| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Lyn: And I'm Lyn. |
| Eric: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 1. Talking About Your Profession |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for talking about your profession. |
| PATTERN |
| Eric: For example, |
| Eric: "I am a student." |
| Lyn: νμμ λλ€. (haksaengimnida.) |
| Lyn: [slow] νμμ λλ€. (haksaengimnida.) |
| Eric: The pattern for talking about your profession has 2 elements. First, a noun, "student." |
| Lyn: νμ (haksaeng). |
| Eric: Second, a postposition meaning βis, am, are.β |
| Lyn: μ λλ€ (imnida). |
| Eric: Altogether, we have.. "I am a student." |
| Lyn: νμμ λλ€. (haksaengimnida.) [slow] νμμ λλ€. (haksaengimnida.) [normal] νμμ λλ€. (haksaengimnida.) |
| Eric: You can omit the pronoun if it is obvious who you are referring to. When you use this phrase, donβt worry about verb conjugation. The postposition... |
| Lyn: μ λλ€ (imnida) |
| Eric: can be used with any subjects to mean either "I am," "He isβ, or βWe are.β |
| Lyn: νμμ λλ€. (haksaengimnida.) |
| Eric: So remember when you talk about your profession, simply say - the profession plus the postposition. |
| Lyn: μ λλ€ (imnida). |
| Eric: Here is another example meaning, "I am a lawyer." First, a noun, "lawyer." |
| Lyn: λ³νΈμ¬ (byeonhosa). |
| Eric: Second, a postposition meaning βis, am, are.β |
| Lyn: μ λλ€ (imnida). |
| Eric: Altogether we have.. |
| Lyn: λ³νΈμ¬μ λλ€. (byeonhosaimnida.) [slow] λ³νΈμ¬μ λλ€. (byeonhosaimnida.) [normal] λ³νΈμ¬μ λλ€. (byeonhosaimnida.) |
| Eric: "I am a lawyer." |
| [pause] |
| Lyn: λ³νΈμ¬μ λλ€. (byeonhosaimnida.) |
| Eric: How do you say "I am a teacher"? To give you a hint, "teacher" in Korean is.. |
| Lyn: μ μλ (seonsaengnim). [slow] μ μλ (seonsaengnim). [normal] μ μλ (seonsaengnim). |
| Eric: βI am a teacher.β |
| [pause] |
| Lyn: μ μλμ λλ€ (seonsaengnimimnida) [slow] μ μλμ λλ€ (seonsaengnimimnida) [normal] μ μλμ λλ€ (seonsaengnimimnida) |
| [pause] |
