Intermediate / Lesson 36: -는 데(에)

안녕하세요! Today we have a short lesson about a useful structure that’s used for talking about what doing an action requires: -는 데(에). Let’s start!

-는 데(에) is used for talking about what it takes to do an action. This will become clearer in the examples, but let’s start with a formula:

[verb stem] + 는 데(에)

The -에 is optional.

This is not to be confused with -ㄴ/은/는데, which does NOT have a space between -ㄴ/은/는 and 데!

Here are some examples:

커피를 한 잔 사는 데에 천원이에요. = It is 1,000 won to buy a cup of coffee.

This example talk about what it takes to do the action of buying a cup of coffee, which is 1,000 won.

떡볶이 만드는 데에 떡고 고추장이 필요해요. = In making tteokbokki, you need rice cakes and red chili paste.

When the verb stem ends in ㄹ, drop the ㄹ!

한국어를 배우는 데에 매일 연습해야 돼요. = You have to practice everyday when learning Korean.

This example talk about what you need to do to learn Korean, which is practice everyday. Notice how you can say you need to do an action or you need a noun when using this structure!

에쎄이를 쓰는 데에 일단 주제에 대한 연구해야 돼요. = In writing an essay, you first have to do research on your topic. 

That’s about it for this lesson – I hope it was helpful! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions :) 다음에 또 봐요!

Real Skincare Guide

Level 1: breakouts, non-painful, a little scarring

Minimize your skincare routine, all you need is an oil cleanser (if you wear a lot of makeup) than a good foam cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Repeat the same routine before bed just without the sunscreen.

Wear sunscreen everyday!!!

Always apply more moisturizer than you think you need.

Drink a lot of water (2-3LT)

Get consistent sleep

Take a multi vitamins to balance your hormones. I recommend the One-A-Day Woman’s Vitamins (get a real pill cause the gummies don’t have enough iron)

Work on your stress (breathe work, meditate, journal, yoga, walks, going out with friends, therapy, etc)

Look at what body oils/shampoo/conditioner you are using. Could be your akin reacting poorly to something in there.

Level 2: consistant breakouts, acne, scarring

All the stuff for Level 1 apply.

Minimize your skincare routine and than slowly add back in stuff like hydrochloric acid and retinol. Having an elaborate skincare will just make your skin worse. First, focus on healing your skin barrier.

If you are a teenager, it just might be your hormones/growing pains. It will go away eventually.

Pimple Patches work and are especially good if you are trying to stop touching your face.

Wash your pillow cases every 1-2 weeks.

Try to sleep on your back.

If you pop a pimple than apply an antibiotic ointment.

No point in using anti-aging products if you are under the age of 25. It just won’t do anything for you.

Note that if you take in a lot of nicotine you will breakout. If you smoke and you have bad skin, it probably won’t improve unless you quit or lessen the dosage.

Level 3: painful consistent breakouts/acne/scars, redness, irritability, hurts,

Go see a dermatologist!

Acne is can be a real problem. If your acne is painful seek professional help.

If Accutane is recommended, than I would do it. Based only on the experiences of my friends, I have seen great results after a couple months. There are side effects and it is not for everyone but if a professional says you should than I might consider it.

No topical treatment is going to make those scars go away. You are going to need to laser resurfacing which is like this secret treatment rich people do to clear up their skin. It is expensive but really works. Beauty brands want you to think that the right cream can clear up your skin but if you have bad scarring you are only going to see real results with laser treatments

All of the above recommendations still apply

Your acne does not take away from your beauty or your worth as a human being. Remember that acne is normal and social media is fake.

- blank thoughts -

I never wanted to cry so hard...I have no one. The silence is so loud, yet I prefer it. Where I hear no one...the music can no longer block my blurry vision of tears falling into my hands....as my tears is the only thing I can hold close to myself.
