(으)ㄴ/는데 and/but

I’m sure all Korean learners have heard the sound of this grammar point at some point in time, but do you know what it means?

This grammar point has multiple translations in English so let’s look at some of them!

1. When introducing something.

2. When something unexpected happens.

3. Providing background information in the first clause.

4. When a situation doesn’t add up (kind of like using a …)

5. Contrasting two things.

These might be a little confusing but as you use this grammar point more you will get used to where this grammar point fits naturally into sentences. I’ll try and explain some of these meanings later on in the post.

Depending on the type of verb that comes before this, it changes slightly.

Action verbs, 있다 and 없다 add 는데 to the verb stem.

Descriptive verbs add (으)ㄴ데 to the verb stem.

겠다 and 았/었다 take 는데

The future tense (으)ㄹ 거예요 becomes (으)ㄹ 건데 

So, let’s go over that.

가다 to go is an action verb so it becomes 가는데. The past tense of 가다 would become 갔는데. The future tense could be 가겠는데 or 갈 건데.

예쁘다 to be pretty becomes 예쁜데.

Now, let’s go back over those meanings.

1. Introducing 여기가 제주도인데 경치가 아름다워요. Here is Jeju island, and the scenery is beautiful.

2. Unexpected things 어제는 생일이 아니었는데 친구가 선물을 줬어요. Yesterday wasn’t my birthday but my friend gave me a present.

3. Background information. 요즈음 한국어를 배우는데 아주 재미있어요. I’m leaning Korean these days and it’s very interesting.

4. A strange situation. “…” 오늘은 일요일인데 왜 학교에 가요? Today is Sunday… why are you going to school?

5. Contrast. 그 책이 재미있는데 조금 어려워요. That book is interesting but difficult.

More examples:

저는 키가 작은데 언니는 키가 커요. I’m short but my sister is tall.

이것은 한복인데 한국 전통 옷이에요. This is a hanbok and it is tradition Korean clothing.

이 음식이 맛있는데 같이 먹을까요? This food is delicious, want to eat it together?

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

Hi, I am currently learning Italian by myself with the help of duolingo. I was wondering if you could explain to me about Italian Clitics? I've tried to google it and stumbled upon several posts, but it's still a mystery to me. Like, what are clitics? When do you use them? How do you use them? Thanks. xx

In Italian, clitics are words used as object pronouns. Depending on their position, we distinguish two types of clitics:

proclitics = the clitic stands alone before a verb (stressed form)

enclitics = the clitic attaches to the preceding verb (unstressed form)

Enclitics attach to gerunds, infinitives, imperatives and (less frequently) past participles, whereas proclitic object pronouns stand alone before the verbs they are the object of. An example would be:

Canto una canzone (I sing a song)

cantala (sing it)cantandola (singing it)cantarla (singing it)la canto (I sing it)

Italian distinguishes between direct (DO) and indirect object (ID) pronouns but, to make things easier and way less complicated, we can divide these pronouns into stressed and unstressed object pronouns.

Stressed object pronouns usually follow the conjugated verb without attaching to it as affixes, and are usually preceded by a variety of prepositions such as di, a, da, in, con etc. that trigger the use of the stressed pronouns.

io - me

tu - te

egli (lui), esso - lui / sé (reflexive)

ella (lei), essa - lei / sé (reflexive)

noi - noi

voi - voi

essi/esse, loro - loro (rare: essi) / sé

amano te (they love you)non è tra di noi (s/he’s not between us)è venuta per te (she came for you)

Unstressed object pronouns always go with a verb, which they can either follow or precede. When they follow the verb (enclitic), they are glued to it as in guardami (look at me),  but when they precede it they stand on their own (proclitic).

io - mi

tu - ti

egli (lui), esso - lo (DO) / gli (IO) / si (reflexive)

ella (lei), essa - la (DO) / le (IO) / si (reflexive)

noi - ci

voi - vi

essi/esse, loro - li, le

Bear in mind that we use different 3rd person pronouns based on whether we’re talking about a direct or indirect object. For example

scrivigli una lettera (write him a letter) [IO]gli scrivo una lettera (I’m writing him a letter) [IO]scrivila (write it) [DO]la scrivo (I’m writing it) [DO]

What happens when you join both direct and indirect personal pronouns? Consider the following example:

mi ha mandato la lettera (s/he has sent me the letter)me l’ha mandata (s/he sent it to me)

Here la lettera is the direct object, while mi is the indirect object. In the second sentence la (l’) is the direct object pronoun meaning la lettera, while me is still the indirect object.

When both the direct and the indirect object are present in the same sentence, the indirect object changes form.

io - me lo / me la / me li / me le

tu - te lo / te la / te li / te le

egli (lui), esso - glielo / gliela / glieli / gliele

ella (lei), essa - glielo / gliela / glieli / gliele

noi - ce lo / ce la / ce li / ce le

voi - ve lo / ve la / ve li / ve le

essi/esse, loro - /

la zia ha regalato un libro a Giulio (the auntie gave Giulio a book)gli ha regalato un libro (s/he gave him a book)gliel’ha regalato sua zia (her auntie gave it to him/her)

I hope this helps, but if you’re still confused feel free to send me another message. Also you can check my personal pronouns tag! :)

Today as I was meeting with one of my professors, she said something that took me by surprise. I had just told her that one of my fellow classmates, who has been struggling in the class, had been coming to me for help studying, and she said “Oh good!” very emphatically. I clarified, “that she’s studying with others?” and she said, “No, that she’s studying with you.” 

She said that the girl in question had been in a study group, with other students in the class that are also struggling and have a very negative view of their success in the class. My professor saw it as very important that this student not only study, but study in a positive, encouraging environment. 

When I added that I had also been studying with one of the other high achieving students in the class, she was thrilled and said that the two of us were the two highest performers in the class. 

So this isn’t just to brag about how great of a student I am, but also to remind other studyblrs that the attitude of who you surround yourself with is a huge predictor of success. It’s great to work with other people who don’t work as hard or score as high as you, as long as you are conscious of that, and also have your own circle of support. And if you are someone who is looking for tutors or study buddies, be aware that their attitude, as much as their grades, will affect you.
