[alvjbielyrics]

Please dont ever stop making these videos!!!! I love the way you teach!!! Please dont change ur style in teaching!!! You are amazziiingggg!!!! I salute you... More powers to you ♥

[nguyenthianhlinh]

あはっ♪(^∇^*)*^∇^) あはっ♪ Thank you, I like your teaching style very much. I speak VN, English, and Japanese but I know Korean seems to be the most difficult for me so far. You are a great teacher. Thanks for introducing to me such a fun language. ニャハハ (*^▽^*)

[MrAmigodelapaz]

when do you use NUGA...and when NUGU?

[DJEcksDeeJustin]

i'm too scared that if i say simple korean when i go overseas, the locals will think i speak korean and continue replying me in fluent korean. I will just be ...??????!?!?!

[zhung1]

I Translate from gooogle

왜 했어요?

What's that?

You Wrong Or Google Wrong?

[tokee1234567]

@zhung1 never trust google 100%. this is a Korean speaking. usually most foreign sources for Korean translations are like faulty to the maximum. Only Naver dictionary (best Korean online resource websites) can be trusted in its accuracy in my opinion,

[cooljanemunker]

Ahh, thank you so much! ^o^ it has always been my dream to learn korean, and your videos help me do that!!

[xalkoonx]

thank you

شكرا ^^

[luckygirlthanyou]

[EmmaNillanNilsson]

i've heard people just say eodi (=where)... CONFUSING!!!

[TokioHotel220]

@EmmaNillanNilsson its is like how we shorten words perople in Korea do to. you learn to pick it up as you go. i was really slow when i first started too but im geting use to the short way of saything things and it really is much faster

[raghad49]

saranghee u kamsameda ajashy

[tokee1234567]

@raghad49 ajjeossi

[raghad49]

@tokee1234567 oh :-) kamsameda

[dlooo3a12]

thenk you



[bokosippo]

is 누가/누구 the same thing?? I'm sorry I bet all my comments on every one of your videos gets annoying......hahaha but if you ever want to learn something in spanish I would be glad to teach you since you have taught me so much :)

[snowstay]

@bokosippo 누가 is short form of 누구가(barely used).

~~"가" means "is" in korean. so 누가 is "who is" and 누구 is just "who"

[bokosippo]

@snowstay ahhhhh thank you!!

[bokosippo]

@tokee1234567 thanks~

[GoldiGirlProducts]

Thankyou so much for all these vidoes!! They are by far the most helpful I've come across!

[nourafied]

like .. hae , imneda , haeyo ?

- lol everyone is doing it for someone ^^.. i'm learning it because

i love korea .. < and snsd ^^" someday i'm going to talk to my unies

in Korean 

[clainclown14]

how would you say 'me?' when if someone asks you to do something and you're like, 'oh me?' as in are you asking me to do it. would be a great help (*_*)

[tokee1234567]

@clainclown14 say Jeo-yo? (polite form of "you mean me?")

[jezminmsia]

Thanks :D

[NaneunB2utyImnida]

How would you say "because you make me smile"? Neomu neomu kamsahamnida!!

[TheFaizol82]

As a whole,I understand but you do not explain the meaning of you...

[Miyuuchyan2010]

Yours are the most helpful videos I have found for learning Korean.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@Miyuuchyan2010 Thank you^__^

[sweetgurlann1]

선생님 감사합니다 ^_^



[BusyAtomdotcom]

@sweetgurlann1 네, 감사합니다^__^

[leedahae]

pls help me..im still confuse as to when to use: g vs k, t vs d, r vs l..thank you so much!!! :)

[poppinshutter]

thank you so much for all of your video...because of of your video...im able to read and write korean...but not really fast in spelling those words...plus,sometimes i have no idea what am i reading in sort of comics and magazines..but thats ok..ill try more in the future..i wanna buy korean dictionary...to learn more!and again kamsahamnida..

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@poppinshutter 감사합니다. There are many online dictionaries too if you are interested.

[ceruleanblues86]

@BusyAtomdotcom What is a good online dictionary? Have been looking for one

[Classic1940s]

Thank you! Super helpful! :)

hahaha, at 0:54 I kept going back and forth with him at the 'eodiseo' :P

[maingoc100]

i really like it! thank you so much!

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@maingoc100 감사합니다^__^.

[oOMoonwhispereOo]

very helpfull thank you :D

[ahchen94]

i thought "who" is nugu?



[BusyAtomdotcom]

@ahchen94 That's correct. 누구 is who and 누구가 is 누구 + 가 (subject particle). 누가 is a contracted form of 누구가.

[tabithaminable]

@BusyAtomdotcom How would you say "why did you do that?" would you say wae haeseoigeo?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@tabithaminable I will say '왜 그랬어요?" (polite), "왜 그랬어?" (casual)^__^

[Fantansygirl64]

wae wae wae wae lol I bet you hear that a bit too much

[edellemurphy09]

WUOW .. DDOING EVERYTHING FOR SHINEE !! FIGHTINNG !

[WeIrDGirlProduction]

@edellemurphy09 'eotteoke, eotteoke!' SHINee FTW<3

[TokioHotel220]

@edellemurphy09 hahaha me too lol SHINee is why im learning Korean and what really inspired me to learn about the culture as well now my mom calls me hr little korean

[cristicutielolzi]

wouah what did you do it sounds wrong ...anyway care to explain or give an example please ??

[Eltha1994]

Thank you so much !

[umiryuzaki90]

i like when you say english with it too.. like you say nuga than you say its who in korean. thanks for teaching us!!! :)

[xxnahu]

Never mind, i saw you corrected it! sorry

[xxnahu]

Im pretty sure "What did you do it?" isnt proper english. It would be "what did you do?"

[TheFruitSquad]

@xxnahu the format might be different in korean. since its in korean they wouldnt be using proper english

[lildevilxxangel]

Thanks!

[NaneunB2utyImnida]

Could you please tell me what is " i'm trying my best" in Korean - informal/hangul? Please!! Kamsahamnida!!!

[whiteInc14]

am i correct to say there is no change in a word for pass tense, present tense, and future tense?

[tokee1234567]

@whiteInc14 no. for Korean grammar the ENDING letter of the word (like the suffix) indicates the tense and the politeness. of course Korean has past, present and future tense.

[whiteInc14]

@tokee1234567 well when he said it, it didn't change but he changed it in english. could you please give an example? thanks or gamsamnida!

[tokee1234567]

@whiteInc14 what do you mean? all his examples in this video are in past tense...if you can point out exactly where it'd be helpful

[whiteInc14]

@tokee1234567 well yeah they are i guess it's just that haesaeyo is "did it" but he'll say "when did you do it" so he adds "you do" in between. starting at 2:48 is when i get confused. when he's combining words.

[tokee1234567]

@whiteInc14 that's the english language... you're supposed to put any verb after you make a sentence with "did" in present tense. that doesn't have anything to do with Korean.

with Korean it's just a matter of making things make sense. Haesseo = did. for ex (eonje haesseoyo - you can't make that = when did??? you have to say when did you do ---?)

when did you "play (verb here becomes present)" and etc.... Is English not your first language? (no offense intended at all)

[whiteInc14]

@tokee1234567 lol no it is my first language and no offense taken but it's like with english you add the extra word "it" while in korean it just stays those two words.

[tokee1234567]

@whiteInc14 most of the times a lot of things in a Korean sentence can be left out, like the subject and the direct object. it's all about context and how you figure out what they're really asking about/for

[whiteInc14]

@tokee1234567 okay thanks. i guess i should just treat it a little like when i was learning spanish. there are phrases in spanish that mean the same as an english phrase but are shorter or longer. thank you so much!

[KnuffellinchenxD]

but who is nugu not nuga?!

[campcawaii16]

@KnuffellinchenxD

...i also thought it was nugu :|

[KnuffellinchenxD]

@campcawaii16 i asked the korean teacher on my school she said 누구 (nugu) o__O

im so confused now..

[tokee1234567]

@KnuffellinchenxD NUGU (who)

you say I met this guy. your friend will say NUGU?

NUGA (who but is related to the action).

you say someone threw the ball. the other person will say (NUGA? - who threw it?)

[KnuffellinchenxD]

@tokee1234567 okey thank u for clearing it up :DD

[tokee1234567]

@campcawaii16 read my comments for other people. they both mean the same. remember that for Korean, there are at least 2-3 different ways to say one thing

[mae4884]

in "who" why is it in other korean-english dictionary it is "nugu" not "nuga"?

thank you... so confuse!!

[tokee1234567]

@mae4884 you say I met this guy. your friend will say NUGU?

NUGA (who but is related to the action).

you say someone threw the ball. the other person will say (NUGA? - who threw it?)

[MeLodicTrix]

i have a question. when "why" "wae" means, what is then with "Nowae"?

excuse me for my terrible english.

[tokee1234567]

@MeLodicTrix nowae... do you mean "nuh wae?" that means "why are you.."

but I think you might have heard the sentence wrong...

[tokee1234567]

@MeLodicTrix nowae??? was that in the video???

[lolchanele]

Haha thanks!! This is the best video's ever! :D Do you have a book or something? Cuz if so I would buy it :D

[darknecroman1]

thanks.

[anahyun25]

.good day :)) .can i ask some question ? ,when asking a question the S-O-V (subject-object-verb) form is not use ? thanks :) .thanks for the video ur the great :))

[tokee1234567]

@anahyun25 well actually in a lot of the times, Koreans don't use Subjects at all in their conversational sentences unless it needs clarification.

To answer your question, yes it does follow the SOV format, but I just wanted to throw the extra fact in there.

Sometimes, a Korean might just say the verb "eating?" and that will directly translate to "are you going to eat anything?"

[asakura810]

"what did you do it.".is a wrong English sentence... must be..WHAT DID YOU DO.. hehe... IS haessoyo comes from the root word 하 that means do?? if so how do you transform verb to past tense?

[tokee1234567]

@asakura810 하다 hada= "to do" in korean.

for past tense, usually involves 했다 hetda = "did" or any endings with the bottom consonant SS ㅆ will indicate that it is related to the past,

[sindiechan]

mr.busyatom can i ask if you can also send me a korean consonant chart too please mr.busy atom gomawaran............ XXDD

[tokee1234567]

@sindiechan btw gomawaran is not the best way to tell someone thank you in this case (it's an extremely colloquial/impolite form)

and you can easily find the consonant laid out on the table in wikipedia or if you look around google you can easily find them

[sindiechan]

@tokee1234567 really but my korean friend told me that its better to say that word to friends

i guess she's giving me a wrong info TT.TT

[tokee1234567]

@sindiechan it is right to say that to friends, but busyatomdotcom is an older adult that you haven't even met before. you need to say politely if it's a Korean that you know is at least 1-2 yrs older than you and you don't know the person well

[nazcikkerz]

what is the diffrence between mwo and mueseu

l

[tokee1234567]

@nazcikkerz mwo - what (subject)

mueoseul - what (direct object - the object that's affected by the action (verb) in the sentence)

[KaisahBOO]

hi uhhh i still dont understand... how do you write W and Z in korean? thanks :)

[tokee1234567]

@KaisahBOO there is no letter for Z, V, X and F in Korean. that's just how it goes.

for W it's all in the vowels

ㅇ for silent consonant + vowels ㅘ (wa), ㅙ / ㅚ / ㅞ(wae), ㅝ (wuh), ㅟ (wii), ㅘ (wa)

[Kurisutaruable]

wonderful teacher..if it weren't for him, i wouldn't have remembered half of my lessons.!!

[worldsbestmom94]

while I was watching a drama when they use otteoke it seems to be with what shall i do. so I am a little confused, jom dowajuseyo?

[tokee1234567]

@worldsbestmom94 what shall I do originally is 어떡게 해 (how + do = what should I do. the word HOW is included) but the shortened form is the one you heard that's Eoteok-hae (어떡해) the shortened form is used more in informal conversation so that's why you would have heard it

[worldsbestmom94]

@tokee1234567 arraso gamsahmida! I meant to say I got it thank you is that right? Also now that a i have learned how to read alot of the korean syllables it is easier to write my korean in korean alphabet. how do you get korean characters?

[tokee1234567]

@worldsbestmom94 algesseoyo (yes I get it - arrasseo works too but 1. it's in impolite form and algesseoyo suits the sentence better)

what do you mean? on the computer? I use macbook where all the language fonts are already in the computer so I can type in any language. but with pc's (windows) I don't know how.. in Korea they have windows in Korean so ppl just get it that way. sorry I can't help you

[tokee1234567]

@worldsbestmom94 typo what should I do in original form is 어떻게 해

shortened form is 어떡해.

[panetjhane]

komapta..:)

i really learned a lot.:)

[mohini12]

OMG you are a wonderful teacher!!!!!!! <3

[glamglad]

I have question, if i'm not mistaken, i can see the "h" after the "eotteo-" in your hangul.. so that would be eotteohke? please confirm.

[tokee1234567]

@glamglad technically, but if you say the word fast enough it does sound like Eotteokae. (the H sound is not audible and only the K sound is, that's why the romanization is like that)

[itapnio]

nugu "nuuu-ga" .."nuuuu-ga" .."sorry, it has to be a" LOL

[taeminsgf]

This can be used by any age? even a kid to an adult or adult to child?

[tokee1234567]

@taeminsgf most of the sentences that busyatomdotcom teaches are in FORMAL terms, which means that you should use it to ppl older than you, ppl who you have never met and are around the same age as you.

adults only use it to a kid when they want to, but not really. they use the INFORMAL term instead

[lowhigh000]

THANK YOU I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS :) it helped me very much :) please make more

[GaijinPrincess]

Dugo ? or Nugo ? When saying it ?

[taeminsgf]

So this is formal or casual? sorta confused with the concept

thankss

[MICHELLE6827]

thanks ,this helped me alot!! :)

[keioppp]

why is "who" sometimes "누 구"?

[taeminsgf]

okay umm wae is why? what is doushite?

[hotarubiQ]

@taeminsgf doushite is why but in japanese :)

[tokee1234567]

@taeminsgf doushite is japanese, not korean

[ShmoJoe84]

I really enjoy your classes, thank you.

i have a question: how would i say " what did you guys do?"

[venssss]

How is -for you in Korean?

[C00kiesLUV]

i wanna ask is hi in korean annyeong or an-yo

[venssss]

10x

[wadever05]

is ottokaJI formal Korean?

[tokee1234567]

@wadever05 no it's an informal term.

ottokha-jyo or ottokhaeyaha-jyo is the formal term

[eightysixtysix]

ive been watching some of your videos and they are very helpful..

but im just a little bit confused on the pronunciation of the letters J and Ch..K and G..in reading sentences..and about the letter S..do we have to pronounce it like it always has a T before it, like in haeseoyo?

[tokee1234567]

@eightysixtysix you should watch his reading and words video.. he describes them. a lot of ending/bottom consonants have different sounds depending on what letter follows them and etc.

most consonants when placed at the end makes a T sound.

ㅅ ㅊ ㄷ and etc

[eightysixtysix]

ive been watching your videos..and they are very very useful..

but sumtimes i really get confused with J and Ch..K and G..

and are all S must be pronounced like it has a T before it?

thanks..

[Ayumi2nE1]

it really help me to learn korean . tnx . :)

[mylove1398]

isnt what "mwo"?idk...im new

[tokee1234567]

@mylove1398 mwo - what in terms of subject. muwotseul - what in terms of direct object

[mylove1398]

@tokee1234567 thank you sir!

[88ccue88]

Very good! Thanks! You are good teacher ^-^b

[underman1]

how come some koreans say for what 뭐?, is it a short form

[tokee1234567]

@underman1 mwo - what in terms of subject. muwotseul - what in terms of direct object. 뭐 is a short term. implying that you should repeat or elaborate on what you just said. 뭐라고? 뭐야? are also used when saying "what??"

[brikx13]

what kind of korean book you recomend for the bigginer? can u please send it back to my account?... im so very intersted to learn a korean language... tnx

[jacqilinetio]

eodiseo and eodie when shall i use it??both this word means where right??:)...thanks in advance...

[tokee1234567]

@jacqilinetio eodie just means "where". eodiseo means where but like (from where, in where) it's like an actual specific description of where... like "from where did you get that"

[jacqilinetio]

wat's the diff between where in lesson (eodiseo) and lessen 4 (eodie)??:)...thanks in advance...

[CrniStevan]

Great lesson :D

Just want to thank you for your effort!

[rollzvalle]

annyonghasaeyo... please explain... how or when can i use in the sentence the ending particle eun, nun, eul, leul, ea or i and ga or ka ... kamsahamnida

[tokee1234567]

@rollzvalle eun/neun - particle for verbs that tells a state (is/am/are)

eul/leul - particle for a direct object that receives the action

ea.. you mean ae? it's a particle for a person receiving the action and it's a preposition "to" - tells a place (aesuh)

ga/ka - particle for subjects that are doing the action

[tokee1234567]

@rollvalle particles are dual b/c it depends on whether the letter before it has an ending consonant or not. eul - ending consonant. leul - no ending consonant eun - ending con. neun - no ending con iga - ending con. ga- no ending con. ex. 도연이가 공을 저기에 차요 Doyun is kicking the ball over there. DoyunIGA gongEUL juhgiAE/EH chayo iga - for the action "kicking" - doyun being the subject eul - ball is receiving the action. it is getting kicked ae/eh - juhgi means there so it's like "to there"

[rollzvalle]

@tokee1234567 thanks for the reply... and thats a big help...kamsahamnida...:)

[ysiad0616]

wow...u really did great...

[0125aquarius]

thanks for this vid! its great! very helpful

[YulasDarkAngeL]

Ok i get confuse for what cause i saw like mwoyeyo? then mueoseul? what the differences of the two?

[tokee1234567]

@YulasDarkAngeL mwoyeyo is "what is it" and "muoseul" is which

[kerryoke68]

Fantastic video. Very helpful thank you!

[Cruth8987]

you teach very well!

[pengheng]

Can we use 누구 for who too? Some people use nugu and some use nuga. Pretty confused ^_^

[tokee1234567]

@pengheng @pengheng yes. nugu is "who" too. nuga is used when you use "who" with a verb (who did this? =nuga) when you just want to know who the person who is receiving the action (I'm going to give this to him. I am going to vote for him. who?? - nugu) hope it helps

[pengheng]

@tokee1234567 oh okay thanks! ^^

[springbreezejoy]

Thank you, This course is perfect for me.

I'm trying to learn the Alphabet and writing, but it's a bit difficult . But I shall continue to learn .Thank you again.

[yajeangelou]

i really learn a lot from you. you are great. thanks much :)

[seramusiclover]

i wanna ask something.. how to differentiate between k and g in korean alphabets.. bcoz 강인 pronounce as kang in but 한가인 is pronounce as han ga in ... ga and ka?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

Ok, when 'ㄱ' comes as an initial consonant and an initial syllable as in 강인, it sounds close to 'k' but when 'ㄱ' is placed as an initial consonant but not in the initial syllable it sounds close to 'g'. I will send you the korean consonant chart link.

[netzkiekoi]

@BusyAtomdotcom hi atom seonsengnim..im one of your great fan..can you send me korean chart link too?thank you..

[netzkiekoi]

@BusyAtomdotcom hi atom seonsengnim..im one of your great fan..can you send me korean chart link too?thank you..

[TheBoyfriendlover]

@BusyAtomdotcom could u send it to me too? the korean consontant chart link i mean. kamsahamnida sonsaengnim!

[kimberlyanna100]

@seramusiclover there is a difference,

i just started learning korean too so i know what u mean,

but one of them this one 강 it has a slight g sound too it,

and the other one its like k in Kim. its a harder k sound.

like Kangaroo. and the other one is softer.

i cant explain it but there is a difference.

umm yeah,

hope this helped a little?

[senika]

thank you it's very helpful, I especially like that you say it a lot of times it's easier to remember when I can see the word and at the same time hear it repeatedly again and again ^ ^

[sophasopha00]

I heard of Mi-an-na-da, Mi-an-ne, Mi-an-ham-ni-da.

in what situation to do you use it?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

First two are a casual way of speaking and the last one is a formal way of speaking. Please refer my 'Korean Lessons for beginner 001' video for more information on two ways of speaking.

[Missbigb2st]

@BusyAtomdotcom what is the difference between eodie and eodiseo? please...thanks ^^ best teacher :)

[tokee1234567]

@Missbigb2st eodie - where

eodisseo- where is/are ____

[Missbigb2st]

@tokee1234567 aaahh cool thanks....now i understand^^

[Maviiess]

Wow , Thanks alot ...

I think that korean language is really hard to learn ... if you say a sentence , you have to combine the words together , which is really hard .

[BusyAtomdotcom]

You're welcome! 감사합니다.

[Jesse9900]

how come some times the say who with "u" instead of the a

[BusyAtomdotcom]

누가 [Nuga] is actually a short form of 누구가 [Nuguga]. 누구 [nugu] means 'who'.

'가' [ga] is called a particle and does not have any meaning but has a grammatical function that marks subject.

[KayumiK]

I also have a question. In a bunch of songs they would say "Shipuh" or "Shipeo." What does it mean? And how can i use it in a sentence?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

싶어 is a casual form of a basic verb 싶다 and it means; want to or would like to. I have a video for its use although it is done in a formal type of speech. I will send you the link.

[KayumiK]

@BusyAtomdotcom

thank you ALOT!

[happywithjin]

Hello, can I ask you a question?

How can I say "I am 22 years old" in Korean?

thanks a lot^^

[BusyAtomdotcom]

I am 22 years old in Korean will be

1. 저는 스물두살이에요. (formal)

2. 난 스물두살이야. (casual)

[davejuntilla]

woooooooooooooohhhhhhhoooooooo­o...
