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 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.)
REVIEW
Eric: Let's review the sentences from this lesson. I’ll give you the English equivalent of the phrase and you are responsible for shouting it out loud in Korean. Here we go.
Eric: "There is a cell phone over there."
[pause]
Lyn: 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.)
[pause]
Lyn: 저기 핸드폰이 있어요. (jeogi haendeuponi isseoyo.)
Eric: "There is a computer over there."
[pause]
Lyn: 저기 컴퓨터가 있어요. (jeogi keompyuteoga isseoyo.)
[pause]
Lyn: 저기 컴퓨터가 있어요. (jeogi keompyuteoga isseoyo.)
Eric: "There is a puppy over there."
[pause]
Lyn: 저기 강아지가 있어요. (jeogi gangajiga isseoyo.)
[pause]
Lyn: 저기 강아지가 있어요. (jeogi gangajiga isseoyo.)
