Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Brandon: In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Korean learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native speaker. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations.
GRAMMAR POINT
Brandon: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question “Do you have any brothers and sisters?” In Korean this is
Kyejin: 형제나 자매가 있습니까? (Hyeongjena jamaega itseumnikka?)
Brandon: The first word in the question is
Kyejin: 형제나 자매 (hyeongjena jamae)
Brandon: meaning ‘siblings’ in English. Literally, this means 'brothers or sisters.'
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 형제나 자매
Brandon: Listen again and repeat.
Kyejin: 형제나 자매 (hyeongjena jamae)
{Pause}
Brandon: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is
Kyejin: 가 (ga)
Brandon: the subject marking particle.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 가 (ga)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 가 (ga)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat.
Kyejin: 형제나 자매가 (hyeongjena jamae)
{pause}
Brandon: And after that
Kyejin: 있습니 (itseumni)
Brandon: This is the verb-stem of the verb
Kyejin: 있습니다. (itseumnida.)
Brandon: meaning “there is”, “there are”, “exist”, or “to have”.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 있습니 (itseumni)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 있습니 (itseumni)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the the first 3 words of the question and repeat.
Kyejin: 형제나 자매가 있습니 (hyeongjena jamaega itseumni)
{pause}
Brandon: And next
Kyejin: 까 (kka)
Brandon: this is the question marker.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 까 (kka)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 까 (kka)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the entire question and repeat.
Kyejin: 형제나 자매가 있습니까. (Hyeongjena jamaega itseumnikka.)
{pause}
Brandon: (You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies.) Master the following pattern and responses to the question Do you have any brothers and sisters??
Kyejin: 여동생이 있습니다. (Yeodongsaengi itseumnida.)
Brandon: "I have a younger sister.” Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase.
Kyejin: (Slow) 여동생이 있습니다. (Yeodongsaengi itseumnida.)
{pause}
Brandon: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word:
Kyejin: 여동생 (yeodongsaeng)
Brandon: means “younger sister.”
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 여동생 (yeodongsaeng)
Brandon: Now repeat
Kyejin: 여동생 (yeodongsaeng)
{Pause}
Brandon: And next
Kyejin: 이 (i)
Brandon: the subject marking particle.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 이 (i)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 이 (i)
{Pause}
Brandon: And after that
Kyejin: 있습니다. (itseumnida.)
Brandon: meaning “there is”, “there are”, “to exist”, or “to have”.
Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 있습니다. (itseumnida.)
Brandon: Now repeat.
Kyejin: 있습니다. (itseumnida.)
{Pause}
Brandon: Listen to the speaker say, “I have a younger sister.”, and then repeat.
Kyejin: 여동생이 있습니다. (Yeodongsaengi itseumnida.)
{pause}
Brandon: To expand on the pattern, replace “younger sister” with “older brother”.
Kyejin: 형 (hyeong)
Brandon: older brother
Kyejin: (slow) 형 (hyeong)
(regular) 형 (hyeong)
Brandon: Listen to the phrase again, this time with “older brother”
Kyejin: 형이 있습니다. (Hyeongi itseumnida.)
Brandon: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace “younger sister” with “older brother”. Say “I have an older brother”.
{pause}
Kyejin: 형이 있습니다. (Hyeongi itseumnida.)
Brandon: Note that the word
Kyejin: 형(hyeong)
Brandon: can be used only by a male speaker. If you're a female speaker, you can use the word.
