What may be the function of "다" in the following sentence? This is a sample sentence that I copy exactly from a Korean grammar book: 여기에다 간판을 달까요? [ In fact, the chapter tries to demonstrate the usage of「~ㄹ까요」(to be fine whether) based on different verb stems. ] It may be translated as, EN: Is this fine whether the advertising board is hanged here? JP: ここに 看板を 掛けても いいですか。 ZH: 招牌掛在這裏好不好？ My current concern is, what does the word "다" after the term "여기에" actually mean? Based on my limited knowledge in Korean, "여기에" would be sufficient enough to describe a significance of "here" or "at this place". Hence, I have no idea whether this "다" is a kind of emphasis or other meaning. Any precious help is fully appreciated. Thank you.To avoid wasting of bandwidth, I would also like to pose the following concern here. This is another sample sentence that I copy ** exactly ** from a Korean grammar book: 맥주나 한잔 마실까요? It may be translated as, EN: Is this fine whether we have a glass of beer? JP: 一杯のビールを 飲みましょう か。 ZH: 喝杯啤酒好不好？ My current concern is, what does the word "나" after the term "맥주" actually mean? As claimed in the original question, I would say that "맥주 한잔" is sufficient enough to describe the information of "a glass of beer". Hence, I do not know what significance this "나" may have, or whether there might be a misprint of this sentence. Many thanks for your kind attention again.Thank you very much for your kind attention to my posed question. In particular, I thank all the respondents for their precious answers and suggestions. May I wish you all a nice weekend. Show
Anonymous asked: Why do some sentences end with 다? Like, for example, 오늘은 날씨가 덥다. 덥다 is a verb, right? So, why not end it with the common politeness level ending? Great question! When you see a verb stem ending in -ㄴ/는다 or an adjective stem ending in -다, that’s called the narrative
form. It differs from the plain present tense form because it is pretty much just used when you’re talking to yourself and not really expecting a response in return. So if you and your friend step outside and you say 오늘은 날씨가 덥다, you’re kinda just stating that it’s hot outside – you don’t really expect your friend to respond to that necessarily. You’re just narrating what’s going on essentially. This form is also used in written Korean a lot, like in books and newspapers and stuff. Check

asked: I barely have time to continue to study Korean but I really want to keep learning. It makes me kinda frustrated. Hi! I answer some similar questions here and here – they’re tips on how to efficiently study Korean and how to study when you have limited time! I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any follow up questions if you have any! Good luck!! 화이팅! Hey everyone! In this next Level 6 lesson, we’re going to learn about something in the Korean language called the narrative form. Let’s begin! Let’s start by learning when the narrative form is used when talking. One way to use it is
when you’re just making a statement. You’re narrating something that’s happening right now. You may not even be talking to anyone in particular and might just be putting something out into the universe, so to speak. Note that you can only use the narrative form when talking to those younger than you!! The narrative form is also used a lot in writing. We know that the Korean language has different forms of formality. If you’re talking to someone older than you, you speak formally. If you’re
talking to someone younger than or the same age as you, you can speak informally. But what about if you’re reading a book or newspaper? Does the author write formally or informally? They use the narrative form! The narrative form doesn’t exactly have any level of formality – it’s used to just make plain statements. In other words, when using the narrative form, you’re not really talking to anyone. You’re just making a statement not directed at anyone. You’re simply narrating your action as it
happens. Use this formula: Let’s see some examples: If you want to use the narrative form in the past or future tense, use these formulas: Here are some examples: That’s about it for this lesson! Let me know if you have any questions! See you in the next lesson! 다음에 봐요! 안녕! 안녕하세요 여러분! Hey everyone! Earlier in this level we learned about -고 있다, which is the present progressive form in Korean! But there’s another way to say that you are doing something, going somewhere, or that
something is happening – it includes using 중! 시작해 볼까요? Let’s start! Let’s start by defining 중. 중 is a Sino-Korean (meaning it has Chinese roots) syllable (I would call it a word, but I don’t think it can really be used by itself) meaning “middle” or “center.” Here are some words with 중 in them: Do you see a trend? All of these words have something to do with being in the center of something – the average of a set of numbers is in between the smallest and largest numbers, and if something it important, it might be the center of your focus. 중 can be attached to
nouns to communicate that something is currently in session or that something is happening right now. Think of this as saying that something is in the middle of happening. Simply attach 중 to a noun like so: This brings us to 중이다, which literally means “to be the middle.” It’s useful as a form of the present progressive, as in you are doing something right now or that something is in the middle of happening. As seen above, you can simply add 중이다 to a noun to mean that something is happening or that you are doing something: You can also attach -는 중이다 to verb stems as a present
progressive form to say that you are doing something or in the middle of doing something. Use this formula: For example:

We’re going to start of Level 7 with a grammar structure you hear all the time in Korean: -ㄴ/은/는데. There are a few different ways in which -ㄴ/는데 can be used, so let’s start with the first one! One of the ways to use -는데 is to use the word 그런데, which is often shortened to 근데. There’s not exactly a perfect English translation for this in English, but it usually means “but” or “but then.” Usually, the first sentence before the one starting with 근데 gives some type of background information followed by a contradictory statement. I think some sample sentences can clarify how exactly it’s used: -ㄴ/는데 Instead of using 근데, you can combine to sentences with -ㄴ/은/는데.
Use the formula below: For instance, we can combine the two sentences above from the first example: Using -ㄴ/는데 doesn’t always necessarily mean “but.” A lot of times, it can judt be used for giving background information. Let’s look at a sentence from Talk to Me in Korean: The sentences I’ve provided so far have all been questions, but this structure can be used for regular statements as well. For instance: Sometimes, you can end a sentence with -ㄴ/는데(요). This can also give a nuance of
“but…” and is usually used to disagree with another person. Let’s see some example conversations: In these types of sentences, Person 2 is giving a reason for not doing something, or somehow contradicting what Person 1 says. That was a long lesson! But you made it to the end! I hope this was helpful! This is a really common structure in Korean, so it’s good to know! Please ask any questions you may have!

This is just a short list, but hopefully you can learn some new vocab! Let’s begin! That’s about it for this list! 제일 좋아하는 먹을 것과 마실 게 뭐예요? What’s are your favorite things to eat and drink? Type it in Korean in the comments! See you in the next lesson! 안녕! 안녕! Hey everyone! In this lesson, I want to teach you all about the different ways to say “or” in Korean! Unlike in English, there are multiple ways to say “or,” so let’s get started! 아니면 is one of the most common ways to say “or.” If you’ve seen my lesson about
how to say “if,” you know that 아니면 literally translates to “if not.” Therefore, it’s useful when connecting two nouns together, like when saying something like “this or that”: It’s also commonly used when asking questions: *Note: I broke this example into two separate questions because technically it literally
translates to “Should we take the subway? Or should we take a taxi?” But on Naver Dictionary, a lot of similar sentences are just written like 지하철 탈까요 아니면 택시 탈까요? If you’re familiar with Korean, this seems a little odd since it just looks like a run-on sentence, like two complete sentences are just side-by-side without the necessary punctuation. I think that this is still okay, at least in spoken Korean (I’m not too sure how you would write this, however). I would say don’t worry too
much about punctuation and just focus on the meaning for now! Let’s see some more examples! Pretty simple, I hope? Let’s move on! (-이)나 is similar to
아니면, but can only be attached to nouns: -거나 is the same thing as -(이)나 but is used for verbs and adjectives like so: For example: 혹은 and 또는 function similarly to 아니면 and -(이)나. The main difference, however, is that 혹은 and 또는 are much more formal, so you likely would not hear them that often. I don’t think that there’s a significant
difference between 혹은 and 또는 though – 혹은 has Chinese roots while 또는 is a native Korean word I believe, but other than that they’re interchangeable! Y’all know I love a good chart lol so here’s a chart to sum up this lesson! That’s pretty much it for this lesson! I recommend you guys check out Talk to Me in Korean’s video about this topic as well since I referenced it while making this lesson! Don’t

Thank you for your generosity! See you next time! 다음에 봐요! 안녕! Hi! This vocab lesson will be focusing on how to say colors in Korean! Before we begin, let’s learn about how colors are used in the language. Most colors in Korean end with the syllable 색 meaning “color.” This particle may, however, be dropped when using a color to describe a noun. For example:
*Note that dropping the 색 can only work for some colors when modifying nouns, including 빨간색, 노란색, 녹색, 녹색, 검은색, 파란색, and 하얀색. For any colors other than these, just attach it before a noun:
You may also see some colors ending in 빛. You can use these colors as adjectives also by simply adding them to a noun:
Now that we know how to use colors, let’s learn some of them! Red = 빨간색
Orange = 주황색
Yellow = 노란색
Green = 녹색
Blue = 파란색 /푸른색
Indigo = 쪽빛Violet = 보라색
More Colors
Let’s learn about some adjectives you can use to describe colors now! Adjectives
That’s about it for this lesson! Hope it was helpful! 제일 좋아하는 색깔 뭐예요? What’s your favorite color? Comment it! See you in the next lesson! 안녕! Anonymous asked: What
does are ~게, ~라서, and 해야하다? Could you also please give examples of how to use them in sentences? Thanks! 1. -게-게 can have a few different meanings. One of them is that it turns adjectives into adverbs. Just attach -게 to the stem:
You might also hear -ㄹ/을게(요), which is one of the future tenses in Korean. It’s essentially used for saying that you will do something that concerns the person you’re talking to. For example:
The final usage I’m going to talk about (although there are more which I will link some of my lessons to below) is -게 하다 and -게 만들다. They mean the same thing – to make someone do something. -게 하다 can also mean to let someone do something. For example:
2. -(이)라서-(이)라서 is attached to a noun to mean “because it is [noun]” or “because of [noun] For example:
3. -아/어야 하다-아/어야 하다 is attached to verb stems to mean that the subject has to do something or should do something. For example:
I hope all of this helps! If you want more info on any of these topics, check out the lessons below! 화이팅! Also, I don’t have a lesson about adverbs yet, so maybe I’ll make one in the future!
