| KEY VOCABULARY AND PHRASES |
| Keith: Alright. Well, let’s take a closer look at some of the words. |
| Misun: The first word that we’ll look at is 설악산. |
| Keith: That’s Seorak Mountain. |
| Misun: 네. We want to look at the last syllable. |
| Keith: Right. The last syllable means mountain. |
| Misun: 산. |
| Keith: So for all of the mountains that came out in the dialog, there's 산 at the end of all of them |
| Misun: 네. 설악산, 한라산, 그리고 백두산. |
| Keith: Right, so they all come at the end. |
| Misun: You can also use 산 just by itself. |
| Keith: Yup, when you do that, it just means mountain. |
| Misun: So for example, you can say, 산 올라갔어요. |
| Keith: “I went up a mountain.” Okay, let’s move onto our next word. |
| Misun: 강원도. |
| Keith: And that’s Gangwon province. And again, we're going to take a look at the last syllable |
| Misun: 도. |
| Keith: This means province. |
| Misun: Yes, so for 강원도... |
| Keith: And that's Gangwon province. |
| Misun: And there's also 제주도. |
| Keith: And that’s Jeju Province. And really quickly, just to make out point, what are some other provinces in Korea? |
| Misun: Sure! In South Korea, there is 경기도, 충청도, 경상도, 전라도. |
| Keith: Okay. So at the end of all of them, you heard 도. |
| Misun: 네. |
| Keith: All right. The last word we're going to take a look at is North Korea. What is that? |
| Misun: 북한 |
| Keith: But you know what, I always hear my grandmother calling it 이북. Is there a difference between 이북 and 북한? |
| Misun: No. There is not so much difference between 이북 and 북한 but 이북 or 이남 actually what’s used to be said back in the days like around the World War II, like a Korean war time period. You know, old generation used to say 이북 or 이남 which indicating North Korea and South Korea. Nowadays, not younger people say that way. |
| Keith: Okay. So for the older generation, what would they call North Korea? |
| Misun: 이북 |
| Keith: And for our modern generation, what would they call North Korea? |
| Misun: 북한 |
| Keith: Okay. Well, let’s move on to our focus for this lesson. |
Lesson focus |
| Misun: The focus of this lesson is the verb 있다. |
| Keith: Okay, the verb 있다 (itda) in this lesson focuses on location. |
| Misun: 네, 맞아요. Like, "I am here." |
| Keith: "I am in school." |
| Misun: Or even, "Where is Mount Halla?" |
| Keith: Right, just like in our conversation that’s using 있다 for location. |
| Misun: 네. We use the verb 있다 to express location. |
| Keith: I think if we take a look at the dialog, we can understand it better. |
| Misun: Right. The first line is 설악산 어디에 있어요? |
| Keith: Where is Seorak Mountain? |
| Misun: There it's asking where the mountain is located. |
| Keith: Right, so we're using the verb 있다. |
| Misun: So if our listeners want to ask where something is, they can say, 어디에 있어요? |
| Keith: Yes. And in front of that you need to say what you're looking for. So for example, let’s say subway station. |
| Misun: 지하철역 |
| Keith: And then we add the phrase... |
| Misun: 어디에 있어요? |
| Keith: “Where is.” So together that’s... |
| Misun: 지하철역 어디에 있어요? |
| Keith: Where is the subway station? |
| Misun: Also in the conversation, there was 강원도에 있어요.. |
| Keith: It's in Gangwondo. |
| Misun: Again, it's telling the location of something. |
| Keith: So if we wanted to say that something is located somewhere, you can say the place it's located, then say... |
| Misun: 있어요. |
| Keith: So if we say we're at school... |
| Misun: We say school first, 학교. |
| Keith: And then we use 있다. |
| Misun: 에 있어요. |
| Keith: Okay. So together, that's… |
| Misun: 학교에 있어요. |
| Keith: If you noticed, there's something there. There’s 에. |
| Misun: 네. Yes! That's a location marker. |
| Keith: Right, it's a particle. |
| Misun: So when you're saying the location of something, you attach 에 at the end of the location. |
| Keith: Right. So I think at this point, we could just suggest to our listeners, just say 에 있어요. |
| Misun: 네. |
| Keith: Okay, Misun, let’s wrap things up. Can you give us some examples? |
| Misun: Sure. 저는 뉴욕에 있어요. |
| Keith: “I am in New York.” Next example? |
| Misun: 한국에 있어요. |
| Keith: “I am in Korea.” |
Outro |
| Keith:All right. Well, that’s just about does it for today. |
| Misun: 안녕히 계세요. (Annyeonghi gyeseyo.) 다음에 봐요. (daeume bwayo.) |
