악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean Part 2: Adjectives & Determiners

Hey all, this post is better seen on my Wordpress blog, b/c I’ve color corded and underlined everything I could. [LINK] 

Color-coded example:

Summary

How do adjectives work in Korean? 

English adjectives look distinct. They go in front of nouns that they describe and they are not conjugated - they look the same no matter what noun they describe, whether it’s singular, plural, whatever... 

In Korean, adjectives are like verbs. It would be more accurate to call them descriptive verbs. Korean adjectives are conjugated just like verbs are in Korean: by tense, by formality level, etc.

This post looks at descriptive verbs and how to use them with technical detail. :)

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or feedback. 

Next post will be about nouns(subjunctives) and 이다, if I’m brave enough! 

While you wait for my next video, please watch this video to learn the basics of Korean grammar & conjugating verbs into 아/어/여+요. You’ll learn a set of verbs with different conjugation rules. She even delves into past tense (-았어요/-었어요/-였어요), days of the week, and even -ㅂ니다 (습니다, 입니다)! 

The 선생님 in this video talks ONLY IN KOREAN! So here are some expressions that she uses.

Conclusion

We spent most of our time today learning the differences between these two sentences:

We learned that the fundamental difference between the two sentences are “Verbs” (aka Predicates). The first sentence uses a descriptive verb, 좋다 -> 좋아요, to describe the subject 사과. The second sentence uses an action verb, 좋아하다 -> 좋아해요, to say that the subject 저 likes the direct object, 사과. 좋아하다 takes a direct object because it is a transitive verb.

We also learned three particles: subject particle 이/가, topic particle 은/는, and object particle을/를. These particles mark a word with their function in a sentence. They are not present in the English language. When we want to talk about ourselves, we will always use “저는” for now, because it’s ok to be confused about when to use the subject particle or the topic particle.

The object particle, on the other hand, marks the direct object of a verb. The Korean “Subject-Object-Verb” (S-O-V) sentence structure matches the English “Subject-Verb-Object” (S-V-O) structure when a transitive action verb is used.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE?

You can use this sentence structure to say many things. All you have to do now is substitute the nouns, objects, and verbs in this sentence structure to at least say “I like …” or “(Friend) likes …”

In our next lesson, we will learn how to use predicates to modify nouns and create more complicated sentences like this:

악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean Part 1 (3/4)

(4) “Verbs”: Descriptive verbs (형용사) + Action Verbs (동사)

aka Predicates (용언) – predicates describe the subject’s quality or actions; predicates state something about the subject.

Before anything, please know that Korean verbs are ‘conjugated.’ In this post, we are using two forms: the ‘dictionary form’ (좋다, 좋아하다), as well as ‘informal polite form,’ 아/어/여 + 요 (좋아요, 좋아해요). For more information on conjugation, check these links: [Korean Wiki Project: 아/어/여 + 요] [Korean Living – multiple conjugations]

Many beginners probably know how to say “오빠 좋아요” and “오빠 좋아해요” without understanding the differences between the two. You may understand them both as “I like 오빠.” Fortunately for us, 좋다 and 좋아하다 are great words to demonstrate the differences between descriptive verbs and action verbs.

While English has a huge distinction between adjectives and verbs, Korean does not share that same difference. Instead, we have descriptive verbs (형용사) that could be similar to English adjectives, but ultimately behave similarly to action verbs (동사), unlike the English adjective.

I think this is a very, very important difference between Korean and English. Both action verbs and descriptive verbs can describe the subject; whether it is about the quality of the subject (like an English adjective might) or to describe the action of the subject (like an English verb might).

How do I know if a "verb" (predicate) is a descriptive verb or an action verb? Well... To be honest, you either know it already, or you have to look it up. They act very similarly in Korean, so it's okay to confuse them. If you're unsure, look it up in the Korean dictionary and see if it says  or 동사.

For today's' purpose, just know that action verbs and descriptive verbs are part of the same group and they can do a lot of the same stuff. (Action verbs can do "more" than descriptive verbs, but that's not so important today.)

A. DESCRIPTIVE VERB (형용사) – 좋다

As I’ve mentioned, descriptive verbs are words that could be considered similar to adjectives in English. 좋다, can mean “good,” “likeable,” and “agreeable” like English adjectives. You may also see that 좋다’s meaning is “to be good,” “to be likable” or “to be agreeable.” I personally think that the latter definitions, like “to be good,” is a more accurate depictions of descriptive verbs.

In the first sentence, 저는 사과가 좋아요, we’ve already figured out that ‘저는’ sets up the sentence to be about 저 (I), as identified by the topic particle ‘는.’ However, we know that the subject of the sentence is actually 사과, because of the subject particle ‘가.’ Let’s drop 저는 from this example to clean up the sentence.

Now we have 사과가 좋아요. 사과 is the subject (주어) and 좋아요 is the “verb.”

좋다 is a descriptive verb (형용사). (It is conjugated as 좋아요 in this sentence.) 좋다 is describing the quality of the subject, 사과, as “likable.” 사과가 좋아요 means, 사과 (the subject) has a likable quality.

Let’s bring back 저는. 저는 사과가 좋아요. We already know that this means “I like apples.” Combining everything we’ve learned so far, we can conclude that this sentence technically means the following:

Let’s move onto the next sentence.

B. ACTION VERB (동사) – 좋아하다 + OBJECT PARTICLE (을/를)

Verbs have different qualities. This is same for English and Korean alike. Today’s verb, 좋아하다 is a transitive verb (타동사), meaning that the subject verbs upon something (direct object). To reiterate, the transitive verb has three components: a subject, a verb, and a direct object. (Read more on English Transitive Verb here: [Grammar Bytes])

This is the same in Korean, as demonstrated in our second sentence:

** Why is there a topic particle on 저 instead of  a subject particle? Remember that in the absence of a subject marked by a subject particle, the noun marked with the topic particle can act as the subject of the sentence. Learning when to do this will take time.

Now we run into the object particle. As the name suggests, the object particle marks the direct object of a verb. Because “좋아하다” and “to eat” are both transitive verbs, they require a direct object. In Korean, the direct object is marked by 을/를, the object particle, as you see in the sentence above (사과 + 를).

Why does the other sentence lack a direct object? Remember that 좋다->좋아요 is a descriptive verb, not an action verb nor a transitive verb. It does not call for a direct object.

So, for 저는 사과를 좋아해요, we can break this sentence down like such:

(1) Word Order

Basic Korean sentences stick to this order: SUBJECT (S) OBJECT (O) VERB (V). This is different from English, where basic sentences are in this order: SUBJECT (S) VERB (V) OBJECT (O).

This is common knowledge in the beginning stages of learning Korean. I’m including this here so that we’re on the same page.  However, there’s a bit more to this sentence structure, as we will find out… But this is good background information.  

(2) Particles, aka Postpositions (조사)

We have three particles to look over today:

Korean uses particles, short suffixes, to mark different units of the sentence. The English language does not use particles. You can easily find an exhaustive list of particles in the Korean language, but we will only work with those three today.

Why are we learning this? Koreans drop particles all the time. And so do many beginner’s learning materials! But I think that’s even more reason to learn these particles… Koreans know which particles they drop. You don’t. These pesky little suffixes are not part of the English language, and it is normal to find them difficult. However, particles are fundamental to understanding Korean grammar and learning them early on will set you up for success in the future.

Why are there two of each? As you already know, some syllable blocks in Korean have final consonants, while some don’t. For the subject particle, 이/가, 이 is used for words with final consonants, like 사랑 (love). 가 is used for words without final consonants, like 사과 (apple). This is further demonstrated for the other two particles in the examples above.

We will learn more about these in the next few sections.

(3) Subject (주어) + Subject Particle (주격조사 “이/가”) + Topic Particle (보조사 “은/는”)

** While we’re on this subject (ha!)… In Korean, plurality is not marked unless it is important. These two sentences only have 사과, which seems to be a singular noun, but it means ‘apples (in general).’ To learn more about Korean plurality, see: [Nojeok Hill (explanation in English)] [UBC.ca]

Both sentences above start with the same word, 저. 저 means “I,” and it is in a formality level where you are showing respect. (나 is the informal counterpart to 저; 나 also means “I” but it is a casual way of expressing “I.” Read more here [funkorean4u] )

Then what is 는? It is a topic particle. What is 가 on 사과? It is a subject particle. Wait, 악돌 선생님, this is confusing to my English sensibilities – and rightfully so!

The short answer is, 이/가, the subject particle, will always mark the subject. In addition, in the absence of a subject particle, 은/는, the topic particle, may mark a subject, like in the second sentence 저는 사과를 좋아해요 ( ‘I apple like’ ).

When there are both a topic particle and subject particle in a sentence, the subject particle marks the subject, and the topic particle marks the ‘topic’ of the sentence. 저는 in the first sentence can be, ‘As for 저 (I), …," and not be the 'subject' of the sentence. 저는 here does not act out the verb.

Learning when to use the subject particle and the topic particle is difficult at first. This skill is something you’ll work on throughout your Korean career. These particles, again, are a function absent in the English language, so it is absolutely normal to have trouble learning this overnight.

Here are a couple of videos explaining the differences between the topic particle and subject particle. [MotivateKorean] [TTMIK] [Go!Billy]

I suggest that you take the advice of MotivateKorean here: When you are talking about yourself, just stick to 저는. We are doing that in this lesson.

악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean Part 1 (1/4)

Hi Tumblr! Long time no see. I’ve prepared a grammar lesson for you all this week. Part 1 of my “악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean” is divided into four parts, and it will be posted throughout this week. 

You can read the FULL POST on my new Wordpress Blog. [LINK]

악돌’s First Steps to Serious Korean Part 1: Subjects, Particles and Verbs

This is one out of several posts to help you start learning Korean seriously!

Learn the foundations of Korean grammar and sentence making by learning how to say “I like apples” in two different ways.

Introduction

Many posts that say, ‘start learning Korean here!’ often omit important grammatical foundations. It is important to know how to say “hello” and “I like ….” However, neglecting basic grammatical principles might be a burden later. This post is meant to introduce some basic grammatical aspects of the Korean language. Following this text will prepare you to tackle further material in the future.

YOU ARE THIS PERSON:

My personal goal is to offer content that you don’t have to unlearn later. Will there be exceptions to these rules and examples? Certainly. But this is meant to give you a foundation of knowledge, not a set of absolute rules.

My hope, also, is that this gives you the tools to make sentences, instead of just memorizing phrases.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

** This lesson assumes that you know how to read Korean (Hangul). If not, please indulge in any of these two series: [TTMIK1 / TTMIK2] [Go! Billy  – Learn Hangul in 90 Minutes]

** I am using Korean grammatical terms in this post. Korean and English have different grammar systems, so it is good to recognize the differences in terms. They are not important for you to know today, but they are included, in case you’d like to keep a list of Korean grammar terms.

(0) Problem

We’re going to work with two sentences in this lesson:

THEY LOOK SO SIMILAR! THEY BOTH MEAN “I LIKE APPLES.” WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

Well, stick around and we’ll find out.

Annie’s WotD: 정신 (noun)

정신 차리세요! Today's @WotD is 정신. 정신 (精神) is your mind, or spirit. It can also mean your senses, as in the ability to sense things and make decisions.

     Ex) 건전한 정신은 건전한 신체로부터 시작한다. A healthy mind starts from a healthy body. 

Some common 정신 expressions: 

 정신(이) 없다: to be so busy or flustered that you can't think about anything else.      Ex) 아침에 정신이 없어서 열쇠를 놓고 왔다. I was so busy this morning I forgot my keys.      Ex) 다들 그렇듯이 정신없이 살았다. Like everyone else, I lived a busy life.  

정신(을) 차리다: to regain your senses after losing it (like being unconscious), or to focus after a failure.      Ex) 시험을 망치고도 정신을 못 차렸다. Even though I failed the test I couldn't come to my senses.      Ex) 정신 차리고 다시 해 보자. Let's focus and try again. 

정신(이) 사납다: to be unable to think because something is so disorganized, disruptive and annoying. (악돌 edit: this is very close to the feeling of 산만하다)       Ex) 정신 사나워서 방을 치웠다. I cleaned my room because the mess was getting on my nerves.      Ex) 개가 정신 사납게 뛰어다녔다. The dog ran about wildly.

Annie’s WotD: 산 (noun)

바다로 갈까요, 산으로 갈까요? Today's @WotD is 산. 산 means mountain. In Korea, mountains (along with beaches) are popular destinations during summer vacation. Some famous mountains in Korea: 백두산 (Paektu Mountain), 남산 (Namsan), 태백산 (Mount Taebaek). 

 Just to spice things up, a couple of 산 expressions: 

 산 넘어 산: mountain after mountain. When things get more and more difficult, or there's a problem after another.      Ex) 한국어 배우는 것은 산 넘어 산이다. Learning Korean just gets more and more difficult.      Ex) 인생은 산 넘어 산이다. Life does not get any easier.      Synonym: 갈수록 태산. 

 점점 산으로 가다: to start to head towards the mountains. When something gets further and further away from the original intentions. When you start to wonder "wtf is this anymore" then you know you're on your way to those mountains.      Ex) 다이어트를 시작했지만 점점 산으로 간다. I began a diet but it's going wrong.      Ex) #general에 있던 그들의 이야기는 점점 산으로 갔다. Their conversation in #general got very off topic. 

I think we may have covered 산/Mountain, but Annie brought in some great examples of idioms that I didn’t even think of! Plus, Ho added something else: 

Another common 속담 involving 산 is: 사공이 많으면 배가 산으로 간다 - meaning literally 'If there are too many boatmen, the boat will go into the mountains.' This expression is the Korean equivalent of 'too many cooks spoil the broth' - too many people having opinions or too many people directing control of something causes nothing to be accomplished. Usually, 속담s are incorporated into daily speech through something like this: 사공이 많으면 배가 산으로 간다고 등등..., 사공이 많으면 배가 산으로 간다더니 등등..., etc. (ie quoted)

Annie’s WotD: 아스라이 (adverb)

This will be a series where Annie, not myself (악돌) has written some WotD posts during my absence. Emphasis and formatting are mine, but please appreciate how much time and attention she’s put into these! 고마워! 

(While the great 악돌 sensei is on her well-deserved vacation, I'll try my best to fill in. 잘 부탁합니다~) 

안녕하세요! 오늘의 @WotD는 아스라이입니다. Some of you may think this word sounds familiar. That's right, it comes from '아슬하다'. 아슬하다 means something is so high or low that it's risky. When you're at a height that makes you nervous, that height is 아슬아슬. Similarly, a height that is 아스라이 is so high that it makes you nervous. But 아스라이 can also be used to mean something is similarly far away; a distance so great that what you're looking at is barely visible.

      ex) 산 꼭대기에서 아스라이 보이는 내 집을 쳐다보았다.  

아스라이 can also be used for a memory. Like how something far away is barely visible, a memory from a time so far in the past that you can hardly remember.

      ex) 가물가물한 내 기억 속 돌아가신 할머니의 얼굴이 아스라이 떠올랐다. 

 Lastly, it can also describe a sound. A sound so faint that it is hard to hear or make out.

     ex) 으시시한 울음소리가 방문 사이로 아스라이 들린다

Totally not a secret that I didn’t even know this word existed.... ~ 악돌
