안녕! Hey guys! How is everyone doing? This post is going to be a bit long, but it has TONS of useful information, so keep reading. Let’s go! 가자!

그렇다

그렇다 is usually used as an adjective or adverb.

As an adjective, it’s 그런, which means « that sort of/that kind of/that type of » An example is 저는 그런 사람을 믿지 않아요 « I don’t trust those kinds of people/that type of person »

As an adverb, it’s 그렇게, which means « like that » An example is 저는 그렇게 생각하지 않아요 « I don’t think like that »

이렇다

이렇다 can also be an adjective or adverb. It also means « like this »

As an adjective, it’s 이런, which means « this sort of/this kind of/this type of » An example is 이런 차는 너무 커요 « This type of car is too big »

As an adverb, it’s 이렇게, which means « like this » An example is 왜 이렇게 일찍 가요? « Why are you going to early (like this)? »

*Note, the words « like this » in English aren’t really needed in a sentence. This is something that you just pick up after a while when learning Korean. When Korean people ask a « why » question, they often stress the phrase « why » by using  이렇게*

저렇다

저렇다 can be used just like 그렇다 and 이렇다, you just have to keep in mind the differences in the meaning of 이, 그, and 저.

Example as an adjective are 저는 저런 차를 사고 싶어요 « I want to buy that type of car »

Example as an adverb is 아빠는 왜 저렇게 말하고 있어요? « Why is dad talking like that? »

이렇다, 그렇다 and 저렇다 can also be used as the predicating word/end of a sentence (these are usually only seen in simple sentences asking/indicating if something is « like this » or « like that »).

Examples are:

이 학교도 그렇지 않습니까? « Is this school no like that as well? »

네, 그렇습니다 « Yes, that is correct/that is the way it is »

The most common way you’ll see these ad a beginner is like this:

왜 이래?

왜 그래?

왜 저래?

When adding ‘~어/아’ (or one of its derivatives), the ‘ㅎ’ is dropped and the ‘ㅓ’ turns into ‘ㅐ’

Saying « Why are you like this/like that? » is Korean is very common in conversation. It could be compared to the English « What’s wrong? » or « What’s the matter? »

그렇다 is used very often as Koreans will use it as an agreement to something. Example:

Person A: 제가 지금 가요. « I’m going to go now »

Person B: 그래요! « Sure! (Like that is fine!) »

Similarly, it can also be used to show shock or disbelief, but not an in actuality way, but in more of a « Oh, I’m interested in the conversation » type of way. It’s like the English phrase « really?! »

Example:

Person A: 저는 지난 주에 미국에 있었어요. « Last week I went to the United States. »

Person B: 그래요? 어디에 갔어요? « Really?! Where did you go? »

안녕! I haven't posted in a while due to work, but! Don't fret! I have a new post for you all about the New Year in Korean! Let's get started! 가자!

Vocabulary to know:

새해 복 많이 받으세요! - Happy New Year!

새해 다짐 - New Year's Resolution

How do we form the sentence in order to say our New Year's Resolution? It's super simple! I'll show you!

제 새해 다짐은 [verb stem]는 거예요/거야.

Let's break the sentence down so we can see it more in detail:

•제 means my in formal language. If you don't know whether or not to be informal or formal, I'd be safe and say use formalities.

•새해 다짐 say we see means New Year's Resolution.

•은 is our topic marker, saying that our topic is my new year's resolution.

•The [verb stem] is whatever you want to work on this upcoming year!

•는 is used as a topic marker. (Please note that you use 는 if the verb stem ends in a vowel, if it doesn't, use 은).

•거예요/거야 is future tense. It shows that it will happen, it just hasn't yet. 거야 is the shorter, informal version of 거예요, but always start out using formalities unless you know for sure that you can use informalities.

Side note: you can put an object before the noun to be more specific on what your goal is. You'll see that in the sentences below!

Examples of New Year's Resolutions:

제 새해 다짐은 매일 운동하는 거예요. My new year's resolution is to exercise everyday.

제 새해 다짐은 책을 200개 읽는 거예요. My new year's resolution is to read 200 books.

제 새해 다짐은 중국어를 더 공부하는 거예요. My new year's resolution is to study Chinese more. (One I really need this upcoming decade!)

제 새해 다짐은 매일 자정 전에 자는 거예요. My new year's resolution is to sleep everyday before midnight.

제 새해 다짐은 없슴니다. I don't have a new year's resolution. (Sometimes we don't and that's okay).

I hope you all are doing okay. I hope you all are better than I am. The quarantine/lockdown has been getting to me recently and I’ve lost any and all motivation I had before the lockdown. I ended up completing my junior year and will be graduating as of May 2021! I move to a new house next week (30.07.20) and I will not be very active during that time due to unpacking and getting new internet access and all that fun stuff involved in moving.

Yesterday was a not so good day. I lost my puppy yesterday. He would’ve been 10 on 05.08.20 so I’m not taking it very well. I might have posted about him before, but I’m not super sure. He was my ESA (emotional service animal) so I’m taking his loss very very hard. I don’t expect to be over this anytime soon, but I will try it best to not let this get in the way of me posting.

Now, as for all of the posts I have ready to go, I plan on posting at least the honorific post before I move next week. I’m planning for Sunday (26.07.20), but nothing is solid for me yet. It will however be up before the 29th of this month (next Wednesday). Everything else will be posted any day after the 7th of next month.

안녕! Here is a mini Korean lesson! 가자!

"And"

-There are many ways to say "and" in Korean. Here are a few common ways:

•와/과

•랑/이랑

•하고

와 and 과

-과 is used when the previous word ends in a consonant

•라면과 김치 주세요.

-와 is used when the previous word ends in a vowel

•떡볶이와 김치 주세요.

랑 and 이랑

-랑 is used just like 와, when the word before ends in a vowel.

•떡볶이랑 김치 주세요.

-이랑 is used just like 과, when the word before ends in a consonant.

•라면이랑 김치 주세요.

하고

-하고 can be used when the word before ends in a vowel OR a consonant. If you ever forget whether to use 와/과 or 랑/이랑 just use 하고.

•김치하고 떡볶이 주세요.

So, there are many ways, but when do you use each one?

- Use 와 and 과 when writing

•Example: When writing a story/essay use 와/과

- Use 하고, 랑, and 이랑 when talking

• Example: When texting someone else or talking to a tecaher use 하고, 랑, or 이랑.

☆Texting counts as talking☆

안녕 everyone! I hope you all are doing fantastic today! A really big mistake new Korean learners make is mixing up 에 and 에서. So today, I'm gonna break both down for you so that way we can use them and know which one go use. Let's go! 가자!

에 is "at on in".

저는 학교에 있다. I'm at school.

저는 방에 있다. I'm in the room.

연필이 책상 위에 있다. The pencil is on the desk.

에서 is normally "from".

저는 미국에서 왔다. I am from America/the US

But 에서 also is used as "in at on" when you do something in/on/at the place.

저는 학교에서 공부한다. I study at school.

저는 방에서 잔다. I sleep in the room.

When it comes to movement, they are opposites:

'에' means 'to', and '에서' means 'from'.

저는 제 남편이랑 여행하러 캐나다에 갔어요 I went to Canada to travel with my husband

그는 프랑스에서 오셨어요 He came from France

저는 공부하러 한국에 갈 거예요 I'm going to Korea to study

저는 한국에서 멀리 살고 있어요 I live far from Korea

에 is used to say that someone or something is somewhere, while 에서 is used to say that something is the location of an action (verb).

에:

저는 병원에 가요 I go to the hospital

저는 집에 티비가 있어요 I have a tv at my house

방에 있어요 I am in the room

극장에 갔어요 I went to the theater

에서:

제 방에서 공부하고 있어요 I am studying in my room

극장에서 영화를 봤어요 I saw a movie at the theater

그 남자는 농장에서 자랐다 The man was raised on a farm

Also, here's a trick that my teacher taught me: You can use 에 when you say"I am ~~".

에서 for general verb like study sleep eat etc.
