| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Lyn: And I'm Lyn. |
| Eric: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 2 – There is, There are |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for stating that something exists in a location. |
| PATTERN |
| Eric: For example, |
| Eric: "There is a cell phone over there." |
| Lyn: 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.) |
| Lyn: [slow] 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.) |
| Eric: The pattern for stating that something exists in a location has 4 elements. First, a pronoun, "over there." |
| Lyn: 저기 (jeogi). |
| Eric: Second, a noun, "cell phone." |
| Lyn: 핸드폰 (haendeupon). |
| Eric: Third, a subject marking particle. |
| Lyn: 이 (i). |
| Eric: And last, a verb "to be, there is." |
| Lyn: 있어요 (isseoyo). |
| Eric: Altogether, we have... "There is a cell phone over there." |
| Lyn: 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.) [slow] 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.) [normal] 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.) |
| Eric: When you want to say something exists, simply say a noun, a subject marking particle, then simply add… |
| Lyn: 있어요 (isseoyo). |
| Eric: By adding this, you can specify where something exists. In Korean, there are two subject marking particles. If the noun ends with a final consonant, you can use... |
| Lyn: 이 (i). |
| Eric: If it ends with a vowel, you can use... |
| Lyn: 가 (ga). |
| Eric: Then we have, |
| Lyn: 있어요 (isseoyo) |
| Eric: which means "there is" in the standard politeness. All together, |
| Lyn: 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.) |
| Eric: So remember to use the proper subject marking particle after the noun, plus |
| Lyn: 있어요 (isseoyo), |
| Eric: to state where something exists. |
| Eric: Here is another example meaning, "There is a computer over there." First, a pronoun, "over there." |
| Lyn: 저기 (jeogi). |
| Eric: Second, a noun, "computer." |
| Lyn: 컴퓨터 (keompyuteo). |
| Eric: Third, a subject marking particle. |
| Lyn: 가 (ga). |
| Eric: And last, a verb "to be, there is." |
| Lyn: 있어요 (isseoyo). |
| Eric: Altogether we have.. |
| Lyn: 저기 컴퓨터가 있어요. (jeogi keompyuteoga isseoyo.) [slow] 저기 컴퓨터가 있어요. (jeogi keompyuteoga isseoyo.) [normal] 저기 컴퓨터가 있어요. (jeogi keompyuteoga isseoyo.) |
| Eric: "There is a computer over there." |
| [pause] |
| Lyn: 저기 컴퓨터가 있어요. (jeogi keompyuteoga isseoyo.) |
| Eric: How do you say - "There is a puppy over there"? To give you a hint, "puppy" in Korean is.. |
| Lyn: 강아지 (gangaji). [slow] 강아지 (gangaji). [normal] 강아지 (gangaji). |
| Eric: “There is a puppy over there.” |
| [pause] |
| Lyn: 저기 강아지가 있어요. (jeogi gangajiga isseoyo.) [slow] 저기 강아지가 있어요. (Jeogi gangajiga isseoyo.) [normal] 저기 강아지가 있어요. (Jeogi gangajiga isseoyo.) |
| [pause] |
| Lyn: 저기 강아지가 있어요. (jeogi gangajiga isseoyo.) |
