Wow, I seriously felt sooooo hungry when I was watching this!!

볼때 진짜 배고파요! (is this correct?)

When you order food, can you just say xxx 하나 (pure korean number) 주세요 without using any counters like 개?

I love cheese and tuna gimbap.
what kind of gimbap do you like?

아~ 김밥 먹어 싶어요 진짜~ 후후

내제일좋아하는김밥은참치김치김밥이에요

라볶이도너무너무좋아해요.

그냥 원조김밥을 좋아해요. 참치김밥도 좋아하지만요…

이런 김밥집에서는 여러 가지 한국 음식을 싼 가격으로 살 수 있어요. 돌솥비빔밥은 건강에 좋은 음식인데 보통 4000원만 들어요! 아, 맛있겠다~~

I’ve NEVER eaten 김밥 before, 엉엉엉!! (which is supposed to be the Korean way of crying, according to the recent newbie lesson?!?!?!)

By the way, what does 맛있겠다 mean? I know 맛있다 of course, but I don’t know that particular conjugation.

Is there a difference between 맛있겠다 and 맛있것 같아요?
And can one use 겠 for “it must” or “it seems” for other words? action verbs? copulas??

Shan- I think the -겠- part of the verb indicates future- it attaches to the stem of the verb

미셸 : )

허리띠를 졸라매는 것도 좋지만, 그래도 맛있는 거 잘 챙겨서 드세요 ^_^!!
Econimizing is good, but please try to make sure you have tasty food

그런데 저는 돈을 아껴야 할 (허리띠를 졸라매야 할) 때가 아니어도 ^^ “원조 김밥” 좋아해요. 맛있어요 ㅎㅎ
But as for me, even when I don’t have to economize (’tighten my belt’), I like the ‘basic gimbap’ anyway It’s really good. Hehe.

BTW, the word 원조 there originally means “original” or “authentic”, but they call the cheapest gimbap in the menu the “원조김밥” because that’s the ‘basic’ form of gimbap - before putting in anything extra ^_^

As a linguist, I’ve read a lot of papers on -겠, and it’s true that it’s one way to form the future. However, from what I’ve read, most scholars call it a “presumptive” suffix - for laypersons, the best way to think of this is with the English words “guess” or “presume”. How wonderful that the Hangeul spelling, while not pronounced “guess” by itself, reflects an orthographic parallel (-gess). So 맛있겠다 from this perspective would be something like “I presume it’ll be delicious”.

And I know you don’t want to become too involved in grammar when it can be done otherwise, but “infix” is appropriate only when an affix can go into a root or stem to mark a specific function. And as far as I am aware, -겠 cannot be inserted into a root/stem, which would mean that this is a suffix rather than an infix. (Infixes are pretty rare world-wide, so it’s not a serious error.) Just thought I’d give you a heads up about that.
