Lesson 11 - Introduction to Particles Pt. 2 KSP

Particles are a fundamental element to Korean.

They are basically prepositions, attached to the end of verbs. Since all the elements are at the beginning of a Korean sentence, then linked with the verb at the very end, particles tell you what's doing what in the sentence.

ESSENTIAL PARTICLES:
The Subject Particle: 이/가 attaches to the thing doing the action.
The Direct Object Particle: 을/를 attaches to the thing receiving the action.
The Topic Particle: 은/는 refers to something that was previously mentioned, usually the subject of the sentence.

Descriptive verbs NEVER take 을/를. That includes 있다, 없다, 아니다 and 이다.

Thank you SO MUCH!

Question: In Lesson 4 you said any consonant + leeul sounds like neeun. But from the way you pronounced some things like the word meaning to be needed, I didn't hear that.

@BlueAsianDragon impressive observation! :D When a silent ㅇ comes after a consonant, the consonant replaces ㅇ. So, 필요하다 sounds like 피료하다. That rule does not apply to this situation but I didn't tell you the carrying sound rule was more important than the sound change rule. Just know that 학아 will sounds like 하가 but 학마 will sounds like 항마. Also, if ㅇ is not silent (it's at the bottom of a syllable) and a ㄹ comes after, the ㄹ does sound like a ㄴ as I described.

The video and the one before it is very helpful, thanks! 태단히 감사힙니다.^^ There is a minor error in the topmost phrase. It reads, 읽으세요, but, it should read, 읽어야해요. 읽으세요 is spoken directly at the person, but, you use 그녀, which indicates she is not there. Thus drop the 그녀 and 읽으세요 is fine, otherwise keep 그녀 and use 읽어야해요 instead [to indicate indirect speech].

@UseAsDirected100 I know what you mean, but I would rather force them to use 으세요 (to be polite) and it can get complex when not to use it. So although it's kind of incorrect, I'd rather that they get into the habit of using it by default (simply because I want them to be respectful by default). In a later lesson, I will show them 으세요 is not necessary when not talking directly to a person. THANK YOU for your comment and correction, :) and thank you so much for watching!

At the very last sentence in the practice, how can you tell that it was in the past tense?

@KoreanSimplyPut Korea for college and stay there.To be an actor there and be a part of just the whole wild performing arts culture they have there. So of COURSE I need to learn the language, and of COURSE it's hard, and these videos are AMAZING. So really, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much. You are a GREAT teacher, and I really respect how well you do it.

@KoreanSimplyPut Why thank you! :D Ah I see! I shall add that to my notes.By the way, thank you SOOO much for these videos. Seriously. My absolute highest and wildest dream which I am most passionate about (am I getting the point across how important it is yet? haha!) is to move to (continued..)
