Easiest Korean Particles

N처럼, N같이

N마다

N쯤

N이나

N처럼, N같이 = Like [Noun]

Usage: Kind of like a “simile” in English and it corresponds to “like” or “as”. When you want to express that an action appears the same or similar to the noun you attach 처럼 or 같이 to.

Note: 처럼/같이 are often used metaphorically to compare characteristics by comparing them to other things.

Examples:

그 남자는 말처럼 빨리 달려요. He runs as fast as a horse.

지민 씨는 천사같이 노래해요. Jimin sings like an angel

그녀의 머리는 아이돌처럼 예뻐 보여요.

Her hair looks as pretty as an idol.

N마다 = Every [Noun]

Usage: This is attached to nouns that express a time - time nouns. To indicate the repetition of the same/similar situation or behavior over a set period of time. It can be translated as “every”, “each”, “once every“. It’s added directly next to the time noun being described.

Examples:

주말마다 여행을 가요. I go on a trip every weekend.

금요일마다 친구를 만나고 외식을 해요. Every Friday I meet my friends and (we) go out to eat.

우리 집에는 방마다 티비가 있어요. There’s a tv in every room in (our)my house.

Note: It can also be added to non time nouns - regular nouns.

Ex: 학생마다 달라요. Each student is different.

No need to add it to words that have 매 in them as it indicates “every ___”

매일 (everyday) → 매일마다 (X)

날 (day) → 날마다 (everyday)

N쯤 = About [Noun]

Usage: It’s added to nouns that represent numbers, times, and quantities. It indicates an approximation - “about” or “around”.

Examples:

넌 열다섯 살 쯤 되어 보여요. You look about 15 years old.

한시쯤 어때요? 수업이 열두시 오십분에 끝나요.

How’s around 1 o’clock? My class ends at 12:50.

우리는 일년쯤에 중국에서 중국어를 공부할 거예요. We will study Chinese In China for around a year.

Extra Notes:

When referring to approximate prices, ‘Noun쯤 하다’ is used more often than just ‘Noun쯤이다’.

Example:

사과는 세개에 이천원쯤 해요.

Apples cost about 2000 won for 3.

N이나 = Noun Or Noun

Usage: This actually has 3 usages, but we will focus on the main one which means “or”. It can only be attached to nouns. One of the two or more listed nouns will be chosen. (거나 means the exact same, but is attached to verbs instead)

Form:

Consonant - 이나

Vowel - 나

Examples:

목이 말라요. 물이나 차를 마시고 싶어요. I’m thirsty. I want to drink water or tea.

구두나 가방을 살 거예요. I’ll buy some shoes or a bag.

토요일에나 일요일에 운동해요. I exercise on Saturday or Sunday. (You can attach 나 to 에 or leave 에 out and just use 이나)

PRACTICE SECTION:

Something to keep in mind is that when you are using these particles you do not need to also attach the subject or object particles to them!

TRANSLATE EACH

1.) We go to Itaewon every Saturday night.

2.) I went to the hospital around 10:30 am.

3.) We talked for about 4 hours.

4.) My sister can dance like Jhope.

5.) Every 2 hours I drink water or tea.

Quick Explanation :

작다 = Small

짧다 = Short

However, both of these words have quote a few meanings so let’s look at them now

작다 = Small

1. Small; little [lower than others or average in length, area, volume, etc.]

Ex: 키가 작아요 = I’m short (have a small height)

2. Small (fit) [Not fitting since the size is smaller than required.]

Ex: 새 구두가 너무 작아요 = These new shoes are too small.

3. Small; Little [Lower than others or average in magnitude, scope, degree, importance, etc.]

Ex: 작은 문제 = A small problem

4. Low; Weak [for volume - Low or weak.]

Ex: 작은 목소리 = A small voice

5. Narrow-minded [(for character, thoughts, etc.) Narrow and not great.]

Ex: 그는 마음이 매우 작아 = He’s so narrow minded.

6. Small (amount) [Low in amount or denomination.]

Ex: 예날에 천원도 작은 돈이 아니었어요. = In the old days, even 1,000 won was not a small amount of money.

짧다 = Short

1. Short [The distance between the two ends of a space or object being close]

Ex: 지수는 긴 머리를 남자처럼 짧게 잘랐어 = Jisoo cut her long hair short like a guys (hair).

2. Short [The time period between two points in time being brief.]

Ex: 우유는 유통 기간이 짧으니까 얼른 먹어야 해 = The milk expiration date is short, we have to finish it quickly

3. Short [The length or number of a text or words being short or small.]

4. Deficient [Inadequate in the amount or level of capital, ideas, ability, etc.]

Ex: 저는 영어가 짧습니다 = My English is not good.

WAYS TO USE IT:

Number One: Use To Describe Nouns

작다 → 작 + 은 = 작은 [Noun] = A small [Noun]

짧다 → 짧 + 은 = 짧은 [Noun] = A short [Noun]

Examples:

키가 작은 여자 = A woman who is short (who was a small height)

짧은 치마를 입다 = to wear a short skirt

Number Two: Add -게

-게 is used to turn verbs and adjectives into adverbs. It can be like adding an ‘ly’ to some words. Or you can think of it as meaning ‘In a manner that is…’

작게 - In a manner that is small

짧게 - briefly, in a manner that is short

Examples:

글씨를 아주 작게 쓰세요. = Please write the letters very small

1(일)인치 더 짧게 해 주세요. = Make it an inch shorter.

Number Three: At The Very End Of A Sentence

The regular conjugation

Examples:

새로운 생각이 짧아요 = I’m short on Ideas.

그녀의 목소리는 너무 작아요 = She has such a tiny voice.

How to conjugate Nouns in Korean

What is a noun?

A noun is a person, a place, or a thing

Person example - 학생 (student)

Place example - 공원 (park)

Thing example - 티비 (tv)

You can’t end a sentence with just a noun, because it would be incomplete.

Ex: 저는 학생 ❌

The verb always goes at the end if a sentence, so in order to make the above sentence complete we must attach a new ending to it.

This ending is 이다 and it means “to be”. This CANT be attached to verbs - only nouns. For example, your name is a noun. (민지다 ~ to be Minji)

You’ve probably seen it In it’s conjugated form: 이에요 / 예요 (Is / Am / Are)

The rule you must remember here is that when the noun ends with a consonant (ㄱㄴㄷㄹㅁㅂㅅㅌㅍㅎㅋㅊㅈㅇ) you will always attach - 이에요.

When the noun ends with a vowel (ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅗㅛㅜㅠㅐㅔㅣㅡ) you will attach - 예요.

Once again these can only be attached to nouns (person, place, thing). Let’s bring back our previous examples:

Person example - 학생 (student)

Place example - 공원 (park)

Thing example - 티비 (tv)

학생 ends with ㅇ(ng) which is a consonant, so we’ll attach 이에요.

학생 (student) + 이다 (to be) = 학생이다 (to be a student) And then once 이다 is conjugated it becomes 이에요.

학생이에요 (Is a student)

Next example is 공원. If we look at the very last letter it’s ㄴ (a consonant) so we'll add 이에요

공원(park) + 이다 (to be) = 공원이다 (to be a park) > 공원이에요 (Is a park)

The last example is 티비 and this one is different from the others. The last letter is 이 (a vowel), so we’ll attach 예요 instead.

티비 (tv) + 다 (to be) = 티비다 (to be a Tv) > 티비예요 (Is a tv.)

Last reminder that 이에요 and 예요 CANNOT be used with verbs.

배우다 (to learn) can not be 배우예요❌ (배우 + 어요 = 배워요)

Neither can you use 아요/어요 on Nouns

물 (water) can not be 물어요❌ (물 + 이에요 = 물이에요)

Conjugating with different formality levels:

Formal is very easy. We just attach 입니다 to nouns, we’ll never use 습니다 when it comes to nouns.

Example:

물이다 > 물이에요 > 물입니다 = It’s water

티비다 > 티비예요 > 티비입니다 = It’s a TV

The informal form is similar to 이에요 and 예요.

When the nouns ends in a vowel ~ 야

When the noun ends in a consonant ~ 이야

Example:

물이에요 > 물입니다 > 물이야 = It’s water

티비예요 > 티비입니다 > 티비야 = It’s a tv

QUESTIONS:

입니까? = formal question ending

이에요/예요? = just raise your intonation

Examples:

가: 무엇입니까? (뭐예요?) = What’s this?

나: 의자입니다. (의자예요.) = It’s a chair

가: 한국 사람입니까? (한국 사람이에요?) = Is she Korean?

나: 네, 한국 사람입니다 (한국 사람이에요.) = Yes, she’s Korean

Practice Section:

conjugate and create sentences with each noun. you can pick one formality level or try to do them all

한국 = Korea

친구 = Friend

가방 = Bag

사과 = Apple

어머니 = Mother

4 Easy Korean Grammar

자마자, 아/어야 되다, 네요, 뿐만 아니라

There are 2 intermediate and 2 beginner grammar, although I think they are almost all around the upper beginner/low Intermediate range. Depending on your level, these will be very easy to learn compared to some other (more complicated) Korean grammar.

~ 자마자 (beginner)

~ 아/어야 되다 (intermediate)

~ 네요 (beginner)

~ (으)ㄹ뿐만 아니라 (intermediate)

V-자마자 = as soon as, right away

Usage: to Indicate that something occurs immediately after the end of some other event or action. It’s added to verbs and translated as “right after” or “as soon as” in English. -자마자 can also be shortened to just -자.

Base form → -자마자 = Ex: 보다 → 보자마자 - as soon as I see, as soon as I look, as soon as I watch

Examples:

수업이 끝나자마자 학생들은 교실을 나갔어요.

The students left the classroom right after class ended.

상자를 열자 오래된 책들과 문서가 보였습니다.

많이 vs 많아요

The first obvious difference would be that 많이 is an adverb and 많다 is an adjective.

많다 (adjective)

Definition: plentiful; many; a lot of

A number, amount, etc., exceeding a certain standard.

Use this when you simply want to describe that there is a large amount or number of something.

Examples:

어린이들은 친구가 많아요. = Kids have lots of friends.

선물이 정말 많아요! = That’s a lot of presents/gifts.

일이 정말 너무 많아요. = It’s too much work.

많이 (adverb )

Definition: much; in large numbers; in large amounts

In a state in which a number, amount, degree, etc., are larger than a certain standard.

This can be used in combination with another verb to describe the amount of something more specifically in relation to the verb. Adverbs usually are placed right before the verb.

Examples:

밥을 많이 먹어요. = I eat a lot (of food).

돈이 많이 있어요. = I have a lot of money.

운동을 많이 했어요. = I exercised a lot

There’s another form of 많다 : 많은

It is used before nouns to describe them. It has basically the same meaning as 많이 and the two can be used interchangeably in almost all cases.

Examples:

많은 사람 = a lot of people

많은 숙제 = a lot of homework

많은 영화 = a lot of movies

많은 책을 읽었어요. I read a lot of books. (Many books, I read)

책을 많이 읽었어요. I read a lot of books.

많이 있어요 vs 많아요.

There’s not much difference between these two. They can be used interchangeably.

Examples:

학생들이 많이 있어요. = There are a lot of students

학생들이 많아요. = There are a lot of students

The only difference is that 많이 can be used with a different verb at the end, but 많다 is a verb itself to it must always be at the end of the sentence.

More Examples Of 많다, 많이, & 많은 :

돈이 많아요! = There’s a lot of money!

돈이 많이 있어요. = I have a lot of money! / there is a lot of money!

많은 돈이 있어요 = I have a lot of money! / there is a lot of money!

돈이 많이 벌었어요! = I earned a lot of money!

많은 친구가 있어요 = I have a lot of friends

남동생은 밥이 너무 많이 먹어요 = My little brother eats too much

많은 열쇠를 갖고 있는데 올바른 열쇠를 찾을 수 없어 = I have a lot of keys, but I can't find the right keys

How To Say 100+ Things In Korean

Modal Auxiliary Verbs Lesson

⚠️Disclaimer: Most of these grammar constructions are best to study individually. I’ll leave a list of some grammar at the end, so you'll know what to go for.

What Is An Auxiliary Verb?

Auxiliary verbs, also known as helper verbs or helping verbs, are minor verbs that support the sentence's main verb to communicate complex grammar concepts like aspects of time or modality.

Auxiliary verbs are widely used in Korean. They are always used together with a preceding main verb. There are many, but today I’ll go over the main ones that you may have seen or heard before. I’ll also provide a list of more at the end of the post.

---

FORM: VERB + AUXILIARY VERB

Progressive auxiliary verbs (가다, 오다, 들다)

Verb stem + 아/어 가다/오다

To express the continuous performance of an action. The construction with the verb 오다 stresses that the movement comes toward the present and is continuous. The construction with the verb 가다 stresses that the movement progresses into the future, away from the present.

Examples:

우리는 중국에서 살아왔습니다.

We have lived in China.

그 일이 잘 되어 갑니다.

That work is going on well.

The verb 들다 is used after the stem of an action verb with the suffix - (으)러.

Verb stem + - (으)려 + 들다

This construction expresses the idea of getting down to action.

Example:

그 여자가 말하려 들면 그가 말하지 못하게 막아요. "When that woman tries to say something (starts to try), he doesn't let her talk."

---

Terminative auxiliary verbs (내다, 나다, 버리다, 말다, 빠지다, 치우다)

This auxiliary verb shows the action has been completed or finished. Each verb has a slightly different meaning.

내다- the action is finished completely despite difficulties.

버리다- the action is completed with no room to spare, something is done fully or completely.

빠지다 - one is displeased with the state mentioned in the preceding sentence.

Form - 아/어/여 내다, 버리다, 빠지다, 치우다. The verbs 나다 and 말다 are attached to the stem of the verb with the suffix - 고. Verb stem + -고 +나다 (말다)

Examples:

학생은 이 책을 끝까지 읽어 냈어요.

The pupil has read the book up to the end.

숙제를 하고 나서 잠을 잘 거에요.

I’ll go to bed after finishing my homework.

오늘 지하철에서 지갑을 잃어 버렸어요.

Today I lost my wallet in the subway. (completely)

---

Donatory auxiliary verbs (주다, 드리다)

Verb stem + 아/어/해 주다 ( 드리다)

This is a grammar structure that shows the action is performed for the benefit of somebody. 드리다 is the honorific form of 주다.

Example:

동생은 어머니를 도와 드렸어요. My little brother helped our mother.

이것을 설명해 주시겠습니까? Could you explain this to me, please?

Exploratory auxiliary verbs (보다)

Verb stem + 아/어 +보다

This form shows that a person attempts to make an action or has the experience of doing something.

Example:

선생님의 말을 들어 보세요. Listen to the teacher.

김치를 먹어 보세요. Please try (eating) Kimchi.

---

Retentive auxiliary verbs (놓다, 두다)

Verb stem + 아/어 놓다 ( 두다)

This grammar is used to show that the action is completed and can't be changed or is done for some future use.

Example:

문을 열어 놓았어요. I left the door open.

이 책은 책상에 놓아 두세요. Put this book on the desk, please.

Stative auxiliary verbs (있다, 지다)

Constructions with this auxiliary verb show that the action or state continues to exist. Note: The verb 있다 is attached only to action verbs.

Example:

그 남자는 문 앞에 서 있었어요. This man was standing in front of the door (the process).

~~The verb 지다 can be used with both action verbs and descriptive verbs. When it is used with action verbs, it forms a passive voice sentence.~~

Example:

옥수수가 잘 삶아져서 먹기가 좋은데요. The corn is good to eat because it has been boiled well.~~

When the verb 지다 is used with descriptive verbs, it expresses the intensification of the state. (To become)

Example:

날씨가 아주 따뜻해지고 있습니다. It is getting very warm.

---

Negative auxiliary verbs (말다, 않다, 아니하다, 못하다)

Verb stem + - 지 말다 (않다, 못하다)

These auxiliary verbs are used to form negative sentences. However, the verbs 않다 has a neutral meanings, the verb 못하다 has connotations of inability (can't), and the verb 말다 is used to negate verbs in the imperative and propositive forms (negative commands and requests - don’t do).

Examples:

일요일에 회사에 가지 않습니다. On Sunday, I don't go to my office.

이 식당에서 담배를 피우지 마십시오. Please do not smoke in this restaurant.

우리는 자주 만나지 못합니다. We can't meet often.

---

Periphrastic auxiliary verb 하다

There are a lot of grammatical constructions with this auxiliary verb in Korean, with various meanings. Some of them are:

게 하다 forms causatives. (Force someone, make someone);

Example:

부모님은 아이를 공부하게 합니다. Parents make their children study.

아/어야 하다 shows that something must be done. (Have to, should)

Example:

건강할 때 건강을 지키야 합니다. You must treat your health while you are healthy.

곤 하다 indicates the action was repeated regularly. (used to do something.)

Example:

나도 독일로 출장을 가곤 했습니다. I used to go on business trips to Germany.

Here's a list of some of the grammar for you to study independent of this post.

~ 아/어 버리다

~ 고 나서 & 고 말다

~ 고 있다

~ 아/어 보다

~ 아/어 놓다/두다

~ 고 싶다

~ 아/어 있다

~ 아/어 지다

~ 아/어야 하다

~ 게 하다

Example: 친구가 지금 기다리고 있습니다.

My friend is waiting now.

✨Desiderative auxiliary verb (싶다)

This auxiliary verb is used after the stem of the main verb with the suffix -고. This form expresses the wish to do something.

✨Verb stem + -고 싶다

학생들이 재미있는 책을 읽고 싶어해요. The students want to read an interesting book.

✨Extra notes for 보다 (exploratory auxiliary verbs)

Shall I send this parcel by sea mail?

- Yes, do that.

Grammar You Can Use Instead of -지만 and -는데

I played soccer yesterday, but I didn't play it for long.

I'll come to the party, but I might arrive late.

The Different Usages Of -는데

USAGES:

> presenting background circumstances (middle of the sentence)

> presenting background circumstances (end of the sentence)

> requesting information

> requesting agreement or compliance

> expressing disagreement, corrections or discontent

> expressing counter-expectation or exclamation

MOST COMMON USAGE :

presenting background circumstances (middle of the sentence)

when it is used in the middle of a sentence to connect 2 clauses, -는데 provides some background information for the message to be delivered in the next clause/sentence.

[ Clause A ]는데 [ Clause B ]

[ Background ]는데 [ Message ]

Example:

오늘은 바쁜데 내일 만나도 괜찮을까?

I’m busy today, can we meet tomorrow?

In the first clause, the speaker says that they are busy today and this provides the background for the message (that they would like to meet tomorrow instead). There are many reasons why speakers need to provide background information. In the example above, it explains why meeting today would be inconvenient.

presenting background circumstances (end of the sentence)

when using -는데(요) at the end of a sentence, It's also used to introduce the background for a new topic for the listener. In this case, the second clause/sentence is left out. It's used often in news reports.

More examples:

모니터 캐이블 사러 왔는데요.

I’ve come here to buy a monitor cable.

부탁 하나 있는데요.

I have a favour to ask.

requesting information

는데(요) is often used to request more information from the listener. In this instance, the speaker is saying they need to know the situation and are trying to elicit elaboration, clarification or confirmation from the listener.

Example:

일본 언제 가는데?

When are you leaving for Japan?

Here the speaker is requesting more details about the background circumstances than what was provided. -는데 signals the listener to elaborate more on the situation.

This instance of 는데 is sometimes used sarcastically or to ‘play cool’.

Example:

뭔데?

What’s that?

Here the speaker shows disinterest and requests the listener to provide a suitable answer. It can sometimes be like saying ‘Tell me why I should care’.

requesting agreement or compliance

는데(요) is sometimes used to request agreement from the listener. In this instance, the speaker is prompting the listener to see their situation.

Example:

날씨가 추운데.

The weather's pretty cold, isn’t it?

Here the speaker is making an observational statement about the weather conditions. 는데 signals the listener to see the speaker’s situation and be in agreement about it.

Similar to how requesting agreements prompts the listener to see another person's situation, 는데(요) can be used to request compliance.

Examples:

나 지금 공부하고 있는데.

I’m studying right now.

Here the speaker is making an indirect request from the listener. By asking them to read between the lines, the listener can infer which action to take. For example, if someone else is playing loud music, the person who's studying may say the sentence above.

expressing disagreement, corrections or discontent

는데(요) is sometimes used to express disagreement with the listener. In this instance, the speaker is saying that’s not the situation and are expressing their views on the matter. This ending makes the sentence a bit softer, when expressing "negative" feelings or simply correcting what someone else said.

Example:

사투리가 아닌데요.

It’s not a dialect.

Here the speaker is expressing disagreement over some information. 는데 expresses the state of affairs as being different from the listener’s perspective. This prompts the listener to take whatever corrective measures necessary.

Note that speakers are sometimes confrontational or show their discontent when saying that’s not the situation.

Examples:

철수 is confronting 영희

A: Do you have anything to apologise for?

B: 없는데.

B: No (and why would I).

나도 쿠키 좋아하는데.

I too like cookies (how come I didn’t get one?)!

expressing counter-expectation or exclamation

는데(요) is sometimes used to express surprise or exclamation. In this instance, the speaker is saying that’s not the situation I was expecting and is expressing their sudden realisation.

Example:

와, 우리 딸 노래 잘한데.

Wow, our daughter really sings well.

Here the speaker states their surprise realisation over the discovery. -는데 expresses the state of affairs as being different from what they were expecting.
