Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Dana: Hi, everyone. I'm Dana.
Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi.
Dana: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 26 - Using the Expression "My favorite."
Dana: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for talking about what you like the most.
PATTERN
Dana: For example...
Dana: "My favorite color is blue."
Jaehwi: 파란색을 제일 좋아합니다. (paransegeul jeil joahamnida)
Jaehwi: [slow] 파란색을 제일 좋아합니다. (paransegeul jeil joahamnida)
Dana: The pattern for talking about what you like the most has 3 elements. First, the noun. In this case, it’s "blue."
Jaehwi: 파란색 (paransaek).
Dana: Second, the object marking particle.
Jaehwi: 을 (eul).
Dana: Third, the adverb plus verb stem plus postposition…
Jaehwi: ㅂ(b) + 니다 (nida).
Jaehwi: 제일 좋아합니다 (jeil joahamnida).
Dana: All together, we have "My favorite color is blue."
Jaehwi: 파란색을 제일 좋아합니다. (paransegeul jeil joahamnida) [slow] 파란색을 제일 좋아합니다. (paransegeul jeil joahamnida) [normal] 파란색을 제일 좋아합니다. (paransegeul jeil joahamnida)
Dana: If the word preceding this phrase ends with a vowel, you would use the particle…
Jaehwi: 를 (reul),
Dana: and if the word ends with a consonant, you use…
Jaehwi: 을 (eul).
Jaehwi: 파란색을 제일 좋아합니다. (paransegeul jeil joahamnida)
Dana: So remember, simply state what your favorite thing is, then add the phrase…
Jaehwi: 을/를 좋아합니다 (eul/reul jeil joahamnida).
Dana: Here’s another example meaning, "My favorite food is kimbap." First, say the noun, "kimbap."
Jaehwi: 김밥 (kimbap).
Dana: Second, use the object marking particle.
Jaehwi: 을 (eul).
Dana: Third, you add the adverb plus verb stem pluspostposition…
Jaehwi: ㅂ(b) + 니다 (nida).
Jaehwi: 제일 좋아합니다. (jeil joahamnida).
Dana: All together we have...
Jaehwi: 김밥을 제일 좋아합니다 (kimbabeul jeil joahamnida) [slow] 김밥을 제일 좋아합니다 (kimbabeul jeil joahamnida) [normal] 김밥을 제일 좋아합니다 (kimbabeul jeil joahamnida)
Dana: "My favorite food is kimbap."
[pause]
Jaehwi: 김밥을 제일 좋아합니다 (kimbabeul jeil joahamnida)
Dana: How do you say "My favorite thing to read is comics"? To give you a hint, "comics" is...
Jaehwi: 만화 (manhwa). [slow] 만화 (manhwa). [normal] 만화 (manhwa).
Dana: "My favorite thing to read is comics."
[pause]
Jaehwi: 만화를 제일 좋아합니다. (manhwareul jeil joahamnida) [slow] 만화를 제일 좋아합니다. (manhwareul jeil joahaeyo) [normal] 만화를 제일 좋아합니다. (manhwareul jeil joahamnida)
