Thanks so much! Does Korean really have spaces like that?

Also could you explain the difference between 에 and 에서?

[manyakumi]

Does Korean really have spaces like that?

Yeah, kind of tricky.. huh?

Also could you explain the difference between 에 and 에서?

에서 : from
에 : at, in, on, to

manyakumi님
You are such a good teacher. *^^*

티미트리님
한국어는 일본어와 다르게 띄어 쓰기를 해요.
Korean uses spacing of the words in the sentence differently with Japanese.

[manyakumi]

This additional explanation might take you to a maze though,
에서 has the meaning of 'in/on/at' too.

학교에서 점심을 먹었어요.
I ate lunch at school. (when I was at school)

한국에서 영어를 배웠어요.
I studied English in Korea.


As you can see, however,
에서 refers to some moments or places where the ocasion starts from.
On the other hand,
에 has the meaning of the ending point or the target place.

manyakumi님
You are such a good teacher.

Thank you so much.

[MiTriX930]

Thank you all so much!!!

So uh...
한국에 가고싶어요.
I want to go to Korea.

저는 학교에서 돌아갔어요.
I returned from school. (?)

[manyakumi]

저는 학교에서 돌아갔어요.
I returned from school. (?)

돌아왔어요.

[MiTriX930]

돌아왔어요. Ok.

How do you express that something "is like" something else.

ex. in Japanese they have (adj. + そうです。）Meaning "It looks..."

How do you do that in Korean?

[clubhollis]

hmmm....

there are many way was to say like. it depends if you want to say like as in "seems like" or like as in "like him/me/her" etc.

The adverb for like is 차럼

let me give you an example.

나처럼 해봐= Do it like me

너 오바마처럼 보여요= You look like Obama.

also u might want to use 같다 which is a verb.

누나와 나는 성격이 같다= My sister and I have similar personalities
