  5. Лами Петрова,

    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?

    • Akmal,

      It’s very easy, actually: we add -이지요 to nouns and -지요 to verb stems

    • jae,

      its actually alr written in the course u just need to read it carefully again

    • Josse7,

      As far as I know, 이지요 comes from de combination between the verb 이다 and the verb ending -지요.
      For example: 오늘 수요일이지요?

  16. Phuong Tran Ngoc,

    Dear TTMIK team,
    Thanks a lot for the amazing work that you do for us to learn Korean!
    I have a question related to the listening lesson of level 4. I cannot find in which previous lesson have we learnt the conjugation of 새 컴퓨터 사 줄게

    Also I understand all the grammar points, but I hardly remember them afterwards, the same with vocabulary. Do you think the tip is to write down things as much as possible?

    Many thanks!

    • Jerry Chen,

      Hi,
      I’m not part of the TTMIK team, but I think something that helped me remember the grammar points is to write sentences using those grammar points that relate to your own life. It helps me at least remember it. hope this is helpful!

  17. moonchild,

    Hi
    I have a doubt about lesson 13
    Why did they say 불변해하지 마세요 instead of 불변하지 마세요?

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      Good question 🙂 불편해하지 마세요=Don’t be uncomfortable.
      불편하다 -> Focus on your feelings. ex) 나는 지금 불편하다. 지수는 지금 불편하다.
      불편해하다 -> Focus on your act. Imagine that you describe someone’s act. ex) 지수는 불편해하고 있어.

  18. Anandhi ,

    Hi! I have a doubt in lesson 10.

    He is popular among friends.
    = 친구들 사이에서 인기가 많아요.
    Why is there 들 after 친구? Even if it’s an object particle shouldn’t it be 친구를 ?

    • Paula✨,

      Hello!
      As Yasuko told you, it is a particle that indicates the plurality of the noun that is attached to. In the context that is used here, it means “friendS”, remarking that it is more than one.

    • Yasuko,

      들 is not an object particle.
      It means “plural”
      친구-들 = friend-s
      I’m Japanese, so sorry for my poor English…

    • jasmine,

      tysm, I didn’t ask the question but I was thinking the same thing. Also, your English is great don’t worry haha

    • Afreen Fatima,

      Even I have this doubt! If someone can help us out, please?

    • Talk To Me In Korean,

      So glad that you found us ! XD

  24. jennifer kezia,

    Hi TTMIK! I actually really glad that I found this website. This website and also some videos on the youtube channel helped me a lot with my learning. Now, I just started to learn chapter 4 and It’d be great if I had someone or a group of people that I can learn together with. So, if anyone here have group to learn together, please let me know! 😀

    • Tonye Ogan,

      Hiii, I’m Tonye. It would be cool to know someone else who is learning Korean, and we could learn together and get to know each other if it’s ok with you. 😀

  25. Noemie Quijano,

    Hi TTMIK! Good day! I’m just a little bit confused about one of the examples in Level 4 Lesson 28 wherein the verb to be small which is 작다 when formed with -아/어/여지다 becomes 작아지다. Why is that? I thought -아 is used only when the verb stem ends withㅏ or ㅗ and 여 is special for 하다 only so the rest will use 어. 작다 ‘s verb stem is 작 with final consonant ㄱ therefore it should use 어 but in the example given, what was used was 아. Am I missing something? Kindly enlighten me about this. Would appreciate it a lot. Thank you!

    • Michiko,

      I’m not a TTMIK team but I think it doesn’t talk about the last verb stem but instead the last vowel of the verb stem, so in 작 the last vowel is “ㅏ” so it would be 작+아지다 if you still doubt another one is 재미있다, drop 다. 재미있 it didn’t become 재미있+어지다 because of “ㅆ”but instead the last vowel which is “ㅣ” in “있”. Hope it helps

    • Jiyeon,

      Hi! The verb 작다 became 작아지다 because the the if a word stem ends in a consonant, you should look at the vowel before the last consonant. In that case 아 is the last vowel before ㄱ so 아 was used.

    • Jiyeon,

      *because if the word stem ends…
