The review dialogue uses this phrase: 같은 회사인가?
Is this using the -(으)ㄴ 가 보다 grammar form without the 보다?
No! It’s a different questioning form, I guess it’ll be seen later on the courses
Hello everyone!! I just Made a group chat in kakao for everyone that wants to practice korean. https://open.kakao.com/o/gXGlV8Uc this Is the link. AND the group Is called “한국어 말기 연습”
Can you please check the sentences? I really hope you do.. 🙏.
Luna said that she is a student
루나 씨가 학생이라고 말해요.
Mr. Lee said that Mr. Hoseok is the director of a popular film.
이 씨가 호셕 씨는 그 인 기간 영화의 영화감독이라고 해요.
Hyun woo heard that it is a beautiful weather
횬우 씨가 아름다운 날씨라고 들어요.
Hyun woo heard that it is a beautiful weather so he wants to go to a restaurant
횬우 씨가 아름다운 날씨라고 들어서 식당에 가공 싶어요.
As soon as I returned home I started cleaning the rooms.
저는 집에 돌아오자마자 방을 청소하는 것은 시작했어요.
I guess you don’t like chocolate.
초콜릿 안 좋아하나 봐요.
I guess the earring is expensive.
귀걸이가 비싼 가 봐요.
I guess the red dress is short.
빨간 드레스가 작은 가 봐요.
이 씨가 is actually wrong….when using 씨 you should use the name or full name, you can’t use just the surname with it…..
Also, in that sentence the main subject is Minho(an example name) not Hoseok, so you should use 은/는 for Minho…
You’re sentence should actually look like this;
민호 씨는 호석 씨가 그 인기간 영화의 감독님이라고 했어요.
Luna said that she WAS a student. 날씨가 학생이라고 *말했어요*.
*루나 씨가*

hi thank you for the apportunity . I am learning korean and I would love to practice sometimes with you but are you korean or are you learning the language too ?
S/he is asking to practice
Hi which workbook or book would you recommend to me if I just finished this level? I don’t really know how to practice, I think I need a workbook to practice.
What’s the difference between 것 같아요 vs 나 봐요 vs 듯해요 ?
것 같아: you say what you think
Ex. 오늘 비가 올 것 같아요. : I think it will rain today.
나 봐요: you guess/ assume (used with action verbs)
Ex. 또 비가 오나 봐요.: I guess it’s raining again.
ㄹ 듯하다: to be likely to/ to be about to(do)
Ex. 비가 올 듯해요. : It’s likely to rain.
저는 Habibe 라고 해요.선생님 물어보다가 대답이 찾고 써러 봐요. 감사합니다.
저는 level 5 를 끝나려고 했는데, 다른 책을 공부해서 안 해요.
안녕하세요 선생님들. 질문 하나 있어요 .. about the chapter 5 review dialogue. They use both forms ..나 보다 and ..나 봐 in various places in the sentences.. is there a change in nuance when using the dictionary form directly e.g. .. 근데 너 그 사람 정말 좋아하나 보다. Related question – wouldn’t this become ..나 본다 in the narrative present tense? I feel like i hear 나 보다 many times in dramas as well
안녕하세요! 저는 선생님이 아닌데 도와드리려고 노력할게요. I’ve noticed that when people use the dictionary form like that, it seems to have an exclamatory 느낌, almost like you just realized it or you feel it a little bit more strongly. I hope this makes sense.
in lesson 14, in the review the sentence 11월 되니까 확 추워졌어요 does it mean its becoming november so it is cold? And you can use 아/어/야서 in this sentence too right?
It means ‘its becoming cold because its January’ and yes you can use 아/어서 with this sentence
omg i just finished level 4!! and im planning on starting level 5 on monday.. but before i start i wanted to practice everything i have learn so far… is there anyone i can study with?
i finished level 4 almost one year ago and just started level 5 today :”
me too
Me too!
Hii!Yeah,I have just finished level 4 as well. Want to practice together?
Hiii, would you like to practice with me? Do you have instagram? I wanna practice korean, too.
Mee too my insts is veeshu1664
I can’t thank you guys enough.
안녕하세요 선생님! I have a question about lesson 14. It says you can’t use -(으)니까 to talk about your own feelings and situations but later uses the example “저 지금 바쁘니까 나중에 전화해 주세요.” I know since it’s an imperative, you can’t use -아/어/여서, but why can we use -(으)니까? Isn’t this describing one’s situation? 더 설명해 주실래요? 감사합니다!
I think the not talking about your own situation thing applies to the effect, rather than the cause. So in that sentence, the effect is ‘please call me later’, which is not about yourself.
I think grammatical points come before one’s personal feelings and situations, so if a sentence is imperative it doesn’t matter whether it describes one’s situation or not, you just know you gotta use -(으)니까.
i am curious abt that too. but it is decided by last imperative thing i think? 저 지금 바쁘니까 나중에 전화해 주세요. 저 지금 바빠서 나중에 전화할게요..
TTMIK is the best. OMG! I listened to the Review conversation of level 4 without reading the dialogue and I understood 97% of the conversation. I can’t express how happy I am. I Started learning Korean 4 months ago. TIP ADVICE, consistency is the key guys, keep going, its better to keep going than to stop and start over again! I love you (my Korean teachers), I really hope to meet you guys some time later. I am looking forward fr more fun in the coming LEVELS.
Level 5 Lesson 8- is it only me but is the “~ㄴ 데” in “카메라 살 건데, 뭐가 좋아요” is still in future lesson?
it is in level 3 lesson 21
I already know lesson 21 from level 3 but i think it is a different structure. Am I right?
카메라 살 건데 is basically doing two things. It’s saying “I’m going to buy a camera but…” and it’s connecting it to the other point of the sentence which we learned in level 3. The particle 가 can be used when you are describing something in a sentence so in 뭐가 좋아요? it is saying what is good about the camera (very loosely translated as “describe what is good”)
Hello! I have a question about Lesson 4 (I guess, I assume). I’d like to say that someone is ‘하다 verb’, for. example someone is diligent (부지런하다). Can I use the -나 보다 form here to say “I guess he is diligent” – 부지런하나 봐요? Is such descriptive phrase still an action verb? Same could go with “I guess it’s important, She must be wealthy”… There’s quite a handful of 하다 descriptive forms and I can never tell if they’re still action verbs, or already adjective verbs. Hope my question is clear! PS In the ‘diligent’ sentence, would 부지런한 사람 같아요 be a good way to say it? (Does it carry similar meaning?) Thank you!
Cmiiw, -하다 here is used to make a noun like “부지런” become verb (whether it’s an action or description verb) so 부지런하다 in english is “to be diligent”, (for example 건강 is “health” and 건강하다 is “to be healthy”. So 부지런하다 is still description verb. And refer to the grammar, -ㄴ가 보다 is used here and it become 부지런한가 보다.
부지런한 사람 같아요 is correct.
Thank you, hope it’ll help. ^^
The way to know descriptive verbs is always by translation so “to be diligent ” is descriptive !
Hi 한역하세요 ~
I have a question about lesson number 14 (으)니까, as I understand from the lesson ~(으)니까 Can be used when the end of the sentence is about an order or recommendation ( let’s~) I can use ~(으)니까 and if it’s about feelings ( like something that happened in the past) I can use ~ 서. Then why in the simple dialogue the woman used the ~(으)니까 structure? ( 시험 끝나니까 너무 좋아요)
And I have to say that TTMIK is the BEST way to learn Korean ! I’m in love with this website !!You’re doing a great job~!
Thank you ^^
(으)니까 is used to explain why something happens or someone does/feels something. That’s why 시험 끝나니까 너무 좋아요 is also correct. ->시험 끝나니까 너무 좋아요(ㅇ) 시험 끝나서 너무 좋아요(ㅇ) Both of these can be translated into this: Since(Because) the exam is over, I feel so great! Don’t forget that (으)니까 is like ‘because, since, as’! 🙂 Hope this helps.

Hi
Can someone tell me what’s the difference between 기 and 는 것
And why sometimes instead of 는 것 we see just 는
Feel free to provide some examples
Thank you
Hmm. From my understanding
1.Verb stem + 기 and 2. Verb stem + 는 것 are both conjugations used to convert a verb in to a noun.
1. 기 -> more natural and commonly used in speaking
2. 는것 -> more formal and commonly used in written literature (Books/Poems/Songs etc)
공부하는 것 vs 공부하는
공부하는 것 is a noun while 공부하는 is a descriptive verb
Example: 공부하는 사람 (A person who is studying)
Hope it helps you in away. 🙂
