1	Do You Know How to Get the Answers You Need in Korean?	how to use one of the most common sentence endings in Korean -n/eundeyo.	손님: 저기… 가위하고 풀이 필요한데요. 문구점 주인: 저쪽에 있어요. 손님: 이쪽이요? 안 보이는데요? 문구점 주인: 공책 보이세요? 공책 옆에 있어요. 손님: 공책 옆에… 없는데요? 문구점 주인: 음… 거기 있는데… 손님: 아, 여기! 찾았어요. 문구점 주인: 찾았어요? 손님: 네. 얼마예요? 가격표가 없는데요?	Customer: Excuse me…I need a pair of scissors and a glue stick. Store Owner: It's over there. Customer: Over here? Well, I don't see it. Store Owner: Do you see some notebooks? They are next to the notebooks. Customer: Next to the notebooks…well, they are not here. Store Owner: Hmm…they ARE there… Customer: Oh, here! I found them. Store Owner: You found them? Customer: Yes. How much are they? They don't have price tags on them.	저기 there, over there 찾다 to find 여기 here, this place 거기 there 없다 to not have, to not exist 옆 side, next to 공책 notebook 보이다 to be seen 주인 owner 문구점 stationery store 이쪽 this way 저쪽 that way, over there 필요하다 to need, to be necessary 풀 glue 가위 scissors 가격표 price tag	1. but, they don't have price tags on them. 가격표가 없는데요?	Sentence Ending Particle: Verb Stem + -ㄴ/는데 (-n/neunde) "but, however" -By using this sentence ending, you imply that you are waiting for a response from the person that you are talking to. This originally comes from the combination of [ VERB + 그런데 (geureonde) ]. 그런데 (geureonde) means "but," "however," and when combined with the verb of the previous sentence, it becomes the verb ending -ㄴ/는데 (-n/neunde) and you can add or not add 요 (yo) depending on the level of politeness of the sentence.
2	Ask Questions in Korean in a Way No One Can Resist!	how to use one of the most common sentence endings when asking a question in Korean, -nayo?	민수: 아줌마, 이 김치 맛있나요? 아줌마: 그럼요. 어제 만들어서 진짜 맛있어요. 민수: 이 김치 전부 살 수 있나요? 아줌마: 그럼요. 전부 살 수 있어요. 이 깍두기도 맛있는데. 먹어봐요. 민수: 아, 그래요? 우와, 진짜 맛있어요. 이것도 전부 살 수 있나요? 아줌마: 그럼요. 다 줄까요? 민수: 음… 여기 몇 시까지 하나요? 아줌마: 여기요? 9시까지요. 민수: 그럼, 8시에 다시 올게요! 아줌마: 그래요. 잘 가요.	Minsu: Ma'am, is this kimchi good? Woman: Sure. We made it yesterday. So it's really delicious. Minsu: Can I buy all of this kimchi? Woman: Of course, you can buy all of it. This radish kimchi is good, too. Try some. Minsu: Oh, really? Wow. It's really good. Can I buy all of this, too? Woman: Sure. You want all of it? Minsu: Hmm…when is this shop open 'til? Woman: Here? We're open 'til nine o'clock. Minsu: Then, I'll come back at eight o'clock. Woman: Okay, bye.	아줌마 Ma'am (a title for middle-aged women) 까지 until 주다 to give 다 all, everything 사다 to buy 깍두기 sliced white-radish kimchi 전부 all, whole 맛있다 to be delicious, tasty 김치 Kimchi 다시 again, once again	1. Ma'am, is this kimchi good? 아줌마, 이 김치 맛있나요?	Sentence Ending Particle: Verb Stem + -아/어/여(요)? (-a/eo/yeo(yo)?) " I wonder" -When asking a question in Korean, the most basic way to ask something is adding -아/어/여(요)? (-a/eo/yeo(yo)?) at the end of the verb stem. While this is a very commonly used sentence ending, people like to use a more indirect way to ask question. One of the ways to do this is to use the sentence ending -나요? (-nayo?), which has the nuance of asking oneself at the same time. So this ending, -나요? (-nayo?) is similar to saying "I wonder…" in English.
3	Making Plans in Korea Is Very Difficult if You Don't Ask the Right Questions!	a common sentence ending for questions in Korean, -(eu)ngayo.	레스토랑 직원: KC 레스토랑입니다. 지수: 여보세요. 오늘 저녁 식사 예약 하고 싶어요. 레스토랑 직원: 네. 몇 분이신가요? 지수: 4명이요. 레스토랑 직원: 창가 쪽 테이블 괜찮으신가요? 지수: 네. 좋아요. 레스토랑 직원: 오늘 저녁 몇 시에 오실 건가요? 지수: 음… 문 닫는 시간이 몇 시인가요? 레스토랑 직원: 11시요. 지수: 그래요? 그럼… 9시에 갈게요. 레스토랑 직원: 네, 감사합니다.	Restaurant Employee: Thanks for calling KC Restaurant. Jisu: Hello. I'd like to make a reservation for dinner tonight. Restaurant Employee: Okay, how many are you? Jisu: Four. Restaurant Employee: Is a table near the window okay? Jisu: Okay. Good. Restaurant Employee: What time this evening are you going to come? Jisu: Um…what is the time that you close? Restaurant Employee: Eleven o'clock. Jisu: Is it? Then…we will go at nine o'clock. Restaurant Employee: Thank you very much.	레스토랑 restaurant 닫다 to close, to shut 괜찮다 to be okay, to be all right 테이블 table 쪽 side, way 창가 by the window 분 counter for people (honorific) 예약 reservation 식사 meal 저녁 evening, dinner 오늘 today 여보세요 Hello? (used on the phone) 시간 time	1. Is a table near the window okay? 창가 쪽 테이블 괜찮으신가요?	Sentence Ending Particle: Verb Stem + -(으)ㄴ가(요)? " I wonder" -This sentence ending for questions, -(으)ㄴ가(요)? (-(eu)nga(yo)?) has the same purpose as the ending -나(요)? (-na(yo)?), but we use this one with the verb 이다 (ida - "to be"), and descriptive verbs, which are like adjectives but used like verbs in the Korean language. Like -나(요), the ending -(으)ㄴ가(요) is also a sentence ending that Korean people use to avoid asking a question too directly. This ending also has the nuance of asking oneself at the same time as asking the other person, and it is similar to saying "I wonder…" in English. By using -나(요) or -(ㅇ)ㄴ가(요), people hope to be less direct and accusing when asking a question, because one gets the feeling that the asking nuance is weakened by being divided into two directions - half toward the other person and half toward oneself.
4	Check Out the Reactions You Can Get in Korea with This!	how to use -ne- the suffix that is used very commonly in Korean to show or ask for agreement.	A: 어, 안녕하세요. 여기서 자주 만나네요. B: 아, 네. 안녕하세요. 오늘 날씨 좋네요. A: 네, 오늘은 정말 서늘하네요. B: 원래 등산 자주 하세요? A: 네. 일주일에 한 번 와요. B: 자주 오시네요. A: 네. 평일에도 오세요? B: 네. 사실… 저는 산에서 살아요. A: 네?	A: Oh, hi. I see you here often. B: Oh, yes. Hi. The weather is good today. A: Yes. It's very cool today. B: Do you usually come hiking in the mountain often? A: Yeah. I come here once a week. B: You come here often. A: Yes. Do you come here during the week too? B: Yes. In fact…I live in the mountain. A: What?	여기 here, this place 산 mountain 평일 weekday, during the week 등산 mountain hiking 원래 usually, originally 서늘하다 to be cool 날씨 weather 만나다 to meet 자주 frequently, often 살다 to live	1. The weather is good today. 오늘 날씨 좋네요.	Particle: Verb Stem + -네(ne) + Verb Stem "desirably agreement" -Basically, when you say a sentence, the sentence itself does not have any implication or nuance that you want some agreement or reaction from the person you are talking to. But by using the suffix -네- (-ne-) in the sentence, you can add some nuance to the sentence that you want some sort of reaction (desirably agreement) from the other person.
5	The More You Study This Korean Lesson, the More You Will Love it!	how to say 'the more A the more B' in Korean.	A: 뭐 해? 또 이 책 읽어? B: 왜? 이 책 진짜 재밌어. A: 지금 몇 번째 읽고 있어? B: 하하. 열 번째. 읽으면 읽을 수록 재밌어. A: 이해할 수 없어… 정말. B: 너는 그거 뭐야? A: 아, 이거? 수학책이야. B: 수학책을 왜 갖고다녀? A: 나는 수학 공부가 세상에서 제일 좋아. 공부하면 공부할수록 수학은 정말 매력적이야. B: 너는 보면 볼수록… A: 보면 볼수록 뭐! B: 아니야. 너는 보면 볼수록 똑똑해! A: 거짓말 하지 마!	A: What are you doing? You're reading this book again? B: Why? This book is really interesting. A: How many times have you read this book so far? B: Haha. This is the tenth time. The more I read it, the more interesting it is. A: I really can't understand you. B: What about you? What's that? A: Oh, this? It's my mathematics book. B: Why are you carrying your mathematics book around? A: I like studying mathematics more than anything in the world. The more I study it, the more attractive it is. B: The more I see you, the more… A: The more what! B: Nothing. The more I see you, the more I think you are intelligent. A: Don't lie!	책 book 똑똑하다 to be smart, to be intelligent 매력적이다 to be attractive, to be charming 세상 world, universe 갖고다니다 to carry around 수학 mathematics 이해하다 to understand 재미있다 to be fun, to be interesting 진짜 really 읽다 to read 거짓말 lie	1. The more I read it, the more interesting it gets. 읽으면 읽을수록 재미있어요.	Particle: Verb Stem +을수록 "the more A" -When you want to say "the more A, the more B" in Korean, you can use the structure -(으)면 -(으)ㄹ수록 (-(eu)myeon -(eu)lsurok). For the part "the more A," in Korean, you repeat the same verb in the structure -(으)면 -(으)ㄹ수록, as in the example below.
6	Hold Onto Your Hats! This Korean Lesson is Chock-FULL of Surprises!	how to show disbelief or surprise as a reaction to someone's statement.	민수: 나 오늘 KC 기획사에 지원했어. 민지: 뭐? 기획사? 아르바이트야? 민수: 아니야. 난 가수가 될 거야. 민지: 가수가 된다고? 민수: 그래! 가수가 될 거야! 민지: 그래서 진짜로 지원했다고? 민수: 그래! 난 유명해질 거야. 민지: 니가 가수를 한다고? 하하하. 말도 안 돼. 민수: 말도 안 된다고? 왜? 민지: 너 노래 못 하잖아! 민수: 괜찮아. 나는 춤을 잘 추잖아. 민지: 뭐? 춤 잘 추니까 가수를 한다고? 아이고… 걱정된다. 민수: 걱정된다고? 걱정하지 마. 나는 분명히 유명해질 거야. 민지: 그래… 그랬으면 좋겠다.	Minsu: I applied for KC Agency today. Minji: What? An agency? Is it a part-time job? Minsu: No, I'm going to be a singer. Minji: You're going to be a singer? Minsu: Yeah! I'm going to be a singer? Minji: So you really applied? Minsu: Yeah! I'm going to become famous! Minji: You're going to be a singer? Haha. That's absurd. Minsu: Absurd? Why? Minji: You can't sing! Minsu: It's okay. I dance well. Minji: What? You're going to become a singer because you dance well? Whew…I'm worried. Minsu: You're worried? Don't worry. I'm surely going to become famous! Minji: Yeah…I hope so.	오늘 today 걱정하다 to worry 걱정되다 to be worried 춤 dance 춤을 추다 to dance 말도 안 되다 to be absurd, to make no sense 유명해지다 to become famous 진짜로 for real, really 되다 to become 가수 singer 지원하다 to apply 기획사 agency (for models, singers, actors) 분명히 clearly	1. You're going to become a singer?. 니가 가수를 한다고?	Sentence Ending Particle: Verb Stem +-ㄴ/는다고(요)? (-n/neundago(yo)?) "did you say" -When someone tells you something surprising, something that you did not previously know, or something that you cannot believe, you can show your reaction by using this sentence ending, -ㄴ/는다고(요)? (-n/neundago(yo)?) or -았/었/였다고(요)? (-at/eot/yeotdago(yo)?). This sentence ending is basically a way to quote the other person, so it has the nuance of saying "Did you say…?" or "So, what you said was…" You can add 요 (yo) at the end if you want to be polite. And when it is a reaction to something that the other person did not say directly but that you heard from someone else, we can translate -ㄴ/는다고(요)? or -았/었/였다고(요)? as "I've heard that… Is that true?"
7	You Mean…Learning Korean Can Be This Much Fun Every Day?!	how to express surprise or disbelief.	민수: 민지야! 전화가 왔어!! 민지: 뭐? 전화가 왔다고? 기획사에서? 민수: 그래! 나 다음 달부터 가수 할 거야. 민지: 뭐라고? 다음 달부터 가수 할 거라고? 민수: 그래! 텔레비전에 나올 거야! 민지: 텔레비전에도 나올 거라고? 민수: 당연하지! 민지: 근데 니가 왜 뽑혔어? 민수: 춤을 잘 추니까! 민지: 정말 춤을 잘 춰서 뽑혔다고? 민수: 그래! 이제부터 노래를 배울 거야. 민지: 에휴… 잘 됐으면 좋겠다…	Minsu: Minji! I got a phone call! Minji: What? You got a phone call? From the agency? Minsu: Yeah! I'm going to become a singer from next month. Minji: What? You're going to be a singer from next month? Minsu: Yeah! I'm going to be on TV! Minji: You're going to be on TV? Minsu: Of course! Minji: But why were you chosen? Minsu: Because I dance well! Minji: You were really chosen because you can dance well? Minsu: Yeah! I'm going to learn to sing from now on. Minji: Whew…I hope it will go well.	전화 telephone 배우다 to learn 노래 song 춤을 추다 to dance 춤 dance 뽑히다 to be chosen, to be selected 근데 but, by the way 당연하다 to be a matter of course, to be expected 텔레비전에 나오다 to appear on TV 텔레비전 television 가수 singer 다음 달 next month 기획사 agency (for models, singers, actors) 전화가 오다 to receive a phone call, to get a phone call from someone 잘 되다 to go well, to go smoothly	1. You are going to be on TV?. 텔레비전에도 나올 거라고?	Sentence Ending Particle: Verb Stem +–라고(요)? (-rago(yo)?) "so you mean.." -When someone tells you something and you want to show a reaction of disbelief or surprise, for the present tense and the past tense, you can use the ending -다고(요)? (-dago(yo)?). But for the future tense, you use the ending -라고(요)? (-rago(yo)?) This is because the future tense in Korean ends in -ㄹ/을 것이다 (-l/eul geos-ida). -ㄹ/을 것이다 + 라고(요) becomes -것이라고(요)? (-geos-irago(yo)?), but we shorten it to -거라고(요)? (-geo-rago(yo)?) to make it easier and simpler to pronounce. You can add 요 (yo) at the end to make it sound more polite and leave it out in intimate language.
8	You Have Limitless Possibilities When You Learn to Speak Korean!	how to talk about possibility and say that you might do something.	경수: 지은아, 졸업하고, 뭐 할 거야? 지은: 나? 졸업하고? 나는 대학원 갈지도 몰라. 경수: 그래? 대학원? 뭐 공부할 거야? 지은: 아직 몰라… 그냥 취직할지도 몰라. 왜? 너는? 경수: 나는 유학갈지도 몰라. 지은: 진짜? 어디로? 경수: 독일로. 지은: 몇 년 있을 거야? 경수: 아마… 3년. 어쩌면 4년 있을지도 몰라. 지은: 정말…? 안 가면 안 돼? 경수: 왜? 지은: 니가 독일에 가면… 나도 따라갈지도 몰라.	Gyeongsu: Jieun, what are you going to do after you graduate? Jieun: Me? After graduating? I might go to graduate school. Gyeongsu: Really? Graduate school? What are you going to study? Jieun: I don't know yet…I might just get a job. Why? What about you? Gyeongsu: I might go study abroad. Jieun: Really? Where? Gyeongsu: To Germany. Jieun: For how many years are you going to be there? Gyeongsu: Probably…three years. I might stay there for four years. Jieun: Really…? Can't you not go? Gyeongsu: Why? Jieun: If you go to Germany…I might follow you.	졸업하다 to graduate 정말 really, for real 아마 perhaps, maybe 독일 Germany 유학가다 to study abroad 취직하다 to get a job 아직 not yet, still 공부하다 to study 가다 to go, to go to (school), to enter (a school) 대학원 graduate school 따라가다 to follow	1.I might go to graduate school. 대학원 갈지도 몰라.	Sentence Ending Particle: Verb Stem + -(으)ㄹ지도 모르다 (-(eu)ljido moreuda) "I don't know but it will happen" -When you are talking about something that you might do in the future, you can use the structure -(으)ㄹ지도 모르다 (-(eu)ljido moreuda). This structure literally means "It will happen, also, I don't know" or "I don't know whether it will also happen that…." Although the literal translation has the word 모르다 (moreuda) in it, which means "to not know," what the sentence really means is "it is out of my knowledge whether it will happen or not." When we use it in a sentence, it means "it could happen" or "there is a possibility that it might happen."
9	There might be a meeting.	how to say that you might do something or there is a possibility that something might happen.	부장: 미선 씨. 자리에 있어요? 미선: 네, 부장님. 부장: 오늘 사장님하고 회의가 있을 수도 있어요. 미선: 아, 기획 회의인가요? 그러면 회의 준비하겠습니다. 부장: 그런데 오늘은 기획 회의가 아닐 수도 있어요. 미선: 아, 그래요? 그러면 무슨 회의인가요? 부장: 오늘 사장님이… 미선 씨한테 해외 근무를 제안하실 수도 있어요. 미선: 해외 근무요? 부장: 네. 좋은 기회인데, 2년이나 3년 있어야 될 수도 있어요. 미선: 어디로 가는 거예요? 부장: 일본이요. 미선: 저는 일본어를 못 해서… 부장: 미선 씨가 안 가면, 내가 갈 수도 있어요. 그러니까 미선 씨가…	Manager: Miseon, are you there? Miseon: Yes, sir. Manager: Today, we might have a meeting with the president. Miseon: Oh, is it a planning meeting? Then I will prepare for the meeting. Manager: But today it might not be a planning meeting. Miseon: Oh really? Then what kind of meeting is it? Manager: Today the president might…suggest that you work abroad. Miseon: Work abroad? Manager: Yeah. It's a good opportunity, but you might have to stay there for two or three years. Miseon: Where am I going? Manager: Japan. Miseon: But since I don't speak Japanese… Manager: If you don't go, Miseon, I might go…so I hope you will…	일본어 Japanese language 일본 Japan 기회 opportunity, chance 제안하다 to propose, to suggest 근무 duty, work 해외 overseas 무슨 what, which, what kind of 준비하다 to prepare 기획 planning, plan, project 회의 meeting, conference 사장님 president, boss, CEO 부장님 department manager (title) 그러니까 And therefore…	1.There might be a meeting. 회의가 있을 수도 있어요.	Sentence Ending Particle: Verb Stem + -ㄹ/을 수도 있다 (-l/eul su-do itda) "It is also possible that" -When you want to say that you "might" do something or that there is a possibility that something "could" happen, you can use this sentence ending, -ㄹ/을 수도 있다 (-l/eul su-do itda). This is basically a form where we add 도 (do), which means "also," to -ㄹ/을 수 있다 (-l/eul su itda), which means "to be able to" or "can." Together, -ㄹ/을 수도 있다 (-l/eul su-do itda) literally means "it is also possible that…" or "also, it could happen that…," and we can more naturally translate it into English as "could" or "might."
10	If Only the Price Were Right in Korea!	how to say 'only' or 'nothing but' using 'bakk-e'	가게 직원: 찾는 거 있으세요? 손님: 음… 노트북 사고 싶은데요… 가게 직원: 어떤 거 찾으세요? 손님: 제가 돈이… 70만원 밖에 없어요. 가게 직원: 70만원이요? 음… 그러시면, 이 모델 밖에 없어요. 손님: 이거요? 이것 밖에 없어요? 가게 직원: 네. 80만원 있으면 이거 살 수 있어요. 손님: 음… 최대한 모으면, 75만원이에요. 부족하죠? 가게 직원: 75만으로 살 수 있는 노트북은 이것 밖에 없어요. 손님: 음… 이건… 너무 커요. 작은 거 없어요? 가게 직원: 네… 이 가격으로는… 큰 것 밖에 없어요. 손님: 아… 네… 그럼 5만원 더 모아서 올게요.	Store clerk: Can I help you? Customer: Um…I'd like to buy a laptop… Store clerk: What kind of laptop are you looking for? Customer: I only have seven hundred thousand won. Store clerk: Seven hundred thousand won? Hmm…if that's the case, we only have this model here. Customer: This one? This is the only one? Store clerk: Yes. If you have eight hundred thousand won, you can buy this one. Customer: Hmm… If I save up as much money as possible, it's seven hundred and fifty thousand won. That's not enough, right? Store clerk: With seven hundred and fifty thousand won, you can only buy this one. Customer: Hmm…this is…too big. Don't you have a smaller one? Store clerk: We don't… For this price, we only have big ones. Customer: Oh…I see…then I'll come back after saving fifty thousand won more.	찾다 to search for, to look for 부족하다 to be lacking, to be insufficient 모으다 to gather, to save up (money) 최대한 to the maximum, most 모델 model 그러시면 if that's the case, in that case 돈 money 어떤 what kind of 노트북 laptop computer 사다 to buy 가격 price	1.We only have this model here. 이 모델 밖에 없어요.	Particle: Noun+밖에(bakke) "only/just" -When you want to say "only" or "just" in Korean, the simplest way to say it is to use the word 만 (man). But oftentimes, using 만 (man) is not strong enough, so the expression we use more commonly in order to really emphasize the meaning of "only" is 밖에 (bakke). We always use 밖에 (bakke) with a negative verb, because 밖에 (bakke) literally means "outside" or "out of," and by using a negative verb with 밖에 (bakke), the entire sentence emphasizes the meaning of "only."
11	He Said He Would Come Late.	how to deliver what someone else said, using '-n/neundago haesseo'.	준용: 어. 민서야! 민서: 어. 준용아. 왔어? 준용: 응. 다른 애들은? 보경이랑 경훈이는? 아직 안 왔어? 민서: 응. 둘 다 조금 늦는다고 했어. 준용: 그래? 아, 근데 오늘 비 온다고 했어. 민서: 진짜… 아… 비 안 왔으면 좋겠다. 우리 이렇게 같이 놀러가는 거 오랜만이잖아. 준용: 맞아. 괜찮아. 일기예보가 틀릴 수도 있잖아. 민서: 응. 아, 근데 카메라 가져왔어? 준용: 보경이가 가져온다고 했어. 민서: 그래? 기차표는? 준용: 기차표는 경훈이가 산다고 했어. 민서: 아 근데 왜 안 와…	Junyong: Oh, Minseo!

Sentence Ending Particle: -(ㄴ/는)다고 하다 (-(n/neun)dago hada) "said" -When you are talking to someone about what another person said before, or reporting what you heard to someone else, you can use this grammatical structure, -(ㄴ/는)다고 하다 (-(n/neun)dago hada). -(ㄴ/는)다고 하다 is originally -(ㄴ/는)다고 말하다/이야기하다, but we shorten the part 말하다 (malhada) or 이야기하다 (iyagihada) to 하다 (hada). The verb stems of action verbs (e.g., 하다, 먹다) are followed by -ㄴ/는다고 하다 (-n/neundago hada), and the verb stems of descriptive verbs (e.g., 예쁘다, 싸다) are followed by -다고 하다 (-dago hada).
12	When You Consider the Price, Don't You Want to Shop in Korea?	how to say 'compared to something' or 'when you consider '	가게 직원: 어서오세요. 다시 오셨네요? 손님: 예… 지난 번에 5만원 부족하다고 해서, 5만원 모아서 다시 왔어요. 가게 직원: 하하. 네. 그럼 지난 번에 본 그 모델 사실 거예요? 손님: 네. 80만원 짜리요. 가게 직원: 잘 생각하셨어요. 가격에 비해서 성능이 정말 좋아요. 손님: 네. 그런데, 크기에 비해서 조금 무거운 것 같아요. 가게 직원: 아니에요. 다른 노트북에 비하면 가벼워요. 손님: 그래요? 저는 무거운 것 같은데… 가게 직원: 그러면 이 모델은 어때요? 이 모델은 크기도 작고 무게도 가벼워요. 크기에 비해서 성능도 정말 좋고요. 손님: 이 모델은 얼마예요? 가게 직원: 90만원이요. 손님: 지금 85만원 밖에 없어요. 가게 직원: 5만원만 더 모으세요. 손님: 네?	Store clerk: Good afternoon. You're back! Customer: Yeah…you said that I was lacking fifty thousand won, so I saved up fifty thousand won more and came back. Store clerk: Haha. Okay. Then are you going to buy the same model as the one you saw last time? Customer: Yeah. The one that costs eight hundred thousand won. Store clerk: That's a good decision. It has really high performance when you consider the price. Customer: Yeah. But, I think it's a little heavy compared to its size. Store clerk: No, it's light compared to other laptops. Customer: Really? I think it's heavy… Store clerk: Then how about this model? This model is small in size and it's light. Considering its small size, the performance is very good too. Customer: How much is this one? Store clerk: Nine hundred thousand won. Customer: I only have eight hundred and fifty thousand won now. Store clerk: Save up just fifty thousand won more. Customer: What?	지난 번 last time 가볍다 to be light 무겁다 to be heavy 크기 size 성능 performance, capability 가격 price 짜리 particle for worth (money, age, amount) 다시 again, once again 모으다 to gather, to save up (money) 부족하다 to be lacking, to be insufficient 무게 weight	1.It's light compared to other laptops. 다른 노트북에 비하면 가벼워요.	Adverb: Noun+에 비하면(-e bihamyeon) "comparing to something" -You can use the structure -에 비하면 (-e bihamyeon) or -에 비해서 (-e bihaeseo) when you want to talk about something in comparison to something else, or when you want the person you are speaking with to take a certain factor into consideration before reaching a conclusion. For example, when something is expensive, if you want to say that it is not so expensive when you consider the high quality of the product, you can use this structure.

Mihyeon: Then what should I do? Jeongsu: Just…don't come. Mihyeon: What? Jeongsu: Because…even if you were to come now, it would be late. Mihyeon: So you're going to watch the performance alone?

Conjunction: Verb Stem+ -다고 해도 (-dago haedo) "even if something happens" -When you want to say "even if you do something" or "even if something happens," you can use this structure, -다고 해도 (-dago haedo). The part -도 (-do) at the end of a verb stem has the meaning of "even if" on its own, but when combined with -다고 하다 (-dago hada), it amplifies the nuance of "even if." -다고 하다 (-dago hada) literally means "to say that…," so the entire structure, -다고 해도 (-dago haedo), means "even if you say…" or "even if they say…"

Pharase: Verb Stem+-는 중이다 (-neun jung-ida) "in the middle of doing something" -When you want to say that you are in the middle of doing something, you can use the structure -는 중이다 (-neun jung-ida). Another structure that you can use to say that you are doing something is -고 있다 (-go itda), but -는 중이다 (-neun jung-ida) gives off a stronger nuance that you are in the middle of doing something, since the word 중 (jung) means "center" or "middle."

Pharase: Verb Stem+-기 쉽다 (-gi swipda) "easy to do" -When you want to say that something is "easy to do" or "difficult to do" in Korean, you can use the structures -기 쉽다 (-gi swipda) and -기 어렵다 (-gi eoryeopda). The part -기 (-gi) is actually a verb ending that changes a verb into a noun. So -기+가 쉽다 (-gi-ga swipda) is like literally saying "VERB + -ing is easy," and the same goes for -기 어렵다 (-gi eoryeopda). But over the course of time, Koreans dropped the -가 or -는, and now it's very common to just say -기 쉽다 and -기 어렵다.

Pharase: Verb Stem+-(으)면 어떡해요? "What if" -When you are worried about something that might or might not happen and want to say "what if…?" you can use this structure, -(으)면 어떡해요? The part 어떡해요? means "what should I do?" or "what must we do?" 어떡해요? (eotteokhaeyo?) comes from 어떻게 해요? (eotteoke haeyo?). You can drop the 요 (yo) at the end to say this in intimate language. Please note that we never use it as -(으)면 어떻게요? as a lot of people make this mistake due to the similarity in pronunciation.

Pharase: Verb Stem+–(으)ㄹ까 하다 (-(eu)lkka hada) "I am thinking of doing something" -When you are thinking of doing something in the future but are not one hundred percent sure, you can use the structure -(으)ㄹ까 하다 (-(eu)lkka hada). Basically, the part -(으)ㄹ까 expresses a question or an assumption. When we combine that part with the verb 하다 (hada), the entire structure takes the meaning of "I am thinking of doing something" or "I am still thinking, but I might do it."

Sentence Ending Particle: -(으)려면 (-(eu)ryeomyeon) "if you are going to" - -(으)려면 (-(eu)ryeomyeon) is a grammatical structure that you can use when you want to say "in order to" do something, "if you want to" do something," or "if you are going to" do something. We can break down this structure into two parts. The part -(으)려 expresses intention or plan and -면 expresses a condition, so together, -(으)려면 means "if you are going to" or "if you want to." Therefore, we mostly use this structure along with expressions regarding plans or intentions.

Particle: 만에 (man-e) "for this much time" - When you are talking about something that you have not done for a while but you get to do again, you can use 만에 (man-e) to express how much time has passed since the last time.

In English, we usually express it in the form "I haven't done" something "for this much time," but in Korean, we usually express it in the form "after this much time, I am doing/I did" something.

Pharase: -아/어/여 보고 싶다 (-a/eo/yeo bogo sipda) "want do" - When you want to say that you want to try doing something in Korean, you can use the structure -아/어/여 보고 싶다 (-a/eo/yeo bogo sipda). This is a combination of -아/어/여 보다 and -고 싶다, and you can use this structure when you talk about something that you hope to do. But the reason that a lot of Korean people say -아/어/여 보고 싶다 instead of just -고 싶다 is because this is a less direct of way of saying that you "want to" do something.

Particle: -에다가 (-edaga) "at a certain place" - The most basic way of indicating a direction or a place in Korean is using the particle -에 (-e). But in everyday, real-life conversations, we not only use -에 (-e), but also -에다 (-eda) and -에다가 (-edaga) when talking about putting an item at a certain place or placing something at or on something else. Whereas the particle -에 is just as colloquial as -에다가 or -에다, -에다가 and -에다 sound more specifically related to places because we can use the particle -에in various other types of contexts too.

Phrase: Verb Stem+-아/어/여(서) 죽겠다 (-a/eo/yeo(seo) jukgetda) "to die / so much" - When you want to exaggerate a certain state, you can use the expression 죽겠다 (jukgetda). 죽겠다 (jukgetda) comes from 죽다 (jukda), meaning "to die." With the suffix -겠 (get), 죽겠다 (jukgetda) means "I think I'll die" or "I suppose I'll die." This expression is used to exaggerate a state, NOT because one really thinks that he or she will die because of it. Korean people tend to use this structure -아/어/여(서) 죽겠다 (-a/eo/yeo(seo) jukgetda) very often, and we can translate it as "so," "quite," or "very."
