Let's Learn Korean: Lesson 11

 
Hello everyone! How have you all been? I would like to say sorry for not posting lately. This past few weeks is been a very busy weeks for me. Anyways since I'm back, I'm going to teach you another lesson. Actually this lesson is not new. In lesson 3, I taught you how to count. As you all remembered, there's two way of counting in Korean and that is Native counting and a Chinese derive counting. I taught you how to count in Chinese derive in Lesson 3 and I only taught you 1-10 for the Native Korean counting. In this lesson, I will tell you the Native Korean counting.

As you have seen in lesson 10, I started to show you my new way of teaching new Korean words, and that is by making it as a picture, so it's easier for all of you to read(?). The picture below is the Native Korean Counting.


I apologized for the blurriness of the pictures.

I have another set of table for more information for counting or stating some facts.



Remember!
  • the pattern that you learned in Chinese system is the same for native Korean.
  • When your counting referring on money just add 원 (weon) [won].
  • 원 (weon) [won] is what Koreans called their money.
I hope this lesson helps you. More lessons to come asap.
If you have a questions, DO NOT HESITATE to ask me anytime on my Facebook. I will answer you as soon as I can.

Thanks for all you patience! Hope you're having fun Learning Korean.

Let's Learn Korean!: Lesson 9



Another lesson is here. I can't believe that we are on lesson 9 already. Are you guys having fun learning? I hope you all are.

In this lesson, I will teach some grammar. A lot of you asked me some grammar questions and here is my answer.

Grammar

  • To form simple questions, you change the 다(da) in the end of each statement to 까(kka).


  • Korean NOUNS have NO articles such as (a, an, the) and NO plural forms whether the noun is singular or plural is judges from the context or by a number of modifying the noun.


  • ADJECTIVES are usually placed in FRONT of nouns, as in English.

               
             자 (cha)  means Car
             좋은 자 (chaw-un-cha) meanㄴ A nice car.

  • Korean VERB forms DO NOT vary between singular and plural, but change depending on who you are talking to and their status.


              VERBS/LEVELS OF POLITENESS

  • Korean has various levels of politeness depending on who you are talking to, for example, when having a drink with a friend, you use a very different style to that. You would use when addressing a meeting or talking to somebody for th first time. The level of politeness is shown principally by the verb ending. Although, English has formal and informal style os speech, it does not have the same all-inclusinve Korean system of verb endings indicating degrees of politeness


               For example,

                          가(ka) means Go =} informal
                          감니다(kam-ni-da) means I go, he/she go, we go, they go [depending on the context. No need to specify who.] =} formal

                                   therefore, you add ㅁ+니+다 to make it formal

안 (an) means no/not is added in front of the verb to indicate negation.

      WORD ORDER

  • In Korean the main verb always comes at the end if the sentence. So the sentence literelly reads as "to town am going."


  • The order of words in a Korean sentence is different from English. The basic rule is SUBJECT-OBJECT-VERB. Where as in English it is usually SUBJECT-VERB-OBJECT. Subordinate clauses, or additional information come last in the sentence.


     For example,
                  [English way] "My wife wore a new dress when she came home."
                  [Korean way] "My wife home came when (and) she wore a new dress."

Let's Learn Korean!: Lesson 8


Hi guys, it's been a while since my last article was posted here specially "Korean Lessons". I just finished my exam and everything went well.

Before my break, I leave a message asking a lot of you to suggests what lessons should I teach you. There are a lot of categories that came to me, for example, how to type in Hangul, and categories like expressions, animals, colors, and many more.

In this lesson, I will grant one of them and that is how to type in Hangul. There is a lot of you who asked me that; so I did some preparations right after I finished my exams. 

Are you ready?

So here we go.

To type in Hangul, we need to know what scripts is consonants and vowels. In the picture above, consonants and vowels is categorized. (just refer to that picture if you are unsure)

In Hangul, consonants comes first then vowel then consonants, that means vowels is always in the middle.

for example,

the word 
감 - ㄱ+ㅏ+ㅁ
ㄱ is a consonant
ㅏ is a vowel
ㅁ is a consonant

The second rule in typing or writing hangul is that there is a maximum of 4 scripts in a word and a minimum of 2.

for example,
사 -ㅅ+ㅏ(2)
싫 -ㅅ+ㅣ+ㄹ+ㅎ(4)
강 -ㄱ+ㅏ+ㅇ(3)

The third one is there should be 2 scripts per level .

for example,
찮-ㅊ+ㅏ+ㄴ+ㅎ
The first level has ㅊ+ㅏ(2), while the second level has ㄴ+ㅎ(2).

it can be 2 in the upper level and 1 in lower level.

for example,
녕-ㄴ+ㅕ+ㅇ
the upper level has ㄴ+ㅕ(2),while the lower level has ㅇ(1)

some word can look like a straight down depends on the vowel you used.

For example,
줗-ㅈ+ㅜ+ㅎ

The forth and last rule is you write your word from left to right. Just like how you write in English. There's a lot of questions like that when I check my twitter and facebook. Maybe they are confused because in the late years they used to write up-down, right-left. Don't be confused because they all use the same way as English today. (Japanese, Chinese, Korean)


If you are unsure about the topic, do not hesitate to ask questions in my facebook account.


Note:
I might not post Korean lessons like before (daily). I finished my exams but I will be busy with my upcoming business with my friend. BUT don't be disappointed because I will still try to post new lessons as soon as I can whenever I have free time.

I would like to say Thank You for all your patience.

너무 너무 감사함니다!! ^-^

Let's Learn Korean!: Lesson 6


Greetings and Farewells

One basic greeting in Korean takes care of "how do you do?", "how are you?", "good morning", "good afternoon", " good evening", and "hello"

In this lesson I will teach you some greeting and farewells. This lesson might be just a review for some of you.


Hello- 안녕하심니까 (annyeonghasimnikka) [an-niyong-hah-shim-ni-Ka]
안녕하세요 (annyeonghaseyo) [an-niyong-ha-seh-yo]
안녕 (annyeong) [an-niyong]

  • To respond properly, repeat the same phrase to the person who greets you, but add 네 (ne) [neh] to the beginning. For example, 네, 안녕하심니까? (ne, annyeonghasimnikka?) [neh, an-niyong-hah-shim-ni-Ka?]

Good night- 안녕히 주무세요 (annyeonghijumuseyo) [an-niyong-hee-joo-moo-seh-yo]
잘자요 (jaljayo) [chal-ja-yo]

Goodbye- 안녕히 가십시오 (annyeonghi gasipsio) [an-niyong-hee ga-ship-she-oh]
안녕 (annyeong) [an-niyong]

note:

  • Saying goodbye in Korean requires knowing who is staying and who will be leaving. Goodbye is "have a good stay" or "go in peace".

  • If the speaker is leaving and the other people stay, the speaker says 안녕히 계세요 (annyeonghi gyeseyo) [an-niyong-hee-ge-seh-yo].

  • If the speaker stays and the others leave, the speaker can say 안녕히 가세요 (annyeonghi gaseyo) [an-niyong-hee-gah-seh-yo]

  • If all parties are leaving, everyone can say 안녕히 가세요 (annyeonghi gaseyo) [an-niyong-hee-gah-seh-yo]

See you later- 나중에 봐 (najunge bwa) [na-jung-eh bwa]

See you soon- 또 봐요 (tto bwayo) [toh-bwa-yo]

Have a good time- 즐거운 시간 되세요 (jeulgeoun sigan dwiseyo) [jul-go-un she-gan-dwi-seh-yo]

Have a nice trip- 좋은 여행을했습니다 (joheun yeohaengeulhaessseubnida) [jo-hun-yo-heng-gul-haes-soob-ni-da]
Good Morning- 안녕히 주무셨어요 (annyeonghi jumusyeosseoyo) [an-niyong-hee-joo-moo syo-sso-yo]

Hello{when answering the phone}- 여보 세요 (yeobo seyo) [yo-boh-seh-yo]

How are you?- 잘 지냈어요? (jal jinaesseoyo) [jal ji-ness-oh-yo]

See you tomorrow- 내일 봐요 (naeil bwayo) [ne-eel bwa-yo]

Long time no see- 오래간만이에요 (oraeganmanieyo) [oh-re-gan-mani-eh-yo]

Nice to meet you- 만나서 반갑슴니다 (mannaseo pangapsumnida) [man-na-so-pang-kap-soom-ni-da]

Nice to meet you, too- 저도 만나서 반갑슴니다 (jodo mannaseo pangapsumnida) [cho-do man-na-so pang-kap-soom-ni-da]




You guys now learned how to say Korean greetings and farewells. Try it with you friends sometimes.
