| INTRODUCTION |
| Dana: Hi, everyone. I'm Dana. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |
| Dana: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 27 - Describing Excess with Quantifiers. |
| Dana: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for describing excess. |
| PATTERN |
| Dana: For example... |
| Dana: "There is too much garbage on the street." |
| Jaehwi: 거리에 쓰레기가 너무 많아요. (georie sseuregiga neomu mannayo.) |
| Jaehwi: [slow] 거리에 쓰레기가 너무 많아요. (georie sseuregiga neomu mannayo.) |
| Dana: The pattern for describing excess has 4 elements. First, the noun. In this case, it’s "street," plus the adverb particle… |
| Jaehwi: 에 (e). |
| Jaehwi: 거리에 (georie). |
| Dana: Second, the noun “trash”. |
| Jaehwi: 쓰레기 (sseuregi). |
| Dana: Third, the adverb “too”. |
| Jaehwi: 너무 (neomu). |
| Dana: And last, the infinitive “a lot/much,” plus polite suffix… |
| Jaehwi: 요 (yo). |
| Jaehwi: 많아요. (mannayo). |
| Dana: All together, we have "There is too much garbage on the street." |
| Jaehwi: 거리에 쓰레기가 너무 많아요. (georie sseuregiga neomu mannayo.) [slow] 거리에 쓰레기가 너무 많아요. (georie sseuregiga neomu mannayo.) [normal] 거리에 쓰레기가 너무 많아요. (georie sseuregiga neomu mannayo.) |
| Dana: If you just want to say that you think there is a slight excess, you could omit… |
| Jaehwi: 너무 (neomu) |
| Dana: and just write… |
| Jaehwi: 많아요 (mannayo). |
| Jaehwi: 거리에 쓰레기가 너무 많아요. (georie sseuregiga neomu mannayo.) |
| Dana: So remember, use this phrase when you want to describe excess by adding… |
| Jaehwi: 이/가 너무 많다 (i/ga neomu mantta). |
| Dana: Here’s another example meaning "I have too much homework." First, the noun, "homework." |
| Jaehwi: 숙제 (sukje). |
| Dana: Second, the subject marking particle... |
| Jaehwi: 가 (ga). |
| Dana: Third, the adverb (too). |
| Jaehwi: 너무 (neomu). |
| Dana: And last, infinitive (a lot/much) plus polite suffix… |
| Jaehwi: 요 (yo). |
| Jaehwi: 많아요. (mannayo). |
| Dana: All together, we have... |
| Jaehwi: 숙제가 너무 많아요. (sukjega neomu mannayo.) [slow] |
| 숙제가 너무 많아요. (sukjega neomu mannayo.) [normal] |
| 숙제가 너무 많아요. (sukjega neomu mannayo.) |
| Dana: "I have too much homework." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 숙제가 너무 많아요. (sukjega neomu mannayo.) |
| Dana: How do you say "There is too much rice"? To give you a hint, "rice" is... |
| Jaehwi: 밥 (bap). [slow] 밥 (bap). [normal] 밥 (bap). |
| Dana: "There is too much rice." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 밥이 너무 많아요. (babi neomu mannayo) [slow] |
| 밥이 너무 많아요. (babi neomu mannayo) [normal] |
| 밥이 너무 많아요. (babi neomu mannayo) |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 밥이 너무 많아요. (babi neomu mannayo) |
