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
