어제 밤에 난 잤더니, 오늘 기분이 좋아요. Sometimes I’m cranky when I don’t get enough sleep.

근데 난 좀 칠문이 있어요.

~ㄹ/을지하고 ~ㄴ/은지 다음이 뭐예요? 이효리 “U-go-girl” 을 들을 때, ‘뭐? 실수이죠?’ 고 생학했은데, 내 친구들은 좋다고 했어요. 그러지만, 다름이 아직도 몰라요.

한 달도안 러면뱎에 안 먹으면 죽지 않알까요? 하긴…

라면을 먹었더니 죽었다…

thank you for conjugating the verbs in the discussion during the lesson! It is very helpful to hear the present, past & future tenses…

Oops thanks Daniel K ^^
I’ll have to listen to it again
That’s what happens when you do many things at the same time such as listening to kclass101 podcast, eating , surfing other web pages, etc…. ㅋㅋㅋ
앞으로는 korean podcast + eating만 and nothing more ㅋㅋㅋ

이효리의 “U-go-girl”에서 you hear a lot of -을지, -은지, right?

“-지” is often translated into English as “whether or not” and -을지 is about the future and -ㄴ/는지 about the present, and -았/었/였는지 is about the past You can learn more about the -ㄴ/는지 conjugation if you listen to the Intermediate Lesson #11.

What 이효리 says in the lyrics -

오늘은 또 어떤 옷을 입어야할지
머리는 또 어떻게 만져야 좋을지
이건 어떠니 또 저건 어떠니
고민 고민 하지마 Girl~

=
what kind of clothes you’ll have to wear today,
what kind of hairstyle you’ll have to do today,
how about this, how about that,
don’t worry about those things, (Girl)

So you can see that -지 is for expressing “how something is/will be/was” or “whether or not something is/will be/was in a state” or “what is/will be/was” and etc : )

I hope this helps!!

Great lesson again. I was able to use this construction the vey next day when talking to a Korean fried, so good result there.

I have a question though. The construction relates to the past (”because it was … then”). Is there a similar construstion for the future (”because it will … then”) or do we have to use rul/ul kot inikka? (Apologies for no Hangul - my keyboard has no Hangul on it).
