여러분… 뭐를 잘 하세요?
(Everyone… What are you good at?)

Max,
정말이에요? 무슨 악기를 하세요?

저는 컴퓨터를 잘 해요. 어릴 때부터 흥미를 가졌거든요.

저는 음악도, 악기 연주도, jewelry making(보석 만들기)도 못 해요 ㅠ.ㅠ

저는 다 잘 해요. ㅋㅋ

저는 음악을 정말 못 해요. 노래도 못 하고, 악기도 연주할 수 없어요 ^^;;;

제 가 음악이 잘 헤요. 여섯살 부터 부터 헤요.
–> 저는 음악을 잘 해요. 여섯살부터 했어요.

Bouks, I think your jewelries are really nice!

What you wrote
“저는 jewelrymaking 잘헤요. 근데… marketing 정말 잘못헤요. 그래서…I don’t sell much jewelry ” can be written in Korean like this
–> 저는 보석을 잘 만들어요. 근데… 마케팅은 정말 잘 못 해요. 그래서 보석을 많이 못 팔아요.”

우와, 대학생 때 달리기 선수였어요? 그런데 허리를 다쳐서 못 뛴다니 안타깝네요. 지금도 허리가 많이 아파요?

등을 다쳐서 –> 허리를 다쳐서
unless what you injured is your ‘등’ from below neck to over waistline.

You can say
대학생 때 5킬로, 10킬로 달리기 선수였는데 허리를 다쳐서 지금은 안 뛰어요.

ええええなるほど。Quite simple when you explain it that way. How lucky we are to have a Japanese speaking 선셍님.

일번어 할수 있는 선셍님이 있었어 좋아요!

초콜릿케이크를잘구워요.외과수술도잘해요… ᅵhope !

Is there an RSS feed for Beginner S2?

Arrrgggghhhh, comments disappeared again!!!

Take 2.

Does 잘 먹었습니다 literally mean “I ate well”? Is that why you are thanking the person for the nice food? Is that the only way it’s conjugated? Does anyone say “잘 먹멌어요”?

Something unrelated to grammar: why is it that when the surname “이” is romanized, it becomes “Lee” instead of “Yee” or “Ee”?

Shan,

Sorry that the comments are disappearing on you :T But it happens to me almost daily, so don’t be too upset

that’s right, 잘 먹었습니다 literally means “I ate well.” And just like you mentioned, it can be conjugated in the standard politeness level “잘 먹었어요.” But the thing what that is that it’s not used very often. When you’re thankful for a meal, you try to be as polite and nice as possible. So it’s not common that one would consciously lower their politeness level if they are truly thankful. I hope this helps and explains what you were looking for

I know this is a little late but actually 투수 isn’t really purely Korean. 투 or 投 means to throw or toss so 투자 is invest literally meaning throw capital(or resource) and 투표 is vote or literally throw ticket. And 수 is hand in chinese. This is sometimes added to words to essentially mean a expert of the word before. But essentially it is a doer of the verb like -er in english. It is very similar to 자 and 사. 자 essentially has the meaning of person. It tends to be attached to things that aren’t very special. 사 essentially means master and usually attached to professions like teacher or lawyer.
