때문에 - Because

때문에 can be placed after a noun to mean ‘because of (that noun)’ e.g.

커피 때문에 - Because of coffee 학교 때문에 - Because of school

You can then go onto say the event that occurred because of the noun e.g.

커피 때문에 졸리지 않아요 - Because of coffee I’m not sleepy 학교 때문에 저는 공부해야 해요 - Because of school I have to study

You can also put a clause before 때문에 however, the clause must be in noun form so 기 should be added:

비싸기 때문에 살 수 없어요 - Because it is expensive I can’t buy it 오늘은 비가 오기 때문에 가기 싫어요 - Because it is raining today I dont want to go 저는 배고프기 때문에 밥을 먹고 싶어요 - Because I am hungry I want to eat 저는 저의 고양이에게 먹이를 줘야 하기 때문에 집에 가야 해요 - Because I have to feed my cat I have to go home 저는 수업에 가야 하기 때문에 친구들을 만날 수 없어요 - Because I have to go to class I can’t meet my friends

Useful sentence endings— ~고요, ~군요, ~나요, ~네요, ~더라고요, ~지요

We have already looked at the main formality levels—하십시오체, 해요체, and 해체—and how to end our sentences with them. There are other endings that we can use as well to add extra emotions or nuances to our speech. Today, we’ll take a look at a few common sentence endings.

~고(요)

Our first sentence ending is when you want to add more information sort of like an afterthought. It is the same ~고 that you would see in the middle of a sentence to connect two ideas. For example:

케이크를 먹고 아이스크림도 먹었어요. (I ate cake, and I ate ice cream too.)

Now, we can break this sentence down into two and give it a different feeling with -고 to end our sentence.

케이크를 먹었어요. 아이스크림도 먹었고요. (I ate cake. I ate ice cream, too.)

When written this way, the eating of the ice cream seems like a sort of afterthought or just additional information to eating cake. In the first example, both of the actions, eating cake and eating ice cream, have equal weight.

We can also use sentence-final ~고 to add on to something that someone else already said. For example:

A: 집 청소를 했어? (Did you clean the house?)

B: 응, 빨래도 다 했고. (Yes, and I did all the laundry too.)

~군(요)/구나

This sentence ending is used to express that the speaker learned something new. In 해요체 you can use ~군요 and in 해체 you can use ~군 or ~구나. In English, we might express a similar meaning with a thoughtful “Oh…” at the start of the sentence.

A: 전 요즘 일도 하고 대학원도 다녀요. (Lately I both work and attend grad school.)

B: 많이 바쁘시군요! (Oh, you’re really busy!)

~나(요)

This one is a question ending! It has a nuance of polite curiosity and closeness.

선생님: 숙제를 했나? (Teacher: Did you do your homework?)

아이: 네, 했어요! (Child: Yes, I did!)

어디서 오셨나요? (Where are you from?)

~네(요)

This form is sort of similar to ~군요 except that it has more of a feeling of surprise. It can be positive or negative surprise; both are fine.

원경 씨의 남자 친구는 정말 잘생겼네요! (Wongyeong’s boyfriend is really good-looking!)

오, 이게 맛있네. (Oh, this is delicious.)

표지만 보면 이 책이 재미있어 보이는데 읽고 보니 별로네요. (Just looking at the cover this book seems interesting, but having read it, it’s not that good.)

~더라(고요)

This sentence ending, ~더라고요 (해요체) or ~더라 (해체), is used to recollect or recount something that you personally experienced.

잠깐 나가 봤는데 날씨는 춥더라고요. (I went outside for just a minute; it’s cold out.)

TOEIC 시험을 보려고? 11월에 그 시험을 봤는데 정말 어렵더라… (You plan to take the TOEIC exam? I took it in November; it’s really hard…)

~지(요)

Our last sentence ending of the day is ~지(요)! Often shortened to 죠 when used in 해요체, this one is for confirmation of a fact. It can also be used as a tag question or for emphasis, like saying “… , right?” in English.

A: 내가 부탁한 거 가져왔어? (Did you bring the thing I asked you for?)

B: 응, 가졌지! (Yes, of course I brought it!)

Another example:

그 고양이가 귀엽죠? (That cat is cute, right?)

As always, happy studying~

Polyglot Diary Ideas

I recently saw a post (sorry I don’t have your @) about what a good idea it is to keep a diary in your target language. It will help you realize what words you don’t know, you need, and want to learn! Plus it’s great practice!

So I thought I’d drop some ideas/prompts for you to try once a day, or at your own pace.

Keys

Underline words you use often, so you can later look up synonyms!

Write words you aren’t sure you’re using correctly in a different color.

Put a * next to words you’re having trouble memorizing, and put definitions of that word at the bottom of the page.

Prompts

Introduce yourself!

Introduce your family.

How many siblings do you have?

What are they like? (Try to use at least three adjectives!)

What do you like to do?

What are your favorite foods?

When you go to a restaurant, what do you like to order?

What year are you in school?

What subjects did you take in school?

What is your favorite season?

Why is it your favorite?

What don’t you like?

Say something about one of your friends! (Try to use at least three adjectives!)

Name a memory with your friend.

What’s your favorite color/animal?

Introduce your pets!

What are they like?

Name a memory with your family!

What is your favorite thing to wear?

What is your favorite type of weather?

What is your favorite holiday?

What do you look like?

Where do you work?

What do you do there?

What did you have for dinner last night? Who was there?

What is your favorite book/show/movie?

What’s it about?

Recite a poem or quote in your target language!

What is your house like? (Ex: My house is small. / I have a brown couch.)

How are you feeling?

What was the last thing you read/watched?

How was it?

What was the last thing you read/watched in your target language?

Do you have any hobbies? (Ex: sports, knitting)

Who did you last see?

What did you guys do?

Where is the last place you went?

How was your day?

Who is your favorite celebrity?

Describe something you saw today.

What did you do yesterday/last week?

What do you hope to do in the future? (Ex: “There’s a concert next week..”)

This is all I can come up with for now, but remember! You do it how you want to do it! It doesn’t have to be artsy, it doesn’t have to be long, or detailed, your handwriting doesn’t have to be pretty. My first page of a language diary was - “Hello, my name is ___, I am __ years old. My moms’ name is ___, I have __ brothers/sisters. Their names are ___.” It’s not supposed to sound sophisticated, it’s supposed to help you learn as you grow. Happy Learning!

Top line: August 2016 hsingnotes Bottom line: October 2017 hsingnotes

Finding my study notebook from when I first got here to Korea made me cry last night. The improvement is real. The difference in my penmanship is like night and day… And I used to study basic words because I knew almost nothing when I arrived ; now I’m studying grammar points that are outside TTMIK’s current workbook curriculum (level 7/8 ish on TTMIK’s website).

While I’ve had the chance to take a formal class this semester, I got here through self study and constant practice. I’m not trying to brag, I’m just reflecting on this past year and a half of work and no matter what the results of my TOPIK are, I’m really proud of myself ;n;

Hard work pays off 😭

오늘의 추천곡: Sorry - 더 로즈 (The Rose)

P. S. I will do posts of the bottom line grammar later!

Hey Archy! What do u think of the architecture of Petra in Jordan?

The city of Petra, capital of the Nabataean Arabs, is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, it is Located 240 km south of the capital Amman and 120 km north of the red sea town of Aqapa.

I don’t think my opinion of Petra matters much taking into consideration it is one of the treasures of humanity. Its one of those things that you cannot look at without wondering about the incredible creativity and artistry of humankind. My words don’t make it justice and its something that I have only been able to see in pictures, maybe someday I can see it with my own two eyes.

Which book would you recommend more: Korean Grammar In Use or Ewha? I self study and I don’t have enough money to splurge on both (｡ ́︿ ̀｡) Would the workbooks be helpful to my studies or is it not worth spending another $15-20 for it?

Hello! We’re not really sure since we’ve never used Korean learning textbooks. However, no matter which one you buy, you can be sure it will help you. Perhaps looking online for free pdf’s would be better if you don’t want to spend money?

Some that we know of are:

My Korean 1

My Korean 2

Basic Korean

Korean for Dummies

Korean From Zero

Korean Grammar in Use (There seem to be many more pdf’s here)

We hope this helps! :)
