Hi everyone. I recently rejoined a gym after having one year break. It was great to be back to my favourite dance class and let the hip do the talking. My legs are a bit sore but it is a nice kind of pain. :) Today, let's find out who won the game. Who won the baseball game today? 오늘 야구 경기 누가 이겼어요? 오늘, ohnul, today 야구, yagoo, baseball 경기, kyunggi, game 누가, nuga, who 이겼어요, eegyotsoyo, won 오늘 야구 경기 누가 이겼어요? ohnul yagoo kyunggi nuga eegyotsoyo? Here are a few words to indicate time. 어제, erje, yesterday 내일, neil, tomorrow 아침, achim, morning 오전, ohchun, in the morning or AM 점심, chomsim, noon 오후, ohhu, in the afternoon, or PM 저녁, chonyak, evening 밤, bam, night Then how can you say "Who won last night?"? It is "어제 밤 누가 이겼어요?". Easy, isn't it. :) And 아침, 점심 and 저녁 could mean breakfast, lunch and dinner depending on the context. Check out my earlier post on this at How about KFC? You can use "어느 팀, erne team, which team" instead of "누가" from today...

Hi all. Wow, today I have a new follower! Welcome, Leaa! I should have introduced lacosta too. lacosta has lovely blogs. The first follower was my sister who joined as a token of moral support (upon my request). ;) Anyway, what kind of sports do you like? I like golf... just going out there alone watching grass grow... lol But you might like team sports. I like sports that I can play with others. 나는 여러 사람과 함께하는 운동을 좋아합니다. 나는, nanun, I 여러, yorua, several 사람과, saramgua, person + suffix 함께하는, hamkehanun, doing together 운동을, undonguel, sports + suffix 좋아합니다, joahapnida, like 나는 여러 사람과 함께하는 운동을 좋아합니다. nanun yorua saramgua hamkehanun undonguel joahapnida. 여러 goes well with many countable nouns. 여러 사람 is several people, 여러 나라 is several countries, 여러 음식 is several foods, 여러 가지 is several things and so on. Interestingly, 여러 명 is also several people, 여러 개 also mean several things. But the difference is 명 and 개 are not nouns, they are rather counter words. For example; 한 개 , 두 개 , 세 개 mean one,...

Hi all. This week I am going to talk about sports. There are many sports that are popular in Korea including soccer, baseball, volleyball, basketball and so on. But let's first find out what is the national sport of Korea. :) What is the national sport of Korea? 한국을 대표하는 운동은 무엇입니까? 한국, hanguk, Korea ~을, eul, a suffix that follows a noun 대표하는, daepyohanun, representing 운동, undong, sport ~은, eun, another suffix that follows a noun 무엇입니까, muersimnika, what is it 한국을 대표하는 운동은 무엇입니까? hangukeul daepyohanun undongeun muersimnika? All these suffixes make Korean very difficult to learn. Many suffixes have different forms depending on how the sound of the followed noun ends. For example, if the noun ends with a consonant 을 and 은 are used. But if the noun ends with a vowel, 를 and 는 are used receptively. I'll give you some examples instead of trying to explain the grammar itself. 한국사람 은 매운 음식 을 좋아합니다. Korean people like spicy food. 민 은 저녁 을 먹었습니다. Min had dinner. 나 는 책 을 읽습니다. I rea...
