Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric.
Lyn: And I'm Lyn.
Eric: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 12. Asking About Ownership.
Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for asking about ownership.
PATTERN
Eric: For example,
Eric: "Whose book is this?"
Lyn: 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?)
Lyn: [slow] 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?)
Eric: The pattern for asking about ownership has 4 elements. First, a pronoun, "this one."
Lyn: 이거 (igeo).
Eric: Second, a pronoun, "who."
Lyn: 누구 (nugu).
Eric: Third, a noun, "book."
Lyn: 책 (chaek).
Eric: And last, a copula.
Lyn: 이에요 (ieyo).
Eric: Altogether, we have.. "Whose book is this?"
Lyn: 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?) [slow] 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?) [normal] 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?)
Eric: To ask about ownership, you can use the pronoun…
Lyn: 누구 (nugu)
Eric: meaning “whose.” Then, simply identify the object and say the copula...
Lyn: 이에요 (ieyo).
Eric: If we want to specify what we are referring to, you can add a pronoun meaning "this one," "that one," or "that one over there" at the beginning of the sentence. Let’s hear the full sentence once again.
Lyn: 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?)
Eric: So remember that to ask about ownership, simply say the pronoun "whose", the noun, plus the copula...
Lyn: 이에요 (ieyo)
Eric: Here is another example meaning, "Whose cellphone is that over there?" First, a pronoun, "that one over there."
Lyn: 저거 (jeogeo).
Eric: Second, a pronoun, "who."
Lyn: 누구 (nugu).
Eric: Third, a noun, "cell phone."
Lyn: 핸드폰 (haendeupon).
Eric: And last, a copula.
Lyn: 이에요 (ieyo).
Eric: Altogether we have..
Lyn: 저거 누구 핸드폰이에요? (jeogeo nugu haendeuponieyo?) [slow] 저거 누구 핸드폰이에요? (jeogeo nugu haendeuponieyo?) [normal] 저거 누구 핸드폰이에요? (jeogeo nugu haendeuponieyo?)
Eric: "Whose cellphone is that over there?"
[pause]
Lyn: 저거 누구 핸드폰이에요? (jeogeo nugu haendeuponieyo?)
Eric: How do you say - "Whose glasses are those?" To give you a hint, "glasses" in Korean is..
Lyn: 안경 (angyeong). [slow] 안경 (angyeong). [normal] 안경 (angyeong).
Eric: “Whose glasses are those?”
[pause]
Lyn: 그거 누구 안경이에요? (geugeo nugu angyeongieyo?) [slow] 그거 누구 안경이에요? (geugeo nugu angyeongieyo?) [normal] 그거 누구 안경이에요? (geugeo nugu angyeongieyo?)
[pause]
Lyn: 그거 누구 안경이에요? (geugeo nugu angyeongieyo?)

Eric: "Whose book is this?"
[pause]
Lyn: 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?)
[pause]
Lyn: 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?)
Eric: "Whose cellphone is that over there?"
[pause]
Lyn: 저거 누구 핸드폰이에요? (jeogeo nugu haendeuponieyo?)
[pause]
Lyn: 저거 누구 핸드폰이에요? (jeogeo nugu haendeuponieyo?)
Eric: "Whose glasses are those?"
[pause]
Lyn: 그거 누구 안경이에요? (geugeo nugu angyeongieyo?)

Outro
Eric: Okay. That's all for this lesson. You learned a pattern for asking about ownership, as in..
Lyn: 이거 누구 책이에요? (igeo nugu chaegieyo?)
