안영하세요 선생님😘😀
Can you correct my sentences
1 열 영 조대했는데, 아무도 안 올 거에요.
2 올해는 작년보다 훨씬 덜추워져요.
3 지금 카페에서 좋아하는 커피살 거에요.
4 다섯영 사람들은 알했는데 아무도 초대 안 할 거에요.
5 일분어가 한국어보다 훨씬 어려워요.
6 제가 회사에 가서 일하고 있어요.
감사합니다 🤗😬😬
5
1. count word for people – 명, not 영
2. I think there should be space after “덜”
3. space after 커피
4. space after 다섯. Also not clear what you wanted to say. Now it says ” 5 people knew, but no one will invite”
5. Japan is 일본
6. perfect, no mistakes
Hope it helps
However, aren’t they both the same in example 1?
Apology if I’m mistaken.
Plus, do not worry about making mistakes, we are all learning
hi!! I am a beginner but I think I can help you. First of all, whenever you wanna use the future tense, always write it this way: 을 거예요 (not 거에요). Secondly, whenever you use the people counter, it is 명, and you don’t really have to say 사람들 after it. That’s all I can say, hope it helps and good luck!!
It’s more easier for me to learn korean when I translate Korean in to my Capampangan dialect rather than translating it in english. Well, Ofcourse in learning languages we have to avoid translating as much as possible.
안녕하세요 *
안여하세요, 전 성생님 않는데 첫 문장이 틀린 것 같아요. 전 아직 한국어를 공보하고있어서 잘 못해요.
omg it took me 10 mins to write that in Korean … please correct the sentence if I wrote it incorrectly 😅
I think the first sentence is supposed to be: 열 명 조대했는데, 아무도 안 올 수도있어뇨.
n also I think the third sentences says, right now Im at a cafe that I liked, I will buy coffee. This is mixing the tenses, and it don’t make sense to me??? Idk im not really good at Korean so sorry if Im wrong. I notice that you spell the person particle 영 instead of 명 haha silly mistake.
hii, I’m a beginner too but I hope I can help you. In the word 안녕하세요, you missed the ㄴ and the ㅇ in the second syllable, and in the word 선생님, the first syllable has batchim ㅇ (I used to make the same mistake so don’t worry too much). In the sentence after the first comma, I guess you wanna say “I am not a teacher but…”, in that case that would be 전 선생님 아닌데, (아니다=to not be, actually the verb 않다 is used to transform verbs into their negative forms). Hope it helped!! And remember we all make mistakes, it’s all about practice and time
I’m sorry I meant in the word 선생님 there’s a ㄴ in the first syllable , not a ㅇ. I’m sorry🤣🤣
안녕하세요* typo
Great lessons! But the answer explanations in unit 30 could be more in depth. Specifically why the wrong answers are wrong.
Hi, I have a question regarding word contractions (lesson 17). I get that you can use them pretty much all the time in daily life speaking, but what about writing? Would shortening the pronouns and topic markers like that be considered rude if included in an email, blog post, website article etc? Are Koreans generally more conservative when it comes to writing style than speech? Thanks in advance, love Level 4 classes! I can really see the progress thanks to you!
Thank you for your comment that could also be helpful to other learners. On the lesson note, you can see some expressions marked as [casual]. We would recommend you try to use them only in your daily life. ex) 이게, 저게, 난 These can sometimes sound very unnatural in former writings like articles. Reading as many writings as possible will help you understand Korean writing’s natural flow while enormously improving your writing skills. 🙂 Hope you find this helpful.
Thanks for the reply! Yes, the thing is i often get confused as to how ‘casual’ casual Korean actually is, if you know what i mean! That’s the ultimate charm of 눈치 i guess 🙂
hello . Is there anyone from UK ( london ) learning korean.Would be great to catch up for practice .
Helloo, I´m starting this level and i want a study partner:) if you want im on twt like @parktoryy
Are you from Turkey?
Hi, this sentence “수영할 줄 알아요?” was in one of the sample conversations in Level 4. I don’t recall ever learning the “할 줄” type of grammar in any of the prior lessons. Will someone please explain this grammar or point me in the right direction?
I think this is on level 3 lessons, it means : Do you know how to …
It’s actually in level 6
Sorry if i’m asking too many questions but uhm i really want to know the answer to this. What’s the difference 많이 있어 and 많아요? On what kind of situations should we add 있다 to the verb? I also this in one in song lyrics “남아있던 기억들이” , 남다 is “to remain” right? but in the lyrics it has 있 in it. Is it because its in 던noun modifying form? Sorry i dont if i explained it well. I dont know if you have an explanation for this or i’m just making things complicated hahahah
So i’ve done my research, apparently verb+아/어여 있다 means “in the state of being” i somehow get it already. I just commented this here because i feel bad for those who might get confuse after reading my prev question
thanks I got an idea 🙂
안녕하세요! I just want to ask how does the 주 work in words like 알아주고싶다, 해줄게 i always see this kind of verb that has 주 in it in song lyrics
Thanks for such a great question ! ^^ 주 has a meaning “do it for someone” For example, “알아주고싶어” means “I wanna know something for you” while “알고싶어” just means “I want to know”. “할게” just means “I’ll do it” while “해줄게” means “I’ll do it for you” . To sum it up, 주 is kind of a nice and kind expression 🙂 Hope this helps.
Hii! I have a doubt, Please somebody explain it. In level 4, lesson 1, in the sentence “재미있는 사람일수록 좋아요” can somebody tell me why 사람is conjugated instead of 재미있다?
Hey, hope I’m not replying too late, I just saw this question after completing the level. As far as I know, none of them is being conjugated, because the conjugated verb is 이다 (“to be”, but different from 있다). So it is saying “재미있는 사람(interesting people)일수록(이다 +ㄹ 수록)(the more they are [interesting]) 좋아요”.
In the sentence 재미있는 사람일수록 좋아요, 재미있다 is not a verb but an adjective for 사람, 재미있는 사람 means a funny/interesting person . Here it means ‘The funnier the person is, the better”, but if it was 재미있을수록 좋아요, it would mean, the funnier/more interesting, the better. Hope I could help you !
In the sentence 재미있는 사람일수록 좋아요, 재미있다 is not a verb but an adjective for 사람, 재미있는 사람 means a funny/interesting person . Here it means ‘The funnier the person is, the better”, but if it was 재미있을수록 좋아요, it would mean, the funnier/more interesting, the better. Hope I could help you !
As I understand it, this makes more sense if you take the alternative interpretation of ‘If you are an interesting person, it’s better’ (as in the final sample sentence in that lesson). Then you can think that the important verb in the construction is 이다 (to be), which is why that’s what’s conjugated rather than 재미있다. I could be wrong though!
So its benefactive. 선생님 고맙습니다 이젠 알겠어요. 🙂
Thank you for asking this question and thank you to TTMIK for the answer! I was wondering the same thing and this really helped!

Hey guys! I’m on level 4 lesson 4. I have a question if anyone can explain it to me. It’s about the verb ending -지요. When is only -지요 and when do we add 이 –> 이지요. It’s the same in level 3 lesson 25 with -네요. I would be really thankful if you can take your time and explain it to me. Is it because of the 받침?
It’s very easy, actually: we add -이지요 to nouns and -지요 to verb stems
its actually alr written in the course u just need to read it carefully again
As far as I know, 이지요 comes from de combination between the verb 이다 and the verb ending -지요.
For example: 오늘 수요일이지요?
