Now time to make sentences: for example let’s use the phrase “this person is a doctor”. The first step it to transform it using the korean sentences structure, so it would look like “that person는 doctor is”. And now we can write it like this:
그 사람은 + 의사 + 이다 = 그 사람은 의사야 (informal) / 그 사람은 의사예요 (formal)
Examples: you can copy these and try to form the sentences by yourself or you can make your own using these only as examples/a guide.
this person is a teacher: 이 사람은 선생님 이다 = 이 사람은 선생님이야 / 이 사람은 선생님이예요
this (thing) is a table: 이것은 탁자 이다 = 이것은 탁자야 / 이것은 탁자예요
that (thing) is a bed: 저것은 침대 이다 = 저것은 침대야 / 저것은 침대예요
that person is a man: 그 사람은 남자 이다 = 그 사람은 남자야 / 그 사람은 남자예요
this (thing) is a tree: 이것은 나무 이다 = 이것은 나무야 / 이것은 나무예요
Hello everyone, so this is basically me reviewing basic stuff. One of the hardest things to remember when I just started to learn korean was the structure of the sentences so I will share some of my notes with you.
The 2 basic structures are:
S.O.V : Subject - Object - Verb
S.A : Subject - Adjective
*The subject:
-does the action of the Verb
-it’s something that is acting. So it can be a person, a thing or a noun.
*The object: it’s to whatever the Verb is acting on.
Always remember:
Sentences with adjectives WILL NOT have an Object
EVERY sentence must to end with a Verb or an Adjective
三촌 (삼촌)= uncle (your uncle is three steps away from you in the family tree)
三각형 (삼각형)= triangle (three sided shape)
四 = 사 (넉 사): four
四계절 (사계절)= four seasons
정四각형 (정사각형)= square
직四각형 (직사각형)= rectangle
四촌 (사촌)= cousin (your cousin is four steps away from you in the family tree)
문법
N: noun
AV: action verb
DV: descriptive verb
V: verb
Book: Learn Korean with BTS 1 - Lesson 5: 한강공원에서 라면을 먹어요
1)N에서
it’s used to point out a place where an activity takes place.
the main pattern is: N에서N을/를AV아요
예) 저는 편의점에서 빵을 사요
remember:
N에 있어요/없어요 → 저는 마트에있어요
N에 가다/오다 → 저는 마트에가요
N에서AV아요/어요 → 저는 마트에서쇼핑해요
2)V(습)니다
it’s used to express something politely in a formal situation (self-introductions, presentations, news, etc), and when you are meeting someone for the first time
if the V ends with…
- a consonant, use 습니다
- a vowel or ㄹ, use ㅂ니다
the question form is (습)니까?
in the case of N would beN입니다, and N입니까?
it’s used to conjugate…
-AV → 빵이 맛있습니다
-DV → 옷이 예쁩니다
Happy learning and I hope everyone started the new year in the best way possible! ^^
Hello! Finally I’m back! Now let’s start over, I will re-post the days I already posted, but this time I will do it all complete so it can be more useful
(this link goes to her Anki page that you can download and import on your own anki to use it)
What I personally did was import it into my anki, export it as a txt. file and then pasted it on an excel file. So in that way I have the list of all the vocabulary for a better self-control and I copy them in my memrise deck. On excel I highlight in yellow the words I already know and in green the ones I don’t know and I need to add to my vocabulary deck.
This deck has over 5000 words so you will use it for a good while hahah.
Grammar
Talk to me in Korean (TTMIK) Lessons
I was using the Korean in Grammar In Use books (I finished the first one and I started the first chapter of the second one) and I highly recommend them but right now I’m really busy with college so I had to squish my time to study Korean. That’s why I decided to use the lessons TTMIK offers since they are short and I can do them faster.
Extra
Daily Routine in Korean by TTMIK
I finished this book a few days ago and it was really helpful now that I’m more advanced in my learning (I tried to use it when I just started and it was impossible for my brain to remember the phrases and make them make sense).
This deck is made by me with all the resources I have used so far for vocabulary til now. The levels are divided in 1000 words each cause I think that helped better with my organization. If you decide to use it, I hope it can be helpful for you ^^
I made this one using the guide of Hanja made by How To Study Korean (link). It’s a great guide, and I recommend it if you are interested on learning some hanja. My deck has 260 hanjas that I found the most useful and interesting. Right now I’m not studying hanja anymore cause I think the ones I learned are enough according to the level where I am now, and I wanna use that time to learn more things in Korean properly. That’s why, if you wanna learn them all I recommend you the guide made by How To Study Korean.
I hope this can be truly helpful for anyone who needs it. I will try my harderst to post more often, specially lessons and vocabulary lists. Thank you to everyone who follows the blog, I hope it can be useful to yall. And also thank you for everyone who follows me on Instagram (@/itslostfocus) where I post daily pics -not so daily, sorry I’ve busy- of my progress learning Korean.
