(lvl 4) Lesson 5-7
Today we will do three lessons. As it is the second to last day of 2020, let’s hope next year will be more joyful! Let’s end the year well!
Lesson 5
In this lesson the word 당신 and its usage is explained. 당신 means you in a formal way, BUT it is rarely used. Please know how and when to use this word, as it might get you into trouble when you use it wrong.
Usage:
When you are angry and do not mind fighting.
Translating from a foreign language and you must need a word for “you”.
Writing or singing a song or using indirect language.
Addressing your spouse.
Talking about someone who is not present in a honorific way and you want to say “he” or “she”.
Examples:
1. 당신 뭐야? = who do you think you are?! 2/3. 당신의 눈이 참 아름다워요 = your eyes are so beautiful 4. 당신 지금 어디예요? = (honey,) where are you? 5. this is so rarely used, an example would be useless. Just don’t use it.
Then how do you say “you”?
반말:
너 → 너는 → 넌
너 → 네가
존댓말: Use the name + suffix 씨
남준씨 = Namjoon → You’re addressing Namjoon in a formal way
존댓말: When you’re talking to an unknown person or someone with a status, use their postion/ job title + 님
기사님 = taxi driver → you’re addressing the taxi driver in a formal way
선생님 = teacher → you’re addressing the teacher in a formal way
Lesson 6
Lesson 6 is a word builder for 동! You can find the Quizlet for it here.
Lesson 7
If you watch kdrama’s or listen to kpop, you’ve probably heard the sentence 괜찮아다 so much you can already dream it. It means “it’s okay”, “don’t worry” or “it’s good”.
Present: 괜찮아요
Past: 괜찮았어요
Future: 괜찮을 거예요
Woohoo! That’s it! Good job! Happy new year!!
