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 14. Asking About Manner.
Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for asking about manner.
PATTERN
Eric: For example,
Eric: "How did you find the restaurant?"
Lyn: 식당 어떻게 찾았어요? (sikdang eotteoke chajasseoyo?)
Lyn: [slow] 식당 어떻게 찾았어요? (sikdang eotteoke chajasseoyo?)
Eric: The pattern for asking about manner has 4 elements. First, the noun, "restaurant."
Lyn: 식당 (sikdang).
Eric: Second, the adverb, "how."
Lyn: 어떻게 (eotteoke ).
Eric: Third, the verb stem, "to find."
Lyn: 찾 (chat).
Eric: And last, the sentence ending, "did."
Lyn: 았어요 (asseoyo).
Eric: Altogether, we have... "How did you find the restaurant?"
Lyn: 식당 어떻게 찾았어요? (sikdang eotteoke chajasseoyo?) [slow] 식당 어떻게 찾았어요? (sikdang eotteoke chajasseoyo?) [normal] 식당 어떻게 찾았어요? (sikdang eotteoke chajasseoyo?)
Eric: Use the sentence pattern "how" plus a verb form to ask how someone did something. First, you need to turn the verb into the past tense. In the example, we used...
Lyn: 었어요 (eoseoyo).
Eric: Then, you can articulate the question by adding a noun as the object at the beginning. For example…
Lyn: 식당 (sikdang)
Eric: meaning “a restaurant.” All together, we have...
Lyn: 식당 어떻게 찾았어요? (sikdang eotteoke chajasseoyo?)
Eric: So remember that to ask how someone did something, simply say the adverb "how" plus the verb in the past tense.
Eric: Here is another example meaning, "How did you open the door?" First, the noun, "door."
Lyn: 문 (mun ).
Eric: Second, the adverb, "how."
Lyn: 어떻게 (eotteoke ).
Eric: Third, the verb stem, "to open."
Lyn: 열 (yeol ).
Eric: And last, the sentence ending, "did."
Lyn: 었어요 (eosseoyo).
Eric: Altogether we have...
Lyn: 문 어떻게 열었어요? (mun eotteoke yeoreosseoyo?) [slow] 문 어떻게 열었어요? (mun eotteoke yeoreosseoyo?) [normal] 문 어떻게 열었어요? (mun eotteoke yeoreosseoyo?)
Eric: "How did you open the door?"
[pause]
Lyn: 문 어떻게 열었어요? (mun eotteoke yeoreosseoyo?)
Eric: How do you say - "How did you go to the school?" To give you a hint, the verb-stem "to go" is...
Lyn: 가 (ga). [slow] 가 (ga). [normal] 가 (ga).
Eric: "How did you go to the school?"
[pause]
Lyn: 학교 어떻게 갔어요? (hakgyo eotteoke gasseoyo) [slow] 학교 어떻게 갔어요? (hakgyo eotteoke gasseoyo?) [normal] 학교 어떻게 갔어요? (hakgyo eotteoke gasseoyo?)
[pause]
Lyn: 학교 어떻게 갔어요? (hakgyo eotteoke gasseoyo?)
