definitely! 보여 줄게 come come and play!

싱가폴에는 자판기가 진짜 여러가지 종류로 있구나! 나중에 싱가폴에 가면 다 보여 줘 ㅎㅎㅎ (There are so many types of vending machines in Singapore! Show me all of them when I go there one day )

Emily,

Actually you should give it a try - it’s quite nice
한번 마셔 봐. 생각보다 맛있어 ㅎㅎ 특히 아주 더울 때, 차갑게 해서 마시면 아주 좋아!

Ed,

한국에서도 3년 전에는 그 정도 가격이었던 것 같아요. 지금은 조금 더 비싸졌지만요 ^^ I think it was around that price too in Korea 3 years ago. It’s become more expensive now, though

Margaret, please take Manyakumi’s tip What he wrote was exactly what you wanted to know!! It’s not necessarily a matter of the conversation being colloquial or not

And yes, 두번 means twice and 두번째 means the 2nd time.

Margaret has mentioned it while i was writing, hehe

1. 한국에”는” 컵 라면을 파는 자판기”는” 없어요
2. 한국에”는” 컵 라면을 파는 자판기”가” 없어요

Have I got the point, Margaret?
Then let me give you an answer.

2nd one is also right,
but the subject marking particle “는” has a nuance that emphasis.
“자판기는 없어요” means “(Only) vending machines are not exist (but the others are)”
As you see, it makes a subject word into a unique condition.

So hyunwoo said,
“한국에는 컵라면을 파는 자판기는 없어요”
and he means “There are no vending machines that sell cup noodles in Korea. (but maybe there are all other vending machines)”

Hope this helps

It was one of my favorite drinks to get in Bali. There are no 자판기 over there as far as I know, but luckily enough, the local warung (traditional convenience store/stand) was just across the street from where I stayed.

I know ‘파는 자판기는’:-)

but I’m talking about something else

“한국에는 컵 라면을 파는 자판기는 없어요.”

We have 3 –는.I’m talking about two of them:
한국에는 and 자판기는.
As far as I know in Korean sentence may exist only one
–는/-은.
So maybe 2 –는 = colloquial language, but I’m not sure

Is “twice” = 두번 and “the second one”= 두번째?

Austin:-)
I’d like to write in English too, but it’s not my native language so I don’t want to mislead others. I just think in Polish, translate into Korean, without English. It’s easier for me to understand.
그럼, 폴란드말로 설명해 좀 드릴까요?

Austin, 한국어를 꼭 keep learning:-)

i actually love that drink. haha.

I realized later that she specifically addressed the question to you… whoops! didn’t mean steal your thunder!

yep 여기도 과자를 파는 자판기가 있어! ㅎ

keith,

we’ve got snacks, sandwich, drinks, ice cream, cup noodles, toys, tissue paper and toilet paper vending machines. the toilet paper one is really funny. it gives you ALOT of toilet paper for only 20 cents.

i think it would be a great idea to put a vending machines at home. so when people come i’ll ask them to go get their own drinks .. from the machine. i think no one will come find me anymore. haha.
