Korean Language Notes #oo4: Negative Sentences
Hello people, you guys must be hating me since i didn't update anything for weeks or months(?) haha.
Well here's another update about HOW TO BUILD NEGATIVE SENTENCES IN KOREAN. And let me warn you guys one more time, I, myself is still learning korean. I'm doing this because i want to at least improve something haha. I learn most of everything from TTMIK but i will explain to you guys in my way though i am suck at explaining things and i will get some examples on the net. Okay, i talked too much :(
LET'S START!
Negative sentences are generally made in TWO ways by;
o1# Adding 안(an) before a verb
o2# Using the negative verb, 지 않다(ji an-da)
*// the o1# is so freaking easy if you compare it to o2#, you don't really have to worry much because i will try my best to explain! ^^
*// you will use o2# in formal conversations.
o1# 안(an)
Formation:
안 + VERB
- 봐요 (bwa-yo) = 안 봐요 (an-bwa-yo) // See = Do not see
- 가요 (ga-yo) = 안 가요 (an-ga-yo) // Go = Do not go
- 먹어요 (meog-eo-yeo) = 안 먹어요 (an-meog-eo-yo) // Eat = Do not eat
As for NOUN + 해요 verbs use; NOUN + 안 + 해요
- 연습해요 (yeon-seub-hae-yo) = 연습 안 해요 (yeon-seub-an-hae-yo) // Practice = Do not practice
- 여행해요 (yeo-haeng-hae-yo) = 여행 안 해요 (yeo-haeng-an-hae-yo) // Travel = Do not travel
More examples:
- 집에 안 가요 (jib-e-an-ga-yo) = I'm not going home
- 그거 안 버렸어요 (geu-geo-an-beo-ryeoss-eo-yo) = I didn't throw it away
o2# 지 않다(ji an-da)
Formation:
VERB + 지 않다
지 않다 is the basic form and you need to conjugate it according to the tense.
Present tense: 지 않아요 (ji-anh-a-yo)
Past tense: 지 않았어요 (ji-anh-ass-eo-yo)
Examples for the verb TO GO // 가다 (ga-da):
- 가지 않다 = To not go
- 가지 않아요 = I'm not going
- 가지 않았어요 = I didn't go
Examples for the verb TO THROW AWAY // 버리다 (beo-ri-da):
- 버리지 않다 = To not throw away
- 버리지 않아요 = I don't throw it away
- 버리지 않았어요 = I didn't throw it away
If you have questions, lodge it in the comments. If you need more examples, you can ask me so that i can update this post with more examples. Sorry for lacking but thanks for reading! :D

Korean Language Notes #oo3: Have or Don't Have / 있어요 or 없어요
Hello all, I'm back with another lesson! How was the previous notes? I know. I'm not that good when it comes to explaining things. I am a total sucker lol. Okay, I should stop talking nonsense.
My post are all based on TTMIK but I will explain it with my own style, yeah right lol.
Just like what I wrote for the title, today we will learn about 있어요 and 없어요.
Well, this lesson is going to be hella easy, just follow my flow okay?
준비.시.......작!
있어요 (iss-eo-yo) and 없어요 (eobs-eo-yo)
HAVE/EXISTS DON'T HAVE/DOESN'T EXISTS
I really don't know what should i say about this, this thing is not a big problem and really easy. So, I think I should move to the examples, from there i will try to explain, okay?
EXAMPLES:
(있어요)
뻐드렁니가 있어요 (bbeo-deu-reong-ni-ga iss-eo-yo)
= I have buck teeth
시간 있어요? (si-gan iss-eo-yo?)
= Do you have time?
충치가 있어요 (chung-chi-ga iss-eo-yo)
= I have a bad tooth
(없어요)
As for DON'T HAVE, you can just simply change 있어요 to 없어요 from the above examples. You'll get the opposite meaning. It's simple and easy as that.
Knowing what is HAVE and DON'T HAVE in korean will make your life easier! And it's really fun to use them :) I don't really know what should I explain since this part is easy, i don't know lol.
But oh well, just enjoy learning korean, okay? Good luck! <3

Korean Alphabet 1
ㅂ/ㅃ can be b/bb OR p/pp. I'm telling you this because i'm afraid to know that you are freaking confused lol. And "ㅇ" is also can be used to "beautify" (lol idk any good words for this haha) your words. Example: 안녕. You can't leave them hanging without ㅇ. Like seriously, can you imagine that? Haha. That's it, you can ask me if you have questions :D

Korean Language Notes #oo2: Topic & Subject Marking Particles (은&는/이&가)
I know the marking particles are so freaking confusing and hard to learn or even to understand. I had trouble understanding this part too. But I will try my best to explain :)
And yeah you're right, it's almost the same with TTMIK lessons.
TTMIK taught me a lot. And baby, i should warn you now, I'm not good in english. Sorryyyyyyy.
So let's start with...
TOPIC MARKING PARTICLES (TMP)
은 (eun) & 는 (neun)
Basically, topic marking particles' main role is to let the other people know what you are talking about or going to talk about, and TMP are attached after nouns.
은 & 는 are same but...
은 for words ending with a consonant / words ending with a consonant + 은
는 for words ending with a vowel / words ending with a vowel + 는
EXAMPLES:
가방 (ga-bang) + 은 (eun) = 가방은
책 (chaek) + 은 (eun) = 책은
나 (na) + 는 (neun) = 나는
저 (jeo) + 는 (neun) = 저는
대현은 학생입니다 (Daehyun-eun hak-saeng-ib-ni-da)
= Daehyun is a student / As for Daehyun... (He's) a student.
영재는 지금 공부해요 (Youngjae-neun ji-geum gong-bu-hae-yo)
= Youngjae is studying now / As for Youngjae... (He's) studying now
See that tricky part? Haha, let me tell you something. To make you understand, always imagine the meaning behind 은 & 는 = "As for..."
Why? Because you already know that 은 & 는 are TMP, so TMP will be used when you're trying to make "something" to be the topic of your conversations/sentences, this is an easy way for you to bold out the topic. If you look at my last example, you can know that Daehyun and Youngjae is the topic of the sentence/conversation.
You also use TMP when you want to change the topic or subject of a conversation.
I'm not good at explaining, omfg sorry.
SUBJECT MARKING PARTICLES (SMP)
이 (i) & 가 (ga)
So, 이/가 are attached to the end of a noun to let you know that it's the subject of the sentence.
이 & 가 are same but...
이 for words ending with a consonant / words ending with a consonant + 이
가 for words ending with a vowel / words ending with a vowel + 가
EXAMPLES:
책 (chaek) + 이 (i) = 책이
밥 (bab) + 이 (i) = 밥이
아이 (a-i) + 가 (ga) = 아이가
우유 (u-yu) + 가 (ga) = 우유가
Before I move to the sentences, I will explain a lil bit about SMP.
USUALLY (not always!) the subject of a korean sentence will be the same as the subject of an english sentence.
What is subject? Subject is what is doing or being the verb/adjective. To make everything easy, rewrite the sentence as a question and ask yourself "Who/What is (verb)ing?" or "Who/What is (adjective)?"
Here, I will show you some examples:
종업이 자요 (Jongup-i ja-yo)
= Jongup is sleeping
Now, ask yourself, "Who is sleeping?" Well, of course Jongup is the one who is sleeping! Right? So now you can see that Jongup is the Subject of the sentence!
Before I move the next example, some pronouns change a bit when the become subjects:
저 (I **formal**) = 제가
나 (I **informal**) = 내가
너 (You **informal**) = 네가, pronounced and sometimes spelled as 니가.
If you didnt change it, it will sounds weird and ugly, like seriously.
네가 예뻐요 (ne-ga ye-ppeo-yo)
= You're pretty
Now ask yourself, "Who is pretty?". Of course "YOU" are pretty. You can see that YOU is the subject of the sentence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So whenever you have a shift in the conversation, you’ll use the topic marking particle instead of the subject marking particle. When the topic of the particle hasn’t changed, you won’t use the topic marking particle, you’ll just continue to use the subject marking particle. However in reality, especially in conversation, the subject marking particle can be easily omitted. This is especially true when the subject of the conversation is obvious to both parties.
Okay, i guess that's it. If you have questions, you can always nudge me! Just leave me questions in the comments or cbox/tagboard! And i'm sorry because i'm not good in english and explaining. So yeah.
Good luck studying! :)

Korean Language Notes #oo4: Negative Sentences
Hello people, you guys must be hating me since i didn't update anything for weeks or months(?) haha.
Well here's another update about HOW TO BUILD NEGATIVE SENTENCES IN KOREAN. And let me warn you guys one more time, I, myself is still learning korean. I'm doing this because i want to at least improve something haha. I learn most of everything from TTMIK but i will explain to you guys in my way though i am suck at explaining things and i will get some examples on the net. Okay, i talked too much :(
LET'S START!
Negative sentences are generally made in TWO ways by;
o1# Adding 안(an) before a verb
o2# Using the negative verb, 지 않다(ji an-da)
*// the o1# is so freaking easy if you compare it to o2#, you don't really have to worry much because i will try my best to explain! ^^
*// you will use o2# in formal conversations.
o1# 안(an)
Formation:
안 + VERB
- 봐요 (bwa-yo) = 안 봐요 (an-bwa-yo) // See = Do not see
- 가요 (ga-yo) = 안 가요 (an-ga-yo) // Go = Do not go
- 먹어요 (meog-eo-yeo) = 안 먹어요 (an-meog-eo-yo) // Eat = Do not eat
As for NOUN + 해요 verbs use; NOUN + 안 + 해요
- 연습해요 (yeon-seub-hae-yo) = 연습 안 해요 (yeon-seub-an-hae-yo) // Practice = Do not practice
- 여행해요 (yeo-haeng-hae-yo) = 여행 안 해요 (yeo-haeng-an-hae-yo) // Travel = Do not travel
More examples:
- 집에 안 가요 (jib-e-an-ga-yo) = I'm not going home
- 그거 안 버렸어요 (geu-geo-an-beo-ryeoss-eo-yo) = I didn't throw it away
o2# 지 않다(ji an-da)
Formation:
VERB + 지 않다
지 않다 is the basic form and you need to conjugate it according to the tense.
Present tense: 지 않아요 (ji-anh-a-yo)
Past tense: 지 않았어요 (ji-anh-ass-eo-yo)
Examples for the verb TO GO // 가다 (ga-da):
- 가지 않다 = To not go
- 가지 않아요 = I'm not going
- 가지 않았어요 = I didn't go
Examples for the verb TO THROW AWAY // 버리다 (beo-ri-da):
- 버리지 않다 = To not throw away
- 버리지 않아요 = I don't throw it away
- 버리지 않았어요 = I didn't throw it away
If you have questions, lodge it in the comments. If you need more examples, you can ask me so that i can update this post with more examples. Sorry for lacking but thanks for reading! :D

Korean Language Notes #oo3: Have or Don't Have / 있어요 or 없어요
Hello all, I'm back with another lesson! How was the previous notes? I know. I'm not that good when it comes to explaining things. I am a total sucker lol. Okay, I should stop talking nonsense.
My post are all based on TTMIK but I will explain it with my own style, yeah right lol.
Just like what I wrote for the title, today we will learn about 있어요 and 없어요.
Well, this lesson is going to be hella easy, just follow my flow okay?
준비.시.......작!
있어요 (iss-eo-yo) and 없어요 (eobs-eo-yo)
HAVE/EXISTS DON'T HAVE/DOESN'T EXISTS
I really don't know what should i say about this, this thing is not a big problem and really easy. So, I think I should move to the examples, from there i will try to explain, okay?
EXAMPLES:
(있어요)
뻐드렁니가 있어요 (bbeo-deu-reong-ni-ga iss-eo-yo)
= I have buck teeth
시간 있어요? (si-gan iss-eo-yo?)
= Do you have time?
충치가 있어요 (chung-chi-ga iss-eo-yo)
= I have a bad tooth
(없어요)
As for DON'T HAVE, you can just simply change 있어요 to 없어요 from the above examples. You'll get the opposite meaning. It's simple and easy as that.
Knowing what is HAVE and DON'T HAVE in korean will make your life easier! And it's really fun to use them :) I don't really know what should I explain since this part is easy, i don't know lol.
But oh well, just enjoy learning korean, okay? Good luck! <3

Korean Alphabet 1
ㅂ/ㅃ can be b/bb OR p/pp. I'm telling you this because i'm afraid to know that you are freaking confused lol. And "ㅇ" is also can be used to "beautify" (lol idk any good words for this haha) your words. Example: 안녕. You can't leave them hanging without ㅇ. Like seriously, can you imagine that? Haha. That's it, you can ask me if you have questions :D

Korean Language Notes #oo2: Topic & Subject Marking Particles (은&는/이&가)
I know the marking particles are so freaking confusing and hard to learn or even to understand. I had trouble understanding this part too. But I will try my best to explain :)
And yeah you're right, it's almost the same with TTMIK lessons.
TTMIK taught me a lot. And baby, i should warn you now, I'm not good in english. Sorryyyyyyy.
So let's start with...
TOPIC MARKING PARTICLES (TMP)
은 (eun) & 는 (neun)
Basically, topic marking particles' main role is to let the other people know what you are talking about or going to talk about, and TMP are attached after nouns.
은 & 는 are same but...
은 for words ending with a consonant / words ending with a consonant + 은
는 for words ending with a vowel / words ending with a vowel + 는
EXAMPLES:
가방 (ga-bang) + 은 (eun) = 가방은
책 (chaek) + 은 (eun) = 책은
나 (na) + 는 (neun) = 나는
저 (jeo) + 는 (neun) = 저는
대현은 학생입니다 (Daehyun-eun hak-saeng-ib-ni-da)
= Daehyun is a student / As for Daehyun... (He's) a student.
영재는 지금 공부해요 (Youngjae-neun ji-geum gong-bu-hae-yo)
= Youngjae is studying now / As for Youngjae... (He's) studying now
See that tricky part? Haha, let me tell you something. To make you understand, always imagine the meaning behind 은 & 는 = "As for..."
Why? Because you already know that 은 & 는 are TMP, so TMP will be used when you're trying to make "something" to be the topic of your conversations/sentences, this is an easy way for you to bold out the topic. If you look at my last example, you can know that Daehyun and Youngjae is the topic of the sentence/conversation.
You also use TMP when you want to change the topic or subject of a conversation.
I'm not good at explaining, omfg sorry.
SUBJECT MARKING PARTICLES (SMP)
이 (i) & 가 (ga)
So, 이/가 are attached to the end of a noun to let you know that it's the subject of the sentence.
이 & 가 are same but...
이 for words ending with a consonant / words ending with a consonant + 이
가 for words ending with a vowel / words ending with a vowel + 가
EXAMPLES:
책 (chaek) + 이 (i) = 책이
밥 (bab) + 이 (i) = 밥이
아이 (a-i) + 가 (ga) = 아이가
우유 (u-yu) + 가 (ga) = 우유가
Before I move to the sentences, I will explain a lil bit about SMP.
USUALLY (not always!) the subject of a korean sentence will be the same as the subject of an english sentence.
What is subject? Subject is what is doing or being the verb/adjective. To make everything easy, rewrite the sentence as a question and ask yourself "Who/What is (verb)ing?" or "Who/What is (adjective)?"
Here, I will show you some examples:
종업이 자요 (Jongup-i ja-yo)
= Jongup is sleeping
Now, ask yourself, "Who is sleeping?" Well, of course Jongup is the one who is sleeping! Right? So now you can see that Jongup is the Subject of the sentence!
Before I move the next example, some pronouns change a bit when the become subjects:
저 (I **formal**) = 제가
나 (I **informal**) = 내가
너 (You **informal**) = 네가, pronounced and sometimes spelled as 니가.
If you didnt change it, it will sounds weird and ugly, like seriously.
네가 예뻐요 (ne-ga ye-ppeo-yo)
= You're pretty
Now ask yourself, "Who is pretty?". Of course "YOU" are pretty. You can see that YOU is the subject of the sentence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So whenever you have a shift in the conversation, you’ll use the topic marking particle instead of the subject marking particle. When the topic of the particle hasn’t changed, you won’t use the topic marking particle, you’ll just continue to use the subject marking particle. However in reality, especially in conversation, the subject marking particle can be easily omitted. This is especially true when the subject of the conversation is obvious to both parties.
Okay, i guess that's it. If you have questions, you can always nudge me! Just leave me questions in the comments or cbox/tagboard! And i'm sorry because i'm not good in english and explaining. So yeah.
Good luck studying! :)
