1.08.2024 — I studied way too hard for the chapter and vocabulary quiz. I went page by page and studied the entire chapter, basically running through the little tasks on each page twice. Then I watched the week’s lecture and realized that only the first two pages were covered. 💀 The whole chapter is about the place marker 에. It covered how to say where a place is, how to ask where something is, and how to give basic directions by adding words like 안 (inside) or 옆 (side).
It took my approximately 6 minutes to do the chapter quiz and 2 minutes to do the vocab, and that was me double checking and taking my time... I’m not mad at easy quizzes, not at all, but I feel slightly deceived lol. Like why did I spend my entire weekend and some of today studying the entire chapter?
I’ll probably still continue reviewing the entire chapter for the week as we continue on, because I want to learn as much as I can this quarter.
I sent an email to my 교수님 with a question about how to say the opposite of [noun] is here, so [noun] isn’t here, because the textbook only gave examples of the first, and she gave me a really detailed and informative response, so I appreciated that.
If you’re curious, the textbook example goes like this:
Q: 여기가 인사동이에요? Is this Insadong?
A: 네, 여기가 인사동이에요. Yes, this is Insadong.
I wanted to know how you'd structure the no version of this, specifically where you'd put the 가/이 marker and if you needed to add the 는/은 marker.
Basically, you could word it a couple ways and it would still be correct, but she told me Native Koreans typically use the 는/은 marker when answering questions.
So, this would be the no answer to the above question: 아니요, 여기는 인사동이 아니에요. You could leave out the "no" I assume, as the end of the sentence signals the "no."
