Hi Sansa,

Thanks for posting. Could you include the English equivalents next time so we can provide you with an accurate answer?

Having said that, let's take a look at what you wrote:

제가 가고 싶는 곳이 많아요. -->👍

이것은 작년에 이층에서 떨어져서 고장난 카메라 예요. --->이것은 작년 이층에서 떨어뜨려 고장난 카메라예요. (the camera cannot throw itself from the 2nd floor, it was dropped so you need to use a passive verb)

이노래는 대회에서 부를 노래예요. -->이 노래는 대회에서 부를 노래예요.

한 말이 바귈수 없어요. --->한번 한 말은 바꿀 수 없어요.

Keep up the good work!

한 말이 바귈수 없어요. Words said can't be changed.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for posting. I understand your confusion, the sample sentence itself is a bit tricky! Just remember that you would not see a machine that studies Korean, so the meaning 'This is a machine that studies Korean' would be incorrect.

Having said that, the sample sentence '한국어 공부하는 기계예요' is colloquial, which means the particle was omitted (which a lot of Native Korean people will do during conversation). It would actually be '(제가) 한국어(를) 공부하는(할때 사용하는) 기계예요.' Sorry for the confusion. ?

As for '지금 사랑하는 사람', it is usually used to refer to the person that the speaker 'loves' at the moment:

지금 (내가) 사랑하(고 있)는 사람

However, grammatically, 'the person that loves now' is also correct. But you would not usually see people using this phrase in everyday conversation as it does not sound as 'natural'.

I hope this was of help. Please let us know if you have any other inquiries.

Best,

Lyn

Hello KoreanClass101!

Thanks for another great lesson! :)

I have a difficulty sometimes understanding the subject and the object of a sentence.

For example: 한국어 공부하는 기계예요

The translation in the lesson is: It's a machine that you study Korean with

I would have thought it is: It's a machine that studies Korean

Is there any indication in the sentence that it is the first meaning or can it have both meanings and is to be understood by context?

Another examples: 지금 사랑 하는 사람. Can it mean both "The person that is being loved now" and "The person that loves now"?

Thanks in advance!

Alex

Hi Emma,

You're right, 계 is pronounced with an 'y' sound (gye). However, when spoken quickly you may find it difficult to hear it (and think you are hearing '게' instead). Sorry for the confusion!

안녕하세요,

I'm a little confused with the pronunciation of 기계, for the 계 part is there supposed to be a "y" sound or more like an "e" sound only? I don't know if it's just my ears but it sounds like an "e" only to me.

Thank you!

Emma

Hi Ben,

Thank you for posting. Good effort, but to say 'I'm watching a Korean drama', you would write:

지금 보고 있는 (currently watching)

지금 보는 중인 (중=middle, in the middle of watching)

Cheers,

Lyn

If you what you want to talk about has two adjectives, one of which is a verb with the suffix, which would come first. For example, if I'm telling someone about a Korean drama I'm watching would I say:

보는 한국 드라마 or 한국 보는 드라마

Or are neither right? :smile:

I *think* the first one would be the more correct one but I'm not sure.

Hello Kila,

Both are commonly used, and mean the same : ) I would recommend 지금 읽는 책 as the meaning is clear in this sentence.

거예요 literally means “This is a thing that” so it doesn’t make a sentence to be in future/past tense. Instead, it depends on ㄴ in 본 and ㄹ in 볼.

ㄹ 거예요 means “This is a thing that I will do (in the future)” and

ㄴ 거예요 means “This is a thing that I did (in the past)”

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

또 하나의 질문:

Like Zane Im also confused by:

아침에 뉴스에서 본 거예요. [보다]

It's something I saw in the news this morning.

I understand 본 vs. 볼 but with "거예요" (which is a future ending?) how does the whole statement translate into a past action?

고맙다!

Is 지금 보는 책 more commonly used than 지금 읽는 책? Or is there a contextual difference between the two?

Thanks!
