hello~ i adore your blog! i've been trying to study korean for a year but I never really had motivation, but since i found your blog ive been motivated again ^^ i have a question that you may already have answered, but ive noticed -고 and -도 placed at the ends of words (아직 - 아직도, 사랑해 - 사랑하고) and i'm wondering what they do to the word? does it change the tense or how its used..? sorry to bother you~ thanks!
안녕하세요~~ Thank you for your kind words! :3 -고 and -도 are particles and they are really easy to use. -고 means ‘and’ and it helps connect two sentences together. -고 is a shortened form of 그리고, which also means ‘and.’ It simply attaches to the end of the verb stem.
Example:
어제 저는 책을 읽었어요. 그리고 김밥을 먹었어요. –> 어제 저는 책을 읽고 김밥을 먹었어요.: Yesterday I read a book and ate kimbap.
Notice how when using 그리고 there are two sentences. These sentences both have to be conjugated into past tense. Using -고 creates more complex sentences. Also, when using -고 you don’t have to conjugate it into any tense, you only use the verb stem because the ending verb (in this case 먹었어요) will reveal when these actions took place/will take place.
-도 is also really easy to use! -도 means ‘also’ or ‘too’ and attaches to the end of nouns.
Example:
저는 미국사람이에요. 마이크도 미국사람이에요.: I am American. Mike is also American.
Pretty simple, right? -도 is basically just used to show similarities between two nouns.
If you have any further questions about these particles, or you are curious about something else, feel free to ask! Hope this helps~^^
Hello, I've got a question. When do you speak "ㄹ" R and when L? I can fluent read and write korean but "ㄹ" is my only problem. Pleas help me! Thank You for all the things you taught us on this site. 감사함니다.
okay so this is pretty awkward because just like in english and other languages theres words that just don’t apply BUT as a general rule:
at the start of a word ㄹ is pronounced more like an R e.g: 라디오 (radio)
at the end of a word ㄹ is pronounced more like an L e.g: 정말 (jeongmal)
when there are two ㄹs together it’s also pronounced like an L e.g: 빨리 (bballi)
if the ㄹ comes just before a vowel or a filler & a vowel like this: 하루 (haru) or 돌아와 (dorawa) then it’s pronounced more like an R
and if it comes before a consonant e.g: 말해봐 (malhaebwa) then it’s pronounced more like an L
that’s all i’ve got :) hope it helps anon & thanks for the question~
EXO- Call Me Baby Vocabulary

혼란스러운 (honranseureoun): chaotic, confusing

Hello~ I'm sorry to bother but is there a difference between A.M. and P.M.? Also, do you use Sino-Korean (일, 이, 삼, 사...) or Traditional Korean (하나, 둘, 세/셋, 네/넷...) numbers? I'm still learning, and I would like to practice saying the time. Thank you!
Hello! For saying the time, you use both sino-Korean and traditional Korean numbers. When expressing an hour, you will use traditional Korean numbers and for expressing a minute you will use sino-Korean.
Example:
A:지금 몇 시예요?: What time is it right now?B:오후 한 시 삼십 분이에요.: It’s 1:30 P.M.
A:몇 시에 친구를 만났어요?: At what time did you meet your friend?B: 오전 열 시에 만났어요.: I met my friend at 10 A.M.
A:언제 학교에 가요?: When do you go to school?B:오전 일곱 시 사십오 분에 가요. I go to school at 7:45 A.M.
When telling time, you need to use the hour and minute counter words. The word for hour/o’clock is 시 and the word for minute is 분. When telling the time, the number comes first and the counter follows, like 네 시 (4 hour) or 십 분 (10 minute). Also, the hour is said before the minute. If you want to express morning hours/A.M. (오전) or afternoon hours/P.M. (오후), you would list it before the time, like 오전 열 시 (lit. A.M. 10 o’clock). Another thing to note is that when the first four traditional Korean numbers are used, you will use a shorter form. So, when telling the hour, instead of saying 하나 시, you would say 한 시.
Short forms:
하나 —-> 한
둘 —-> 두
셋 —-> 세
넷 —-> 네
열하나 —-> 열한
열둘 —-> 열두

Hi :) I just want to tell that your blog is really helping me with studying Korean ^—^ Thank you so much for answering the questions. Have a nice day sweetie :3
Awww :3 Thank you so much! I’m glad this blog is helping you study~ I hope you have a wonderful day too!^^
Hey Amanda! I'm currently going to be going to university soon and I'm thinking of studying Korean. And as I see you are studying it, I felt like you could answer my questions! 1. What jobs can come out of it? 2. What do the lessons consist of. 3. Can it help with becoming an English teacher in korea? Thankyou!!
Hello~ There are many different jobs to come out with learning a second language. For one, many people who choose to study business might study languages because it’s impressive to companies who want to expand into a global market. Also studying languages like Korean can be useful for getting a job in the government as a translator or interpreter. Finally, learning Korean can be useful in teaching English abroad/teaching Korean in another country.
At my school, we have an “East Asian Languages and Literature” major/minor. The classes to get the major include taking three levels/years of the Korean language as well as taking classes in Korean literature as well as literature in other East Asian countries. My school is fairly small, so you should probably look into the Korean major that is at the university that you want to go to. They should tell you what the Korean major requirements are.
I am honestly not sure if studying Korean will help with becoming an English teacher in Korea, but I’m sure that it doesn’t hurt. Even if knowing Korean isn’t required to be a teacher, I still believe that taking Korean would be beneficial to the life you would live while teaching in Korea. Knowing at least some grammar and vocabulary would make it so much easier to speak to natives, and would help you make more connections in Korea. With all of this being said, even if you don’t want to major or minor in Korean, I would still recommend taking at least a year of Korean language because it helps you learn about the Korean culture and can teach you about various grammar patterns and vocabulary that will be useful while in Korea. Does anyone else have any information about teaching in Korea or jobs where knowing Korean is useful? If so, feel free to share your insight! Hope this helps~
Heyy :) Can you please explain the difference between 나는 , 당신이 and 저는 ?
안녕하세요~ 나는 is an informal way of saying “I” and is generally used with friends or people you are close to. The -는 in 나는 is a topic marking particle which I explain here. 저는 is the polite way of saying “I” and what I would recommend when you are speaking with strangers or people older than you or people that are your superiors in work.
당신이 is a way of saying ‘you’ but I would strongly advise against using it. Generally when you want to reference the person you are talking to, you say their name with the suffix -씨, which is more polite. For example if your friend was named 다연 and you wanted to ask her what she wanted to eat, you would say, “다연씨 뭣을 먹고 싶어요,” (다연 what do you want to eat?). Hope this helps~
Question~ can you give an example of a verb in past tense, present tense, and future tense in Korean? I've never really understood this. Please and thanks :)
Hi~ Korean verb conjugations depend on the final vowel of the verb stem. Here’s a brief overview of the present, past and future tenses~ Enjoy!
Present Tense:
To make the present tense, you find the verb stem, which is what ever comes before -다. Then, you add either -아요/-어요, depending on what the last vowel of the verb stem is. With stems where the last vowel is 오 or 아, -아요 is added to the end to make it present tense. These vowels are called ‘bright vowels.’
Example:
앉다 —-> 앉아요 (the verb stem is 앉- and the final vowel in the verb stem is 아)
찬열은 카페에서 앉아요. Chanyeol sits in the cafe.
좋다 —-> 좋아요 (the verb stem is 좋- and the final vowel in the verb stem is 오)
김치가 좋아요. The kimchi is good.
Stems where the last vowels are 어,우,으, or 이 have -어요 added to them to make present tense. These vowels are called ‘dark vowels’ They are conjugated just like the bright vowels are.
Example:
먹다 —-> 먹어요 (the verb stem is 먹- and the final vowel in the verb stem is 어 )
경수는 아이스크림을 먹어요. Kyungsoo eats ice cream.
있다 —-> 있어요 (the verb stem is 있- and the final vowel in the verb stem is 이)
남자진구가 있어요. I have a boyfriend.
Finally, there are special verbs that end in -하다. To conjugate these in present tense, you change -하다 to -해요.
Example:
노래하다 —-> 노래해요 (the verb ends in -하다)
백현이 노래해요. Baekhyun sings.
공부하다 —-> 공부해요 ( the verb ends in 하다)
저는 한국어를 공부해요. I study Korean.
Another thing to note is that for verb stems that end in 아, 애, 어, or 에 without a final consonant at the end, only -요 is added
Example:
가다 —->가요 (there is no final consonant in the verb stem)
어디에 가요? Where are you going?
자다 —-> 자요 (there is no final consonant in the verb stem)
동운이 자요. Dongwoon sleeps.
When a stem ends in any other vowel without a consonant, they become contracted.
Example:
보다- 봐요 (보- ends in a bright vowel without a final consonant, so -아요 is added to make 봐요)
텔레비전을 봐요. I watch T.V.
주다- 줘요 (주- ends in a dark vowel without a final consonant, so -어요 is added to make 줘요)
저는 선물을 줘요. I give a present.
These are the most common variants of present tense. There are, of course, irregular verbs, but right now let’s just focus on the basics okay?
Past Tense:
Once you know present tense, past is pretty simple. Once again, we conjugate based on the last vowel in the verb stem. There are three different endings: one for bright vowels, one for dark vowels, and one for -하다 verbs.For bright vowels, -았어요 is added to the verb stem. For dark vowels, -었어요 is added to the verb stem. For -하다, 했어요 is added to the verb stem.
Example:
가다 —-> 갔어요 (The stem ends in -아 which is a bright vowel, so -았어요 is used)
학교에 갔어요. I went to school.
읽다 —-> 읽었어요 (The stem ends in -이 which is a dark vowel, so -었어요 is used)
태민은 책을 읽었어요. Taemin read a book.
운동하다 —-> 운동했어요 (The stem ends in -하다, so -했어요 is used)
어제 친구하고 우동했어요. Yesterday my friend and I exercised.
Future Tense:
Future tense is much simpler than past and present. The conjugation of verbs in future tense depends on if the verb stem has a vowel at the end or a consonant. If the verb ends in a vowel -ㄹ 거예요 is added. If the verb ends in a consonant, -을 거예요 is added.
Example:
만나다 —-> 만날 거예요 (the stem ends in a vowel, so -ㄹ 거예요 is used)
내일 친구를 만날 거예요. Tomorrow I will meet my friend.
심다 —-> 심을 거예요 (the stem ends in a consonant, so -을 거예요 is used)
봄에 꽃을 심을 거예요. In the spring I will plant flowers.
So this is what most verbs will look like when conjugated in the past, present, or future. There are some exceptions and there are irregular verbs that are conjugated a little differently, and if you would like to get some clarification on them, feel free to send me a message, or if you have any questions in general. Hope this helps!^^
Hey there ^—^ Can I ask you when ㅅ is at the end how do you read it? Because in some words you read it like t ?
Hello~ When ㅅ is at the end it is read/spoken with a ‘t’ or ‘s’ sound, depending on what syllable comes next. When the next syllable starts with a consonant, it is said/read with a ‘t’ (ex: if you wanted to say 짓다 (to build) it would be pronounced ‘jitda’). But, if the next syllable starts with a vowel, like 맛있다 (to be delicious), the ‘s’ sound carries over. This means that 맛있다 is pronounced/read as 마싰다 or ‘masittda.’ Hope this helps!
