Is there conjugation in korean that differentiate between plural or singular nouns?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@thefinestofthetime I don't think that Korean language is that sensitive to using Plural unless there needs distinction between plural and singular or emphasis. But that's just my unproved opinion.^__^

back in a feb issue when you taught how much is this... this was an 'E-got" sound but here its being pronounced "E-gey" are both the same despite the different sounds?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

이것 is this(이) thing(것). Not like in English, Korean 'this' - '이' is used as more strict adjective. So in many occasions people put some sort of noun after '이' to indicate stuff or idea or whatever. When '이것' is used in the sentence sometime you put the subject particle '이' - coincidentally the same character as 'this' and it becomes 이것이. AND 이게 is a contraction of 이것이. In other words, they have the same meaning.

hi, you mentioned in one of your earlier videos that "this(thing)" is igeo or igeot. In this video, you refer to "this" as ige, so are the 3 of them all the same? Thanks.

To be strict

'이' is 'this'

'것' is 'thing'

'게' is a contraction of '것이' - '이' in this case is a subject particle.

Not like in English, Korean always attach some noun after 'this' so in English it will be 'What's this?' but in Korean it should be 'What's this thing?'

Is the answer "I have only one boyfriend" same as the answer of girlfriend here?

[a3ng25]

i think i figured it out actually... the 'E-gey' is more like jsut saying "this" and 'E-got' is more like saying "this thing"...is that accurate?
