#basic korean

안녕하세요! Hey everyone! I recently got an ask about my old masterlist, which is the same as my broken-down masterlist except it has all of my lessons on one page, rather than on multiple separate posts. Some may find this expanded version easier to navigate, so I’ll keep this up for y’all! My broken-up masterlist, of course, will still be available for those who find that more helpful :)

— hi

wasn't able to do anything productive yesterday. wasn't even able to sleep a wink the night before.

here are some of the orchids i've pressed so far — the small ones are vanda, aerides quinquevulnera and the big ones are dendrobiums, sumsak. my mom has new blooms of the same dendrobiums that i'll be preserving for awhile to keep them as a decor for my bedside table and i'm waiting on a local, another species of dendrobiums to be in full bloom for me to keep in my room next and have them pressed 🤗.

and, yeah. started listing down 10 words for daily vocabulary with the help of basic korean (the lockscreen app).

Basic grammar must know 

  "-ㅂ니다" shows the present tense (I read, I eat, I go, etc.) or daily actions (I go to Church, I go to school, etc.) .

Basically there are three types of verbs in Korean.

 First, "-입니다" from -이다(infinitive) means "is"

Second, "-합니다" from -하다(infinitive) means "do"

the last but not least irregular forms. "가다", "먹다", "자다" etc. are the last case.

"-입니다"  is corresponding to "is" in English.

"이다" (is) + "ㅂ니다" becomes "-입니다"

For example;

 This is a pen = 이것은 펜입니다.  

 I am at cafe  = 나는 카페입니다.

"-합니다" is used for verbs ending with "-하다 

"Verb "-하다" is the most common form of verbs in Korean. 

 These verbs are consist of Noun and "-하다".

 For example, 

 "공부하다" is made up by "공부(Study)" and "-하다".  

"낙서하다" is made up by "낙서(Doodle)" and "-하다".    

 These verbs have a distinction comparing to other verbs, which the noun on the verb can change to Object with "-을/를". 

 For example,       

"공부하다" can change to "공부를 하다".     

"낙서하다" also can be written in "낙서를 하다". 

The irregular form to use "-ㅂ니다" is depending on the last letter of the verb.

End with vowel (There is no consonant on the bottom)

"가다(Go)" + "-ㅂ니다" becomes "갑니다."

"자다(Sleep)" + "-ㅂ니다" becomes "잡니다."

     2. End with the consonant "ㄹ" -Omit "ㄹ" and apply the first rule, +"-ㅂ니다"  

"갈다(Change/Grind)" + "-ㅂ니다" becomes "갑니다." - As you notice, it is the same form with "가다 + -ㅂ니다".

"말다(Roll up)" + "-ㅂ니다" becomes "맙니다."

   3.  End with a consonant besides "ㄹ" - add "-습니다"

"걷다(Walk)" +"-습니다" becomes "걷습니다."

"입다(Wear)  + "-습니다" becomes "입습니다."

~Last Week's Update~

I hopped onto the bandwagon and successfully made the dalgona frothy coffee on monday :p The whisking took a lot of effort but it turned out pretty good.

Hey anon… I can really feel your frustration because I’ve been there before. Sometimes it’s easy to remember simple phrases because those are the ones you hear the most - whether it be KDramas or other Korean sources. Of course, my advice to you is to keep practicing. But don’t just see the words, look at them. Don’t just memorize vocabulary, understand it.

안녕히 가세요 - the 가 comes from 가다, meaning ‘to go’     go in peace안녕히 계세요 - 계세요 is the honorific equivalent of 있어요 meaning ‘to exist’     stay in peace만나서 반가워요 - 만나 = meet / 반갑다 - nice to meet     it is nice to meet you

So, here are some tips: memorization is key to almost anything! But if you can’t show your understanding then your words will be meaningless. Understand what you put in your brain for later use, get familiar with it. Speaking it out loud works too, helping your tongue get familiar with the words (how to say it angrily, how to say it sadly, how to say it like a native, etc.). Getting better at this step will help in the future with more complicated sentences - because you’ll have to understand what you’re saying, why you’re saying it like that, and what goes where to say it correctly. 

Don’t give up! Keep practicing!! I believe in you :) Happy Learning ~~
