Honorific form ~(으)세요

This honorific marker should be added to verbs when speaking with someone who deserves respect i.e. parents, people older than you, teachers, doctors… When talking about yourself you don’t use this form!  (The infinitive form of ~(으)시 is ~(으)시 + 어 = ~(으)셔) 

Present tense:

(Remember 다 is dropped from the dictionary form of the verb)

Verb stem ending with a consonant + 으세요 Verb stem ending with a vowel + 세요 

앉 + 으세요 = 앉으세요 - To sit  읽 + 으세요 = 읽으세요 - To read 가 + 세요 = 가세요 - To go  오 + 세요 = 오세요 - To come 이 + 세요 = 이세요 - To be (이다) 

Irregulars: (note this isn’t the case for all verbs as there are some regular ones too!)

ㄷ Irregular: Just like polite present tense conjugation (아/어/해요), some verbs have their final ㄷ dropped and replaced with ㄹ

듣다 - To listen The final ㄷ is dropped and replaced with ㄹ + 으세요 = 들으세요

걷다 - To walk  The final ㄷ is dropped and replaced with ㄹ + 으세요 = 걸으세요 

ㄹ Irregular:  The final consonant ㄹ is dropped 

살다 - To live  Remove the final ㄹ + 세요 (since the verb now ends with the vowel ㅏ) = 사세요

알다 - To know  Remove the final ㄹ + 세요 (since the verb now ends with the vowel ㅏ) = 아세요 

열다 - To open  Remove the final ㄹ + 세요 (since the verb now ends with the vowel ㅕ) = 여세요 

ㅂ Irregular:  If ㅂ is followed by a vowel, the ㅂ is dropped and 우 is added

덥다 - To be hot  Remove the ㅂ and add 우 + 세요 =  더우세요

무섭다 - To be scary Remove the ㅂ and add 우 + 세요 =  무서우세요 

ㅅ Irregular:  Just like polite present tense conjugation (아/어/해요), the ㅅ is dropped but the vowels are not contracted (example below), therefore even if the final character is a vowel 으세요 should be added

낫다 - 나아요 (Present tense) - To get better  Drop the final ㅅ + 으세요 = 나으세요 

붓다 - 부어요 (Present tense) - To swell/pour Drop the final ㅅ + 으세요 = 부으세요

-(으)ㄹ수록 [-(으)면  -(으)ㄹ수록]

-(으)ㄹ수록 translates closely to��“The more…, the more…”

Verb stems ending in a consonant use -을수록, verb stems ending in a vowel are followed by -ㄹ수록, and verb stems ending in ㄹ use -수록.

Examples:

가다 -> 갈수록 = The more you go, the more…

비싸다 -> 비쌀수록 = The more expensive it is, the more…

이상하다 -> 이상할수록 = The stranger it is, the more…

사람이 많을수록 좋아요. The more people there are, the better.

재미있는 사람일수록 인기가 많아요. The more interesting the person is, the more popular they will be.

-(으)면  -(으)ㄹ수록 means just the same thing as -(으)ㄹ수록, but sometimes people just use -(으)면 and repeat the verb with the -(으)ㄹ수록 part.

Examples:

보면 볼수록 마음에 들어요. The more I see it, the more I like it.

많으면 많을수록 좋아요. The more, the better.

빨간 모자 - Little Red Riding Hood (Red Cape) Pt.1

옛날 옛날에 모두의 사랑을 받는 작고 귀여운 소녀가 있었습니다. 하지만 그 소녀를 가장 사랑하는 것은 그녀의 할머니였습니다. 할머니는 소녀에게 무엇을 줘야 할지 몰랐습니다. 한번은 할머니가 소녀에게 붉은 벨벳으로 만들어진 모자를 선물했습니다. 소녀에게 그 모자가 잘 어울렸고, 소녀가 그 모자가 아닌 다른 것은 쓰지 않으려고 했습니다. 그래서 그 소녀는 ‘빨간 모자'라고 불렸습니다.

Korean Resources Masterpost

Merry Christmas @tollpehely ! This is my present to you! I hope you have an amazing Christmas and New Year. Korean is a language I have enjoyed learning so I really do hope these resources are of good use to you.

A difficult aspect in learning a language is finding resources. Thankfully with Korean there are plenty. More than plenty actually. Personally, I use various resources just because some explain a certain grammar point better or sometimes I need to complement with other ones. I decided to make a list of my favorite resources and where to find them.

Note: The star is for something I highly recommend.

Grammar

★ How to study Korean - This website is great for really understanding the grammar. For some it’s too much but I like how detailed it is.

★ Go! Billy Korean - I like how simple his explanations are in contrast to How to study Korean. You can find his pdfs and lessons here or click here to download most of them up till lesson 91.

★ Korean Grammar in Use - One of my favorites just because it helps a lot when learning HOW to use the grammar. How to study Korean is great for understanding the grammar, but Korean Grammar in Use goes into detail. For example the conjugation charts are really helpful. I have the pdfs from Beginner to Advanced with the audio and answer keys.

Vocabulary

★ Memrise: TTMIK: The Korean Verbs Vol. 1 - A course with practice sentences for the most common verbs. You can also just use this as a guide for which verbs you should learn first.

★  Memrise: TTMIK: The Korean Verbs Vol. 2 - More useful verbs.

TTMIK: Word Showdown - This small pdf explains the differences between commonly used words. I recommend it.

TTMIK: Korean Slang Expressions Volume 1 - Like the name states, Talk to me in Korean shows useful slang expressions through a brief explanation, examples and sample Dialogue.

TTMIK: Korean Slang Expressions Volume 2  

TTMIK: Everyday Korean Idiomatic Expressions   

Listening Practice

Some popular Korean shows to practice.

The Unit -   Ex-idols who never got to shine, and current idols who want to make a name for themselves perform on stage to prove their worth. They will perform in front of Rain, Hwang Chi Yeul, Hyun A, Tae Min, San E, and Jo Hyun Ah. Will the young artists be able to impress the judges?

MasterKey -  Korea’s hottest celebrities come together for an exciting game show where they must use their sixth sense to find the one who’s lying and hiding the ‘master key’! Can they find the liar?

★ Exo Showtime -  A South Korean documentary starring the boy group Exo that allows the fans to see behind-the-scenes of Exo’s daily lives and how they act offstage. It’s one of my favorites and always will be. 

The Return of Superman -  Fathers may not be perfect.. but that’s alright if they aren’t perfect! There’s nothing like a father’s love to boost our spirits. The dads who used to spend all their time working have returned home on ‘The Return of Superman’.

Fast Drama - I won’t recommend a specific drama since there are too many and everybody has their own taste. I did recommend variety shows because those are aimed towards a wider audience. Instead, I recommend this website where you can watch dramas. Note: You can use other websites for watching kdramas. Not this just one.

Reading Practice 

Learning Korean with Humans of Seoul - They break down the phrases, grammar points and words from the Facebook page ‘Humans of Seoul’. Really useful.

Humans of Seoul - Here you can find interesting Korean stories in Korean and English. 

Conjugation

Dongsa - I can’t even express how useful this website is. You can look up a verb to see its conjugations or look up a conjugated verb to see its “dictionary” form.

★ Tengugo - I learned hangul mainly from here and really recommend it. They have mini lessons, audios of how to pronounce each character and quizzes. It works without wifi so you can practice anywhere.

Apps

Lingodeer - I recommend this over Duolingo all the way. You can find  Studiousbees’s review on it here. I love this app and it’s a good way to get used to the basics, like Korean sentence structure which is different from a lot of languages.

Blog

Blogs are super useful for when you don’t understand a grammar point. I only recommended one blog since I prefer learning from grammar books and resources that come straight from native speakers, but their blog is seriously amazing.

Studiousbees - I love their Korean grammar lessons. If you’re advanced, you can also find their Korean News posts here, to practice reading and vocabulary. @studiousbees
