여러분… 뭐를 싫어해요? (yeoreobun… mwo-reul silheohaeyo?)

What do you dislike?

저도 고양이를 좋아하지 않습니다. 싫어한다고 하기 좀 강해요. 사실은 고양이가 저를 싫어한것 같아서 저는 고양이를 좋아하지 않습니다.

I have no problem with dogs. They don’t seem to have a problem with me either. I currently don’t have a dog but do have a cat. The cat actually belongs to my daughter, I just buy the food.

궐련를 싫어해요. Yuck!

Can I also use

않좋아하 다

to say I don’t like something?

What a coincidence! i was studying yesterday the words
싫어하다 and 싫다

The 2 of them mean the same.
But when do i use each one?

I sometimes hear in the tv 싫어!
So when they use 싫어, are they using 싫다 or 싫어하다?

오스틴, you were quick. 하하.

Everything you said about 싫어해요 and 싫어 is correct and well explained, and just to add to it,

싫다 and 싫어하다 basically mean the same thing,
but the subjects of the sentences are different.

If you hate 고양이(cat),

You can say

저는 고양이를 싫어해요 (I hate cats)

or

저는 고양이가 싫어요. (For me, cats are something that I hate.)

담배(cigarettes)가 싫은 사람 = A person for whom cigarettes are something that he/she hates.

담배를 싫어하는 사람 = A person hates cigarettes.

You know “하다” is an action, so 싫어하다 and 좋아하다 have more ‘action’ in them than just 싫다 좋다.

감사합니다 오스틴하고 선현우!:g

I still have some confusion. Need to study this more haha!

맛다! 그런데, 왜 컴퓨터를 싫어해요? 당신의 마움대로 컴퓨터가 싫어요?

Right! But, why do you hate them? According to your feeling, are they something to hate?

맛다! –> 맞아요.

당신의 마움대로
–> 당신 기분에

Jaqueline, I adore computers too!

저도 컴퓨터를 너무 너무 너무 좋아해요. ㅎㅎㅎ

(What you said is correct, Jacqueline)

that video was so cute!!

아 진짜!

Great video! It put a grin on my face.

Great Video HyunWoo! :

I like this part:
아 진짜! 몰라 몰라!

Sounds like a good idea, Austin. The hard part will be nailing enough people down, myself included… unpredictable schedules and all that! (e.g. Wednesday I had finished a long day at school. I was about to leave at 10:15 PM for a relaxing evening at home, when I was all of a sudden told that there was a farewell dinner that night for a teacher.)

I just joined yesterday and I listened to this lesson. It was too funny. You do a very good job. I will probably do a monthly basic subscription. The two hosts do very well. Sujin sounds cute and reminds me of another Korean firend of mine. Thanks for the lessons. God Bless.

Hi 비누,

번데기를 진짜 좋아하네요? 제 생각에는 번데기의 냄새가 질섹이에요. 겨우 그냄새를 맡아서 배가 아프기 시작 해요!

Daniel,

It could be better this way

“저는 번데기 냄새가 질색이에요. 냄새만 맡아도 배가 아프기 시작해요!”

:D Is it true? Too bad … I am not *crazy* about 번데기(or 뻔데기 as we pronounce it more often), but I am okay with that. 아마 익숙해서 그런가 봐요!

Vangelicmonk,

어서오세요! Welcome to the site!!!!

현우

넵.현우～！한국에서 같이 먹어 주세요.너무 기쁘다.아 진짜！

사라,

Exactly.

You know that “-하다” is basically “to do”, right?

Almost all the adjectives can be converted into this form and made into a verb to show attitude or action

기쁘다 = to be happy
기뻐하다 = to be happy (with actions)

So
그는 기뻤어요. is just “He was happy.” but
그는 기뻐했어요. means “He showed his happiness.” or “I could see that he was happy by his facial expressions and gestures.”

무섭다 = to be scary
무서워하다 = to fear something

춥다 = to be cold
추워하다 = to feel cold, to show that you’re cold

맛있다 = to be delicious
맛있어하다 = to like the taste

We’ll be covering this in a future lesson, but it’s good to know because you know can basically turn any 형용사(adjectives) into 동사(verbs)

I hope this helps, Sarah!

사라,

한국어에 대한 센스가 뛰어난 것 같아요!
(I think you have an outstanding ’sense’ for 한국어!)

Steve, that’s right. In Korean, the subject or even the object is very often ‘dropped’, and I think it’s partly because we’re used to the use of subject/object markers (은/는/이/가/을/를). These little markers sort of form the ideas around to make them combined together and logical… so sometimes, even without those markers and even without the subject/object, Korean people can get themselves across. (But in my head I would still have the object as an image… )

저는 한국어교실101.com 진짜좋아해요!

Haha Jonas is quite strange I agree
But If someone tell you “Saranghamnida” (I love you), how do you reply “I don’t love you?”.

oh ok thanks!!!
Haha I know because I listen to several podcast per day and I love to comment =P School will start soon and I won’t have much time to listen to them
Oh and…you know that I have a Korean teacher now…well she’s not a real teacher, she’s only Korean and accept to teach in a “less professional” way, but she has an accent…it’s not really about her accent but instead of “shi” as you guys say, she says “ci” and when I say “shi” she keeps correcting me lol In drama people say “shi” also I know. Do you know the word “Abuya” something like that? It’s like “What the hell” and people almost always say that in dramas heh heh But my teacher doesnt know that word so is it really a word? Hope I dont get too annoying with my comment heh heh Mianeyo
Annyong!
