POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Miseon: Hi Keith, do you think 지상 (jisang) did that on purpose?
Keith: Well, yeah. I mean, He was like, you don’t hear me? So, Yeah, I don’t hear you.
Miseon: It’s obvious, right?
Keith: 네 (ne). He’s answering, so of course he did that on purpose. He didn’t want to pay for his credit card, so, just pretending not to hear him. Hey, I can’t hear you … What? What?
Miseon: Oh god, that’s so … He must be so 똑똑 해요 (sinyong kadeu). But he’s going to have to pay eventually, right?
Keith: Yeah, definitely. Miseon, do you use your 신용 카드 (sinyong kadeu) your credit card a lot?
Miseon: Not a lot, I believe that credit card is evil. You know, I do have a credit card actually, to be honest, but I’m trying not to use, you know, much or many?
Keith: But how about culture in Korea? 신용 카드 문화 (sinyong kadeu munhwa) I guess, is that what would you say?
Miseon: Yeah, 신용 카드 문화 (sinyong kadeu munhwa). Yeah, that’s what we say.
Keith: What’s the credit card culture in Korea recently? I think in Korea it’s become increasingly increasingly, you know, focus on using credit cards, or may be debit cards, but now more people are carrying around credit cards and using them much more often I think.
Miseon: Yeah, recently I visited Korea like a couple of years ago, and then, so many people are actually using credit cards, because they want to have a gift or tributes from the credit card company, or … Yeah.
Keith: So, you dot up your points, you use them. And then, may be you get a toaster oven.
Miseon: 네 (ne). I want a coffee machine, something like that, right?
Keith: Everyone likes free gifts, right?
Miseon: Yeah, yeah.

Keith: All right, and taxi fare?
Miseon: 택시 요금 (taeksi yogeum).

Keith: And that one’s electricity fees. Okay, great. What’s the next word we’re going to look at?
Miseon: Next word is a verb that you can use with this word 요금 (yogeum).
Keith: So, something that we all don’t like to do. We have to pay, right?
Miseon: Ah, that’s my hate. No, you have to pay. I wouldn’t say that, You have to pay, right? So, it’s 내다 (naeda) in Korean.
Keith: Right, that’s to pay.
Miseon: 내다 (naeda)
Keith: So how do you say: I’m going to pay.
Miseon: 제가 낼 거예요 (jega nael geoyeyo), or 제가 낼게요. (jega naelgeyo.)
Keith: Well listeners don’t worry if you’re not familiar with the sentence structure yet. Here just focus on the word itself. Can we have those one more time?
Miseon: Sure, 제가 낼 거예요 (jega nael geoyeyo), or 제가 낼게요 (jega naelgeyo)
Keith: Okay, and how about: I paid already.
Miseon: 벌써 냈어요. (beolsseo naesseoyo.)
Keith: Okay, great. Now it looks like it’s time for the focus of this lesson.

Lesson focus

Keith: So, what’s the focus of this lesson.
Miseon: The focus of this lesson is how to make negative sentences using the verb “to hear”.
Keith: Okay, so as in the example:
Miseon: 안 들려요! (an deullyeoyo!)
Keith: I don’t hear you.
Miseon: 네 (ne), when you’re talking on the phone and you suddenly don’t hear the other person’s voice.
Keith: Or may be when you want to pretend that you don’t hear them. Kind of liking this dialogue.
Miseon: Yeah, all right. And then, you need to tell the person that you don’t hear his or her voice.
Keith: Right, so then you’re going to need to make a negative statement.
Miseon: Exactly, in Korean, there isn’t just one way of making negative sentences, but the most commonly used method is very simple.
Keith: All right, so how do you do that then?
Miseon: You just have to add the word 안 (an) in front of the verb.
Keith: Yeah, sounds pretty simple. So, how about an example?
Miseon: The word for: To go is 가다 (gada) and if you want to say: I go, you say 가요 (gayo), right?
Keith: Right, and then how do you say: I don’t go, or I’m not going.
Miseon: 안 가요. (an gayo.)
Keith: Yeah, really really simple. So, how about another example, let’s say: It’s good.
Miseon: 좋아요. (joayo.)
Keith: Okay, and how about: It’s not good?
Miseon: 안 좋아요. (an joayo.)
Keith: Really simple. So how was it used in this dialogue?
Miseon: 안 들려요. (an deullyeoyo.)
Keith: “I don’t hear you”. Okay, well, now I think we have to have a closer look at the expression 들리다. (deullida.) What do you think, Miseon?
Miseon: I’m going to say that.
Keith: Good. So what’s the word again?
Miseon: 들리다 (deullida.)
Keith: To hear, or to be heard.
Miseon: 들리다, 들리다. (deullida, deullida.)
Keith: Okay. So, you may know in English, you would say that you hear, or can hear something. But in Korean it’s a little different.
Miseon: 네 (ne). You need to say that something is heard in the passive voice. So this verb 들리다 (deullida) is used like an active verb, but the meaning is passive.
Keith: Exactly, so when you hear a sound, you say that that sound it is heard to your ears, rather than you hear the sound. But Miseon, why is that?
Miseon: Well, it’s because in Korean, if you use the word to hear, which is 듣다 (deutda), it mean “to listen”.
Keith: Yeah, so if you want to distinguish "hear" and "listen", in Korean it becomes "to be heard" and "to listen".
Miseon: 네 (ne).
Keith: Okay, let’s look at some examples.
Miseon: 네 (ne). using 듣다 (deutda) to listen, you can say 음악 들어요? (eumak deureoyo?)
Keith: And that means: Are you listening to music?
Miseon: But using 들리다 (deullida), to be heard, you can say 음악 들려요? (eumak deullyeoyo?)
Keith: Do you hear the music?
Miseon: Another example, 안 들어요 (an deureoyo).
Keith: I’m not listening.
Miseon: 안 들려요. (an deullyeoyo.)
Keith: I can’t hear it. All right, great job, Miseon-ssi.
Miseon: 감사합니다. (gamsahamnida.)
