| INTRODUCTION |
| Dana: Hi, everyone. I'm Dana. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |
| Dana: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 39. Explaining a Reason or Cause. |
| Dana: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for explaining the cause or reason for an action or condition. |
| PATTERN |
| Dana: For example, |
| Dana: "I'm tired because of work." |
| Jaehwi: ์ผ ๋๋ฌธ์ ํผ๊ณคํด์. (il ttaemune pigonhaeyo.) |
| Jaehwi: [slow] ์ผ ๋๋ฌธ์ ํผ๊ณคํด์. (il ttaemune pigonhaeyo.) |
| Dana: The pattern for explaining the cause or reason for an action or condition has 3 elements. First, โwork.โ |
| Jaehwi: ์ผ (il). |
| Dana: Second, โbecause of.โ |
| Jaehwi: ๋๋ฌธ์ (ttaemune). |
| Dana: Third, adjective, โtired,โ plus sentence ending... |
| Jaehwi: ์ (yo). |
| Jaehwi: ํผ๊ณคํด์. (pigonhaeyo). |
| Dana: All together, we have... "I'm tired because of work." |
| Jaehwi: ์ผ ๋๋ฌธ์ ํผ๊ณคํด์. (il ttaemune pigonhaeyo.) [slow] ์ผ ๋๋ฌธ์ ํผ๊ณคํด์. (il ttaemune pigonhaeyo.) [normal] ์ผ ๋๋ฌธ์ ํผ๊ณคํด์. (il ttaemune pigonhaeyo.) |
| Dana: The phraseโฆ |
| Jaehwi: A ๋๋ฌธ์ (ttaemune) B |
| Dana: is used to explain the cause or reason for an action. The cause (A), usually a noun, is followed byโฆ |
| Jaehwi: ๋๋ฌธ์ (ttaemune) |
| Dana: โbecause of,โ followed by the action (B), adjective plus polite suffixโฆ |
| Jaehwi: ์ (yo). |
| Dana: If you want to place an entire clause in front of |
| Jaehwi: ๋๋ฌธ์ (ttaemune), |
| Dana: you need to switch it into a noun, and you would add... |
| Jaehwi: ๊ธฐ(gi) |
| Dana: to the stem of the word precedingโฆ |
| Jaehwi: ๋๋ฌธ์ (ttaemune). ~๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ (gittaemune) |
| Jaehwi: ์ผ ๋๋ฌธ์ ํผ๊ณคํด์. (il ttaemune pigonhaeyo.) |
| Dana: So remember, |
| Jaehwi, ๋๋ฌธ์ (ttaemune) |
| Dana: is used to explain the reason for an action/condition. |
| Dana: Here is another example meaning, "I am busy because of my girlfriend." First, โgirlfriend.โ |
| Jaehwi: ์ฌ์์น๊ตฌ (yeojachingu). |
| Dana: Second, โbecause of.โ |
| Jaehwi: ๋๋ฌธ์ (ttaemune). |
| Dana: Third, adjective โbusy,โ plus sentence endingโฆ |
| Jaehwi: ์ (yo). |
| Jaehwi: ๋ฐ๋น ์. (bappayo). |
| Dana: All together we have... |
| Jaehwi: ์ฌ์์น๊ตฌ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ฐ๋น ์. (yeojachingu ttaemune bappayo) [slow] ์ฌ์์น๊ตฌ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ฐ๋น ์. (yeojachingu ttaemune bappayo) [normal] ์ฌ์์น๊ตฌ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ฐ๋น ์. (yeojachingu ttaemune bappayo) |
| Dana: "I am busy because of my girlfriend" |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: ์ฌ์์น๊ตฌ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ฐ๋น ์. (yeojachingu ttaemune bappayo) |
| Dana: How do you say - "I go to the hospital because of my sick baby." To give you a hint, "sick baby" is... |
| Jaehwi: ์ํ ์๊ธฐ (apeun agi). [slow] ์ํ ์๊ธฐ (apeun agi). [normal] ์ํ ์๊ธฐ (apeun agi). |
| Dana: "I go to the hospital because of my sick baby." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: ์ํ ์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์. (apeun agi ttaemune byeongwone gayo) [slow] ์ํ ์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์. (apeun agi ttaemune byeongwone gayo) [normal] ์ํ ์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์. (apeun agi ttaemune byeongwone gayo) |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: ์ํ ์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์ ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์. (apeun agi ttaemune byeongwone gayo) |
