Lesson Transcript

Introduction
Becky: Going without. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to make essential negative statements in Korean.
Body
Becky: Here's the informal way to say 'I don't have a pen.' in Korean.
Kyejin: [Normal] 펜 없어요.(pen eopseoyo.)
Becky: First is a word meaning 'pen'
Kyejin: [Normal] 펜 [Slow] 펜 (pen)
Becky: Last is the word meaning 'don't have'
Kyejin: [Normal] 없어요 [Slow] 없어요(eopseoyo)
Becky: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'I don't have a pen.'
Kyejin: [Slow] 펜 없어요. [Normal] 펜 없어요.
Becky: Ok, now let's see the informal way to say 'I don't have time.'
Kyejin: [Normal] 시간 없어요.(sigan eopseoyo.)
Becky: First is a word meaning 'time'
Kyejin: [Normal] 시간 [Slow] 시간 (sigan)
Becky: Last is the word meaning 'don't have'
Kyejin: [Normal] 없어요 [Slow] 없어요(eopseoyo)
Becky: Listen again to the informal phrase meaning 'I don't have time.'
Kyejin: [Slow] 시간 없어요. [Normal] 시간 없어요.
Becky: Now let’s look at the informal way to say 'I don't know.'
Kyejin: [Normal] 모르겠어요.(moreugesseoyo.)
Becky: This expression has only one word, meaning 'I don't know'
Kyejin: [Normal] 모르겠어요 [Slow] 모르겠어요(moreugesseoyo)
Becky: Listen again to the informal expression meaning 'I don't know.'
Kyejin: [Slow] 모르겠어요. [Normal] 모르겠어요.
Becky: Finally is a formal way to say 'I am not sure.'
Kyejin: [Normal] 잘 모르겠습니다.(jal moreugetsseumnida.)
Becky: First is a word meaning 'well'
Kyejin: [Normal] 잘 [Slow] 잘 (jal)
Becky: Last is a word that can be used alone as an expression to say “I don’t know”.
Kyejin: [Normal] 모르겠습니다 [Slow] 모르겠습니다(moreugetsseumnida)
Becky: Listen again to the formal phrase meaning 'I am not sure.'
Kyejin: [Slow] 잘 모르겠습니다. [Normal] 잘 모르겠습니다.
Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Kyejin: 없어요(eopseoyo) can express that something does not exist or is not located somewhere, as in "there isn't” or “there aren't." So 시간 없어요(sigan eopseoyo.) could mean "I have no time" or "there is no time," depending on the context.
