Weekly Korean Episode 52 – How about? (all about 어때요)

4 Dec

Today Suna and Joop will cover a important topic as it’s applied in high frequency: ‘어때요’. 어때요 means ‘how about …’? You can apply this to everything, ‘how about my shoes?’ ‘how about some beer?’ etc.

-Verb(stem) + -는 거 어때요
-Noun + 어때요?

The dialogue:

  • S: 뭘 사고 싶으세요?
  • J: 운동화를 사고 싶어요.
  • S: 여기 신발 가게가 있네요. 들어갑시다.
  • C: 어서 오십시요
  • J: 수나 씨, 이 운동화 어때요?

Difference between 에 and 에서

24 Oct

If you had your fair share of talks with Koreans, or watched a few Korean drama’s, one of the thing you will notice is the use of E. Later, you will realize they say something like ESO. What is the difference between the too? Today, Suna and Joop are recording this explanation live from a Korean bathhouse.

Examples:

에서:

  1. 네덜란드 에서 왔어요 – I came from Netherlands (FROM)
  2. 학교에서 공부해요 – “I study at school” (AT)

에:

  1. 중국에 갔어요. I went to China (TO)
  2. 방에 있어요. I am in the room (E is your presence/ exist)

Weekly Korean Episode 46 – Intentional future and past

17 Oct

[DOWNLOAD AS MP3]
A quick flashback from last week’s episode:

  1. I am going to eat: 먹일 거에요
  2. I am going to drink: 막실 거에요
  3. I am going: 갈 거에요

Then this week we add two new forms:

Intentional future:
One thing you hear a lot for future tense is 겠. (as you hear in the podcast, sounds a lot like English “get”.) This form is more of the meaning “I intend to, I’m positive it will happen, etc.”

Take the verb base. (everything before 다 in the dictionary) and replace with 겠 어요. (note that it always is 어요, never 아요) in this case.

  1. I’m sure we will eat: 먹겠 어요
  2. I’m sure we will drink: 마시겠 어요
  3. I’m sure we will go: 아겠 어요

Past Probable
The past probable, you will use when you apply a past tense to a verb. An example could be ‘must have’ or ‘probably have’.

  1. Must have eaten: 먹었일 거에요
  2. Must have drank: 마셨을 거에요
  3. Must have went: 갔을 거에요

먹어 + ㅆ 어요 = 먹었어요.
I drank: (마시다)
마셔 + ㅆ 어요 = 마셨어요
I went: (가다)
가다 + ㅆ 어요 = 갔어요

Simply add 고 있어요 to the stam and you are set!
I am eating: (먹다)
먹 + 고 있어요 = 먹고 있어요
I am drinking: (마시다)
마시+고 있어요
I am going: (가다)
가 + 고 있어요


FUTURE TENSE
For future, you need to put ~ㄹ 거에요 behind the stam. (make it 을 거에요 in case of batchim)
I am going to eat: (먹다)
먹 + ㄹ거에요 =  먹을 거에요
I am going to drink: (마시다)
마시 + ㄹ 거에요 = 마실 거에요
I am going: (가다)
