalent in this case would be even, even though, or at least and may be used to denote compromise, regarding a choice between options the speaker ordinarily would not make. For example, "I'm so hungry that I could even eat your cooking."

When -(같)라한 is added to a question word or an indefinite noun such as 누친, 언제, 소어, 너무, and 아너, it emphasizes their meaning. • 심심해 죽먹사죽 재같 있지하 I am bored to death, so please 아너자라한 좀 주주해. give me any book.

Expanding Conjectural Statements -먹돌이다, -(지)ㄹ 것같다 , and -(지)ㄹ 것 같다 each indicate some degree of conjecture, speculation, or uncertainty. In addition to these forms, Korean speakers will commonly use "verb stem + (지)ㄹㄹ죽(해)" in more colloquial speech. The English equivalents would be most likely or probably.

Near Misses and Close Calls In English, adverbs--including nearly, almost, and narrowly--are used in descriptions of accidents or blunders that one is fortunate enough to avoid at the last moment. In Korean, a structural pattern, "verb stem + (지)ㄹ 뻔 조다," is used.

과고같 아아재 일소난 일재 대조끓 같이이이이다. --오오 아아재 중다피 날 뻔 했소. --과고동같해? --그래, 주자고재재 자 주서 자우피 찾지어다, 천천천 피다 있소사죽 갑자이 소어 바가 같사 끓자피 자 앞지지 뛰소 나와재, 그 끓자피 며 뻔 했소. 천천천 피지 않않지하, 중다피 냈곳 자이. 조끓하 주자주 자우피 조나 밖재 없소재 조지만 늦소소한, 주자피 못주 뻔 했지. --큰일 날 뻔 했됐해.

--I nearly had an accident this morning. --Who? You, sir? --Yeah, I was driving slowly in the parking lot, trying to find a parking space when suddenly this idiot of a woman ran out in front of my car and I almost hit her. Had I not been driving slowly, I could have had an accident. If I had been even a little bit late, I would have been unable to park, since there were no more open parking spaces. --You nearly got into big trouble.

바사재 }

Expanding Cause and Effect Expressions -이 때때재, -아/소재, and -(지)이까 express cause and effect. "Verb stem + 사 바사재" or "noun + 바사재" also can be used to express a cause and effect. It is rendered as because (of), under the influence of, as a result of, on account of, or due to. One can use this pattern in assigning blame. 중다 낸 운텔자피 경경저저 중사 경위피(situation) 설설이이다. --중다피 소어어 났돌이까? --앞 자피 갑자이 재사 바사재 났돌이다. --왜 자피 갑자이 섰돌이까? --옆 자피 자우곳 넘소 친소 오사 바사재 그 자피 우 것 같영해. --아, 옆 자 바사재 앞 자피 급정자했됐해. --네, 제피 옆 자피 가다피 앞 자피 급정자조사 것곳 못 가사 바사재 그 자와 충돌했돌이다.

--How did the accident happen? --It occurred because the car in front of me stopped suddenly. --Why did he stop? --I think he stopped because the car next to him crossed over the lane. --Ah, he stopped suddenly due to the car next to him. --I crashed into him because I was watching the car to his side and didn't see him suddenly stop.

verb stem + 사 noun

저미주사: You may have noticed 바사 within this pattern. It is the Korean equivalent of wind. As a variation, you may read or hear 그 바사재, the English equivalents of which include because of (that) and due to (that). 바사 suggests that something has occurred due to the influence or strength of another fact, event, or action.

Chapter 54

Emphasizing Extremes In English conversations, when stressing the extraordinary qualities or attributes of a person, an object, a task, or a concept, adverbs such as so, very, extremely, incredibly, and unbelievably are commonly used. In Korean, this is achieved through "끓시 + verb stem + 지 않다," which also indicates an extraordinary state or condition. Even though the form appears to be negative, the meaning is not. Negating the verb that follows it does indeed emphasize it, since the term 끓시 means average, normal, or regular.

Page 155: Grammar Korean

자자자 중다지 다친 환자저저 그 환자피 찾사 중때방같 묻돌이다. --좀 소어어이까? 다다다 죽사? --많같 나않소해. 그그지만 병병재 같그어 누누 있지이까 끓시 답답조지 않아해. --그그먹먹소해. 그저죽, 중다사 소어어 났소해? --퇴부 길같소소해. 그날 눈같 끓시 많같 오지 않않소해. 그래재 천천천 운텔곳 했소해. 그래한 길같 끓시 미미미지 않않소해. 교자지재재 좌좌텔조다피 미미그미재 중다피 났소해.

By the way, what caused the accident? --I was on the way home from work. There was an incredibly heavy snowfall, so, I drove slowly. The road was very slippery, nonetheless. I was making a left turn into the turn lane when the accident occurred.

"Catch" Versus "Be Caught" 다음사 다때재 난 이중입이다. 재서 자재경경재사 같사 집재 The Eastern District Police in Seoul reported 주만 주재피 상대지 지금곳 빼빼다 that Mr. Ji Sookeun (21, occupation: none, 흉이지 찔그 숨지어 저 지홍부 씨 Junggok 4-dong, Kwangjin-gu) was caught (21. 너무. 광지친 중중4자)피 6일 on the 6th. He killed a housewife who was 부근 슈슈 마마재재 잡잡다다 renting in the same house while he robbed 밝잡다. valuables from her. In English, you are most familiar with sentences in the active voice, in which the subject performs the action indicated by the verb and the object is the recipient of the action. In the passive voice, the object of the verb in an active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, while the subject of the active sentence becomes the agent or the doer of the passive sentence.

active voice passive voice

The citizens elected the mayor. The mayor was elected by the citizens. subject (direct) object subject agent

Page 156: Grammar Korean

There are also passive constructions used in a very general sense in which a definite agent is not mentioned or necessarily known: "Computers are used everyday." "Coffee is grown in Brazil." In Korean, the passive voice is not as commonly used as in English, although some Korean verbs have similar functions as does the passive voice in English. Korean passive verbs have the infix, -같/천/우/이-, between the verb stem and the ending. Two frequently used passive verbs are related to the senses, i.e., 가같다, be seen, or be visible, whose counterpart verb is 가다 , and 친우다, be heard, be audible, the counterpart of which is 듣다. However, not all active verbs have passive counterparts.

verb stem + 같같같같/천천천천/우우우우/이이이이 + verb ending

• 경경자피 길곳 막않돌이다. A police car has blocked the road. (경경자 때때재) 길같 막잡돌이다. The road is blocked (by a police car). • 경경같 범미곳 잡않돌이다. The policeman caught the suspect. 범미같 (경경저저) 잡잡돌이다. The suspect was caught (by the policeman).

Some common passive verbs derived from active verbs you have learned are listed below.

Expressing Unexpected Outcomes "Verb stem + (지)이까" expresses the reason for actions and conditions. Another function of this pattern can be rendered in English as when..., (I found that...).

Citing a Speaker's Request -아/소 주다/드우다, give, is added after the main verb, when you ask someone to do something or when you offer your help. 노조주 대대피 좌중주 대대조다 교교곳 이이다. --해친중요같 너무입이까? --What are your demands? --먼저 임지곳 15% 미상해 주어먹오. --Please raise wages by 15%. --좌중 입고한 좀 동생조생이지해. 7% --You have to consider the company's 미상해 주먹돌이다. position. We can raise them by 7%. --그사 곤곤이이다. --That will be hard to accept. The following radio news brief about the negotiations above includes various quotations. 저다한상주 노조노과 좌중노주 Negotiations between Hansin Corporation 교교같 중중중소돌이다. 노조노사 and their union have come to a halt. 15% 임지곳 미상해 달라다 해친 The union had requested a 15% wage hike, 했지만 좌중노사 7%만 미상해 but Hansin offered only a 7% wage increase.

주먹다다 했돌이다. 저다한상 The spokesman for Hansin said that the 좌중노 대대미같 주조이피 좌중피 company has been operating at a deficit 3년년 적자피 내다있다다 했돌이다. for the past three years. The first underlined part is the union's original request, whereas the second underlined part is what the company said they would do. Note that 주다 changes to 달라다 in the first part, where the speaker (union) is making a request for itself. On the other hand, in the second part, where the speaker is offering a service to someone else, 주다 does not change. Consequently, the polite form, 드우다, which is used when the speaker politely offers a service to someone else, will not undergo the change.

An Additional Function of “Noun + (같)나나나나 " "Noun + (같)나 " is used for choosing among options. --같이 주주재 재같나 바다재 갑먹다. --좋사 동생같재해.

--Let's go to the mountains or to the beach this weekend. --Good idea.

Page 159: Grammar Korean

저사 재같나 바다나 다 좋아해. I like both places. When 아너 (+ noun) and 나 are followed by either a positive or negative predicate, the clause will mean complete assertion or restricted negation, respectively. 아너 + (noun) + 나 add positive predicate complete assertion add negative predicate restricted negation

• 같 영영사 연소자입고피같이까 Because this movie is rated PG, 아너나 친소 갈 홍 있돌이다. anyone can enter. • 끓이사 민시미 출입지지 지번입이다. This is a restricted area to civilians. 아너나 친소 갈 홍 없돌이다. Not just anyone can enter.

noun + (같)나

There are two additional functions of this form.

Chapter 56

A. “...or so” When a quantity or amount is combined with -(같)나, the form often expresses a quantity exceeding the speaker's expectations and implies some surprise or emphasis. English equivalents of this form are ...or so and ...or more. --오오 먹위재 만 설같나 --They said that 10,000 or so people 참피했대해. participated in the demonstration. --그저죽, 경경같 천 설같나 --But, would you believe there were 있소대해. 1,000 or more policemen?

Page 160: Grammar Korean

More examples are: • 저사 소제 열 먹시같나 잤소해. Man, I slept over ten hours or so yesterday. • 돈곳 백만 병같나 빌어 You are asking me to loan you 1,000,000 달라친해? won?! When used as part of a question, noun + (같)나 still expresses an emphasis. --지조철 아파저 지 며며같나 --About how long has it been since the 중소소해? subway strike started? --벌벌 중사같나 중소소해. --It's already been three days or so. 언제나 아파같 끝날까해? (About) When is it going to end? --글글해, 누피 알먹소해? --I dunno, who can say? More examples are: • 손동같 몇 설같나 오사지 I don't know about how many guests 모모먹소해. are coming. • 김우동동 딸사 몇 살같나 중소소해? About how old is Mr. Kim's daughter? • 돈같 얼마나 있소해? (About) How much money do you have?

Chapter 56

B. "Do you want to go camping or something?" Sometimes "noun + (같)나" means a selection from among other things, when the noun does not mean quantity or amount. The English equivalent for this use is ...or something (like that). --배피 다고죽 밥같나 먹먹먹다. --I'm hungry. Let's just eat some rice --밥같 없소해. 오오사 빵같나 or something. 먹먹먹다. --We don't have rice. Today let's eat bread or something (like that). More examples are: • 주주재 등재같나 갈까해? Shall we go mountain climbing or something this weekend? • 놀지 주다 재같나 좀 읽소해. Don't play around--read a book or something like that.

Formation of Verbs The Korean verb consists of two to four elements. Basically, the stem indicates the meaning, the honorific infix the register, the tense infix time, and the ending the function of the verb in a sentence.

모자이다 -→ 모자다 저입니다 → 저 ㅂ니다 → 접니다 어디인가 → 어디 ㄴ가 → 어딘가 Rule 2. When an 으-ending is preceded by a verb stem which ends in a vowel, drop 으. 보으면 → 보면 오으니까 → 오니까 주으세요 → 주세요 가은 → 간 하을 → 할

Rule 3. When an 어-ending is preceded by a verb stem which ends in a vowel other than ㅏ or ㅗ, follow the following rules: ㅓ + 어 → ㅓ (서어요 → 서요; 어 is dropped.) ㅜ + 어 → ㅝ (주어요 → 줘요; ㅜ and 어 are contracted to ㅝ.)* ㅡ + 어 → ㅡ (크어요 → 커요; ㅡ is dropped.) ㅣ + 어 → ㅕ (키어요 → 켜요; ㅣ and 어 are contracted to ㅕ.)* ㅐ + 어 → ㅐ (내어요 → 내요; 어 is dropped.) ㅔ + 어 → ㅔ (세어요 → 세요; 어 is dropped.)* Rule 4. When an 어-ending is preceded by a verb stem which contains eitherㅏ or ㅗ: a. Change 어 to 아 when the stem ends in a consonant. 살어요 → 살아요 좋어서 → 좋아서 찾어도 → 찾아도 b. When the stem ends in a vowel, follow the following rules: ㅏ + 어 → ㅏ (What actually happens is: 가어요 → 가아요 → 가요) ㅗ + 어 → ㅘ (What actually happens is: 보어요 → 보아요 → 봐요*)

Note: 1. This is a simplified outline of basic rules governing the contraction/combination of vowels. Therefore, there are some exceptions to the rules given above. Specifically, most irregular verbs and a few regular ones do not follow the above rules. Thus: 이어요 doesn't contract to 여요 but changes 어 to 에, resulting in 이에요, 살으면 loses 으 and results in 살면 although the stem ends in a consonant, and 되어요/시어요 frequently contracts to 돼요/세요. 2. An 어-ending is any ending beginning with 어, but an infix 었 also behaves like an 어-ending when it comes after a vowel. An 으-ending is any ending beginning with 으, including 은, 을, and 음. 3. * indicates that the contraction is optional for some verbs such as 주다 and 보다.

Note: 1. This table only shows sentence-final verb endings for regular verbs in present tense, assuming the verb stem ends

in a consonant (except -읍니다, -읍니까, and -은다) and does not containㅏ or ㅗ. When the verb stem ends in a vowel and/or containsㅏor ㅗ, the initial 어 and 으 in the endings may undergo a change following the vowel contraction rule.

2. Choosing the right verb ending from among the many options listed in a given category above depends largely upon the type of verb such as action, stative, equation, and existence; degree of intimacy between speakers; personal preference of styles; and intended meaning.
