Korean Grammar - Postposition Introduction(조사)

Hi. This is Admin Yu! The first grammar lesson of April is the overall introduction of postpositions(particles).

조사 Postposition / Particle

조사(postposition or particle) is a word that is attached to the back of another word to indicate the word’s grammatical role or to add special meaning. A postposition must be attached to a self-reliant word (usually substantive) to be used in a sentence. Because it comes at the back of another word, it’s called postposition. Particle is the alternative name for postposition in Korean. Postpositions can be divided into 격조사(position marking particle), 보조사(assistant postposition), 접속 조사(conjunction postposition) as used.

격조사 Position marking particle / Position marker

Postpositions that assign a word its grammatical role in a sentence are classified as 격조사(position marking particle or position marker). Through the position marking particle, a substantive or a phrase that acts like substantive can be used as 주어(subject), 목적어(object), 서술어(predicate) etc.

주격 조사 : subject marking particle, subject marker ex) 이/가 목적격 조사 : object marking particle, object marker ex) 을/를 보격 조사 : complement marking particle, complement marker ex) 이/가 서술격 조사 : predicate marking particle, predicate marker ex) 이다 관형격 조사 : adnominal marking particle, adnominal marker ex) 의 부사격 조사 : adverbial marking particle, adverbial marker ex) 로, 에게, 에서 호격 조사 : independent word marking particle, independent word marker ex) 아/야

Since a word’s grammatical role can be assigned by the postposition, words can be ordered rather freely in a sentence. Position marking particle can sometimes be omitted.

내가 너를 좋아해. = 너를 내가 좋아해. = 내가 너 좋아해. = I like you.

보조사 Assistant postposition(particle)

Postpositions that add special meanings but don’t assign grammatical roles are classified as 보조사(assistant postposition). These postpositions are often attached to substantives or adverbs.

ex) 은/는, 도, 만, 조차, 마저

나도 너를 좋아해. = I like you too.

접속 조사 Conjunction postposition(particle)

Postpositions that connect two or more words or phrases equally are called 접속 조사(conjunction postposition). Most of them can be translated to “and” or “or”.

ex) 과/와, (이)나, (이)랑, 하고

***

Our grammar lessons of April will be on the Korean postpositions. Postpositions can be a tough concept to understand for those whose first language doesn’t have the postposition system. Understanding the difficulty of the concept, we will be explaining Korean postpositions in full details for April. And our ask box is always open so feel free to ask us any questions!

Grammar: Why do we put ~는 것이다 at the end of some sentences?

You might've seen sentences like "뭐 하는 거예요?" and wondered why ~는 것이다 was added. It's actually pretty simple: if your sentence starts with a noun, it must end in one for the sentence to be grammatically correct. Hence why ~는 것이다, which is a nominalizer, gets added to the sentence. Let's see a few examples.

예문 1

내 꿈은 의사가 돼요. (X)

내 꿈은 의사가 되는 거예요. (O)

My dream is to become a doctor.

예문 2

시험을 끝나면 제일 좋아하는 할 일은 텔레비전을 봐요. (X)

시험을 끝나면 제일 좋아하는 할 일은 텔레비전을 보는 거예요. (O)

My favorite thing to do after finishing an exam is watching TV.

예문 3

교통수단을 쓰는 장점은 더 싸고 오염을 줄일 수 있어요. (X)

교통수단을 쓰는 장점은 더 싸고 오염을 줄일 수 있는 거예요. (O)

The advantage of using public transportation is that it's cheaper and can reduce polution.

[fromirelandtokorea]

Lesson #119: (을)ㄹ리가 없어요. There’s no Way:

“It can’t be” “There’s no way” “It’s impossible that” “I can’t believe that”

-Expresses disbelief at something that has been said, something that has happened or is happening in the moment. 

Conjugation: -Verb stem ending in ㄹ + 리가 없어요 -Verb stem ending with a vowel + ㄹ리가 없어요 -Verb stem ending in consonant other than ㄹ + 을리가 없어요

Examples: 정우가 할리가 없어요 - There’s no way Jungwoo did that. 그럴리가 없어! 진짜!? - It can’t be/No way! Really? 한솔 씨는 갔을리가 없어요 - I cannot believe Hansol went/There’s no way Hansol went

This grammar point is used to express that “there is no way that happened/was said” and can be useful when chatting to your native buddies if they spill some tea!!!! I hope it makes sense to you, if not just let me know! As I always say I am not a native speaker, I am an Irish teenager teaching herself Korean and trying to help others like me. I hope that my hiatus is officially over and that i can get back into making progress in my learning along with all of you!

Thank you, Caitlín xo

KOR-LOQUIAL LEARNING (하기 했다)

Learning Korean from a textbook is great, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes you can sound a little… unnatural. There are many things we use daily, such as filler words, or colloquial phrases. SO HERE’S SOME.. KOR-LOQUIAL LEARNING?.. Get it…? Many things cannot be directly translated, so let’s look at a couple examples. 

I mean I did, but.. / Technically I did.. / I know I did, but.. 

(동사)기 + (같은 동사 과거형)  (Verb)기 + (Same verb past tense) 

EX. 

A. “서울 숲 공원 어딘지 알아? 너 한번 가봤지”  A: “Do you know where that Seoul Forest Park is? You went there once, right?”  B: “분명 가기 갔는데..  어디 있는 건지는 모르겠다..”  B: “I know I went there, but I don’t know where it is. 

A: “이미 먹었다고? 그럼 디저트는 안 먹을래?  A: “You said you already ate? Then do you not want to get dessert?”  B: “먹기 먹었는데.. 너무 배부른건 아니어서 먹을 수 있어. 디저트 배는 따로 있잖아”  B: “I technically ate.. but I’m not too full. I could eat more. You know there’s a separate stomach for desserts.” 

As you can see, this is one of those phrases where you may have heard it, and even pretty much understood the context.. but never used it yourself. (듣기 들었는데…) So hopefully that helps a little bit! As always, another post coming soon so follow for that goodness, and if you have any questions / post suggestions let me know!

Convenience Store Vocabulary - 편의점 어휘

Hello everyone!! This post is based off an ask that I got recently! You may have noticed in your hometown (고향), that some convenience stores (편의점) are owned by Koreans! Sometimes, they will write things in Korean and English for their Korean and English speaking customers (and if they go the extra mile, there might be Chinese, too)! This is a good place to practice your spoken Korean with the workers / owners of the store.

If you want fruit vocabulary: Fruit Vocab - 과일 어휘 (QUIZLET) If you want vegetable vocabulary: Veggie Vocab - 채소 어휘 (QUIZLET) If you want shopping vocabulary: Shopping Vocab - 쇼핑 어휘 (QUIZLET)

If you want to know some basic 편의점 어휘, then follow along and tell me how it goes! 

To start, let’s first understand the word “편의점”:      ☆ 편 + 하다 = 편하다 - to be comfortable (adj.)      ☆ 점 - store

Another thing you need to know is that it is VERY common to go and eat at a 편의점. Here is some vocab you’ll need to know for that:

     ☆ 젓가락 – chopsticks       ☆ 라면국물 버리는 곳 – pour ramen water here      ☆ 플라스틱 – plastic      ☆ 쓰레기 – trash      ☆ 켄 – can      ☆ 병 – bottle 

But before you enter, you may see one of two signs on the door (문):

한금지급기 / 에이티엠 - ATM       ☆ 하금지급기 없음 - No ATM

고정문 - fixed door (don’t push on this, it won’t open)

With number 1, you might need to withdraw cash (예금출금), here is some small ATM vocab:

     ☆ 예금출금 – withdraw cash      ☆ 카드를 넣어주십시오 – please put your card in      ☆ (1) 만원 = 10, 000 won           ♡ 5 만원 = 50, 000 won           ♡ 10 만원 = 100,000 won      ☆ 명세표 – invoice      ☆ 영수증 – receipt      ☆ 현금 자동 지급기 – cash dispenser

Now you can buy your fave snacks / ramen! Here’s some vocab for when you’re at the cashier:

    ☆ 이 게 / 이 것이 얼마예요? – How much is this?     ☆ 비싸다 – to be expensive     ☆ ‘X’원입니다 - it is ‘x’ won     ☆ 결제 해드릴게요 – I’ll ring it up for you     ☆ 넣어 드릴까요? – would you like a bag?           ♡ 네, 넣으세요 - Yes, please bag it           ♡ 아니요, 그냥 들고 가겠습니다 – No, I will just carry it     ☆ 영수증이 필요하세요? – do you need a receipt?           ♡ 네, 영수증을 주세요 – yes, please give me a receipt           ♡ 아니요, 괜찮아요– No, it’s okay / I’m okay           ♡ OR: you can just say, “네 / 아니요”     ☆ 거스름돈 / 잔돈 – change     ☆ 또 오세요 – come again

Some food you’ll find in a 편의점: (these are just some I love! if you have some snacks that you love that aren’t on here, please write them in the comments!!)

   ☆ 삼각김밥 - triangle kimbap    ☆ 도시갈 - lunchbox / bento    ☆ 우유 -  milk          ♡ 딸기 맛 - strawberry flavour -> 딸기(맛)우유          ♡ 바나나 맛 - banana flavour          ♡ 멜론 맛 - melon flavour    ☆ 빼빼로 - pepero (Korean pocky)    ☆ 찹쌀약과 - Korean sweet cake    ☆ 꼬깔콘 - corn chips    ☆ 허니버터칩 - honey butter chips    ☆ 초코파이 케이크 - Choco-Pie Cake (a staple in Korean snacks)

Hope this helped to the person that asked, and to the people that wanted to know! If you need more basic phrases for when you’re talking to someone in Korean, feel free to check out my K-ommon Korean Phrases! You can go here for the downloadable pdf! Check out my Quizlet (K-ommon Korean Phrases || 편의점 어휘) to study!
