(lvl 4 ) Lesson 21-24
안녕하세요! Another four lessons today. We’ll start with spacing part 2, continue with a word builder, contractions part 2 and end with much more/less [adjective] than. 시작해요!
Lesson 21
In lesson 16 we discussed spacing part 1. Today you’ll see that sometimes, spacing changes the meaning of words/sentences. The only way to know this, is by learning the words correctly! So pay attention to spacing when learning new words/sentences!
Examples:
1. 돌려 주다 vs. 돌려주다
돌리다 = to turn; to revolve
돌려 주다 = to turn something for someone
돌려주다 = to return something; to give something back
2. 돌아 가다 vs. 돌아가다
돌다 = to turn; to turn around
돌아 가다 = to detour; to go around the long way
돌아가다 = to return; to go back to some place
3. 빌려 주다 vs. 빌려주다
빌리다 = to borrow
빌려 주다 = to borrow something (from someone else) for someone
빌려주다 = to lend something to someone
4. 알아보다
알다 = to know
보다 = to see
알아보다 = to recognize something/someone; to look into something
알아 보다 does not exist.
5. 나오다/나가다
나다 = to be born; to get out; to be out of (not commonly used on its own)
오다 = to come
가다 = to go
나오다 = to come outside
* 나 does not have much meaning on its own; therefore, a space between 나 and 오다 is not possible.
나가다 = to go outside
Lesson 22
Weehoo, another word building! This time with 장, meaning yard, place or location! You can find it here.
Lesson 23
Remember contractions from lesson 17? Today I’ll show you a few more words/sentences that can be shortened!
이렇다면 → 이러면 = if it is like this
그렇다면 → 그러면 = if it is like that
저렇다면 → 저러면 = if it is like that over there
어떻게하다 → 에덕하다 = what are we supposed to do?
어딱할 거여요 → 어쩔 거여요? = what are you going to do?
Lesson 24
Let’s end today with some grammar: Much more/less [adjective] than...
You probably remember the word 많이, however this is not used for saying Much more/less [adjective] than...
To say “much”, use 훨씬 To say “much more”, use 훨씬 in combination with 더 To say “much less”, use 훨씬 in combination with 덜
Examples:
멋있다 = to be cool; to be stylish
더 멋있다 = to be cooler; to be more stylish
훨씬 더 멋있다 = to be much cooler; to be much more stylish
비싸다 = to be expensive
덜 비싸다 = to be less expensive
훨씬 덜 비싸다 = to be much less expensive
Note: 더 can be dropped to say “much more”, however, 덜 cannot be dropped to say “much less”:
훨씬 멋있다 = to be much cooler; to be much more stylish
훨씬 덜 비싸다 = to be much less expensive
Good job! we’re getting closer to level 4′s end! Keep going!
