I'm Madison from KoreanClass101.com Thank you for the comment and your question. We're here to help you. It's very nice, John! but with a little thing to fix! TV in Korean is 티비 and 'since' in Korean is 왜냐하면. So 그녀는 잘리가 없어요. 왜냐하면 그녀가 좋아하는 티비 쇼가 하고 있다. When you would like to say TV show is on, Koreans express more like 'TV show is playing' so, you rather us 하고 있다 which is -ing verb. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know. Thank you, 감사합니다. Madison / KoreanClass101.com Hi John,

저도 아침에 그 소식을 듣고 많이 놀랐었어요. 애플 웹사이트를 보면서 많이 슬펐답니다.

아마도 많은 사람들이 ‘그럴리가 없어’라고 생각할거예요.

The verb stem in “그럴 리가” is “그렇다”, which means “to be so”

그렇다 conjugates a bit irregularly :)

그렇다
그런
그렇게
그럴
그러면
…

It's really great that you're trying to think "how should I say this in Korean?" - I think that's reallllllllllly important in learning a new language ^^! Your scenario is very good and almost perfect ! :) Let me add a few words and help make it more natural :) A: 어? 그걸 몰라? B: 내가 알 리가 있어? (아무도 말 안 해 줬는데!) or B: 내가 알 리가 없지! (아무도 말 안 해 줬으니까.)

In really casual conversations you can also say "나 일등 먹었어" to say "I won the first place" - then it would sound very strange in English if you translate that literally haha ("I ate the first place.") Daniel :)

I really love to learn these grammar patterns which are more commonly used in daily life. Some situation which I often encounter and think, "oh how should I say this in korean?" :smile: I'm wondering if I can use 리가 없다 in the following scenario: A: 어? 그걸 모라? B: 알 리가 있어? or B: 알 리가 없어!? In English: A: I thought you knew... / Oh you didn't know? B: How the xxxx would I know? or B: How is it possible that I knew?! Thank you. Hi, another great lesson.

It's interesting, how in almost every language the way you say "win a contest" and "win a prize" uses a slightly different grammatical structure. I'm thinking that in Hebrew, you say something like "I came into / merited into a prize," which when translated into English, of course, sounds very strange. :D And that was a really good question, Marcus. I hadn't even thought of it, but thanks for bringing it up! :) Thanks for the corrections, 현우.

(있을 수 없는데, 일어났어)" are very commonly used phrases for situations like the one you described :) Marcus :) Great question! 좋은 질문이에요!

What I am talking about is the english expression "I see it, but I don't beleive it..." For example a few weeks ago I was playing golf with friends, and one person in our group actually made a hole in one! (For those who don't play golf, that means he got the ball in the hole with only one swing of the club from the starting point.) In that situation could I say "그럴 리가 없어..." to mean "what I just witnessed could not have possibly happened..." ? Or is there another expression for that? could one say “그럴 리가 없다” even if he had witnessed the event he’s referring to?
