Today, we will be taking a look at the 보니 grammar structure. Depending on what precedes it, the meaning can change a bit. So I will cover the 3 options and their rules and distinctions. With some example sentences for them all, of course! So let’s get into it.
One of my first posts on Sino-Korean and using Hanja to learn Korea was on 人 Hanja, which is where 인 in 인간 and many other words come from. While 人 is related to people, the Hanja we are covering today is also related, but more so about describing a person. 者 or 자 relates more to describing people with a specific job, characteristic, status, etc.. The breakdown of the Hanja from a lot of these comes out to “the one who __”.
This is something I saw coming up in a few words, but unlike others I have covered, it isn’t based on Hanja or Sino-Korean!
All of these terms can be translated as worry in Korean, but their meanings have different nuances. When do you use which one? I’ll run through them quickly, so let’s get into it!
It’s been a while since I touched on Sino-Korean vocab! It’s something that’s always been there, but I’ve picked up on it more recently; many Korean electronics have a theme of using 전. Of course, this comes from Hanja influences with the Hanja 電 relating to electricity/electric words.
Along with K-pop and Korean dramas, Korean beauty is a huge draw for people interested in the country, language, and culture. Now, luckily enough for us, a lot of Korean makeup and skincare terms are just the English flipped into Korean! But I’ll run through a lot of things from products, skin types, makeup-specific verbs, and more, so let’s get into it.
This week, we are getting into some important Korean adverbs; time, frequency, and other related terms! These are words that tell you how often something is happening (weekly, monthly, daily, nightly) and help to describe when and where. From position, the location particle, order, and calendar days, to help you build out your vocabulary.
Today, we will get into some more grammar and both the plain and honorific ways to say giving in Korean! 주다 is a pretty versatile verb, allowing you to attach it to other verbs to create the meaning of ‘doing something for someone’. So, let’s get into it!
하다 Verbs are some of the most common verbs you’ll see when beginning your Korean learning journey. So let’s get into how they are structured, a comprehensive list including the common and not-so-common, conjugation, and more!
Tea is a classic drink with a long history, and Korea is no exception. Today I’ll dive a bit into the drink with vocab for the different kinds of tea in Korean, Korea’s culture and history with tea, some Sino-Korean, and more.
