Lesson Transcript

Welcome to Can Do Korean by KoreanClass101.com.
In this lesson, youโ€™ll learn how to give your phone number in Korean.
For example, "My phone number is 010-0567-8910." is
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
Yeon-a Yu is at the city hall registering her address.
A civil servant is asking for her phone number.
Before you hear their conversation, letโ€™s preview some of its key components.
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (jeon-hwa-beon-ho)
"phone number"
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (enunciated)
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ
Listen to the conversation and focus on the response.
Ready?
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
Once more with the English translation.
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
"What's your phone number?"
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
"My phone number is 010-0567-8910."
Let's break down the conversation.
Do you remember how Ji-hye Jeong says,
"What's your phone number?"
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
First is ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (jeon-hwa-beon-ho), meaning "phone number." ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ.
This starts with ์ „ํ™” (jeon-hwa), "phone." ์ „-ํ™”-. ์ „ํ™”.
Next is ๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (beon-ho), "number." ๋ฒˆ-ํ˜ธ-. ๋ฒˆํ˜ธ.
Together, itโ€™s ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (jeon-hwa-beon-ho), "phone number." ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ.
Remember this because youโ€™ll see it again in Yeon-a Yuโ€™s response.
Next is ๊ฐ€ (ga), the subject-marking particle. ๊ฐ€. ๊ฐ€.
In this sentence, ๊ฐ€ marks ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ, "telephone number" as the subject of the sentence. Think of it as marking "telephone number" as the thing being talked about.
Last is ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (mwo-ye-yo?). A polite, informal phrase meaning "what is it?" ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (mwo-ye-yo?)
First is ๋ญ(mwo), "what." ๋ญ. ๋ญ.
Next is ์˜ˆ์š”(ye-yo). Here, itโ€™s like the "is" in "is it." ์˜ˆ์š”. ์˜ˆ์š”.
Here, the word "it" is understood from context.
์˜ˆ์š” is from the verb ์ด๋‹ค(i-da) meaning "to be." ์ด๋‹ค.
Note: ์˜ˆ์š” follows words that end in vowels like ๋ญ.
Together, ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (mwo-ye-yo?) "what is it?" ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”?
Here the question is formed by the rising intonation.
Listen again, ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (mwo-ye-yo?)
All together, itโ€™s ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?) This literally means, "Phone number, what is," but translates as, "What's your phone number?"
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
Note, the "your" in "your phone number" is understood from the context of the two-person conversation. Omitting understood information is common in Korean.
Remember this request. Youโ€™ll hear it again later.
Letโ€™s take a closer look at the response.
Do you remember Yeon-a Yuโ€™s response,
"My phone number is 010-0567-8910."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
First is ์ œ (je), "my." ์ œ. ์ œ.
This is the shortened form of ์ € (jeo), the humble word for "I," and ์˜ (ui), meaning "of." Together it's ์ €์˜(jeo-ui), "my," ์ €์˜. This is shortened to ์ œ (je).
Next, do you remember the word for phone number?
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (jeon-hwa-beon-ho), "phone number." ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ.
Together, ์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho). "my phone number." ์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ.
Next is, ๋Š” (neun), the topic-marking particle. ๋Š” (slow version - breakdown by syllable).๋Š”.
It marks "my phone number" as the topic of the sentence. Think of it like "as for" in the expression "as for my phone number."
Next is Yeon-a Yuโ€™s phone number, 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต), 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต) ( gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong).
Notice how Yeon-a Yu says her phone number.
First, she says each number independently.
Second, in Korean, hyphens are either omitted or read. For this lesson, weโ€™ll omit the hyphens and indicate spaces after a group of numbers with a pause mid-speech.
0 (๊ณต)(gong) 1 (์ผ)(il) 0 (๊ณต)(gong), (pause) 0 (๊ณต)(gong) 5 (์˜ค)(o) 6 (์œก)(yuk) 7 (์น )(chil) (pause) 8 (ํŒ”)(pal) 9 (๊ตฌ)(gu) 1 (์ผ)(il) 0 (๊ณต)(gong)
Last is ์ด์—์š” (i-e-yo), in this case, itโ€™s like the "is" in "My phone number is." ์ด์—์š” (slow version - breakdown by syllable). ์ด์—์š”.
์ด์—์š” (i-e-yo) is from the verb ์ด๋‹ค (i-da) "to be." ์ด๋‹ค.
Note: ์ด์—์š” follows words that end in consonants like ๊ณต(gong).
All together, itโ€™s ์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. This literally means, "As for my phone number 010-0567-8910 is," but it translates as "My phone number is 010-0567-8910."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
The pattern is:
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š”(Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun) {PHONE NUMBER}์˜ˆ์š”/์ด์—์š” (ye-yo/i-e-yo).
My phone number is {PHONE NUMBER}.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š”(Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun) {PHONE NUMBER}์˜ˆ์š”/์ด์—์š” (ye-yo/i-e-yo).
To use this pattern, simply replace {PHONE NUMBER} with your phone number and choose between ์˜ˆ์š”/์ด์—์š”.
Imagine your phone number is 02-0101-3434 (๊ณต์ด ๊ณต์ผ๊ณต์ผ ์‚ผ์‚ฌ์‚ผ์‚ฌ)(gong-i gong-il-gong-il sam-sa-sam-sa)
Say
"My phone number is 02-0101-3434."
Ready?
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 02-0101-3434 (๊ณต์ด ๊ณต์ผ๊ณต์ผ ์‚ผ์‚ฌ์‚ผ์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-i gong-il-gong-il sam-sa-sam-sa-ye-yo.)
"My phone number is 03-1212-3434."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 02-0101-3434 (๊ณต์ด ๊ณต์ผ๊ณต์ผ ์‚ผ์‚ฌ์‚ผ์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”.
There are two versions of the subject-marking particle:
๊ฐ€(ga) follows words that end in a vowel, such as ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ(jeon-hwa-beon-ho).
์ด(i) follows words that end in a consonant, such as 7 (์น )(chil).
There are two versions of the topic-marking particle.
๋Š” follows words that end in a vowel, such as ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ(jeon-hwa-beon-ho).
์€ follows words that end in a consonant, 7 (์น )(chil).
There are two polite forms of the verb ์ด๋‹ค(i-da) "to be."
์˜ˆ์š”(ye-yo) follows words that end in a vowel, such as ๋ญ(mwo).
์ด์—์š”(i-e-yo) follows words that end in a consonant, such as 7 (์น )(chil).
Again, the pattern is
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š”(Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun) {PHONE NUMBER}์˜ˆ์š”/์ด์—์š” (ye-yo/i-e-yo).
My phone number is {PHONE NUMBER}.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š”(Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun) {PHONE NUMBER}์˜ˆ์š”/์ด์—์š” (ye-yo/i-e-yo).
Let's look at some more examples.
Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
"My phone number is 010-0567-8910."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 02-0101-3434 (๊ณต์ด ๊ณต์ผ๊ณต์ผ ์‚ผ์‚ฌ์‚ผ์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-i gong-il-gong-il sam-sa-sam-sa-ye-yo.)
"My phone number is 02-0101-3434."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 02-0101-3434 (๊ณต์ด ๊ณต์ผ๊ณต์ผ ์‚ผ์‚ฌ์‚ผ์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0703-9004 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ๊ณต์‚ผ ๊ตฌ๊ณต๊ณต์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-chil-gong-sam gu-gong-gong-sa-ye-yo.)
"My phone number is 010-0703-9004."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0703-9004 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ๊ณต์‚ผ ๊ตฌ๊ณต๊ณต์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 02-0123-9876 (๊ณต์ด ๊ณต์ผ์ด์‚ผ ๊ตฌํŒ”์น ์œก)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-i gong-il-i-sam gu-pal-chil-yug-i-e-yo.)
"My phone number is 02-0123-9876."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 02-0123-9876 (๊ณต์ด ๊ณต์ผ์ด์‚ผ ๊ตฌํŒ”์น ์œก)์ด์—์š”.
010-0789-6543 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ํŒ”๊ตฌ ์œก์˜ค์‚ฌ์‚ผ)์ด์—์š”. (Gong-il-gong gong-chil-pal-gu yuk-o-sa-sam-i-e-yo.)
"It's 010-0789-6543."
010-0789-6543 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ํŒ”๊ตฌ ์œก์˜ค์‚ฌ์‚ผ)์ด์—์š”.
Did you notice how the last speaker omitted ์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun)?
010-0789-6543 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ํŒ”๊ตฌ ์œก์˜ค์‚ฌ์‚ผ)์ด์—์š”.
"Itโ€™s 010-0789-6543."
When directly responding to a request, itโ€™s often possible to omit part of the response.
Here by simply giving your phone number, thereโ€™s no need to include ์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š”
"As for my phone numberโ€ฆ"
The pattern is
{PHONE NUMBER}์˜ˆ์š”/์ด์—์š” (ye-yo/i-e-yo)..
"Itโ€™s {PHONE NUMBER}."
You should be aware of this shortcut, but for this lesson, weโ€™ll use the full sentence pattern.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” {PHONE NUMBER}์˜ˆ์š”/์ด์—์š” (ye-yo/i-e-yo)..
My phone number is {PHONE NUMBER}.
Let's review.
Respond to the prompts by speaking aloud. Then repeat after the native speakers, focusing on pronunciation.
Ready?
Do you remember how to say "phone number?"
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (jeon-hwa-beon-ho)
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ
And how to say, "my phone number?"
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ (je jeon-hwa-beon-ho)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ
Do you remember how to say
"As for my phone number."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” (je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š”
Now, do you remember how Yeon-a Yu says,
"My phone number is 010-0567-8910."
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-o-yuk-chil pal-gu-il-gong-i-e-yo.)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0567-8910 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์˜ค์œก์น  ํŒ”๊ตฌ์ผ๊ณต)์ด์—์š”.
Do you remember the polite, informal phrase meaning "what is it?"
๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (mwo-ye-yo?)
๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”?
Do you remember Ji-hyeโ€™s request, "What's your phone number?"
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”?
Let's practice.
Imagine youโ€™re Yun-seok Yu and your phone number is 010-0816-2816. (gong-il-gong gong-par-ill-yuk i-par-ill-yuk)
Respond to the civil servantโ€™s request.
Ready?
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0816-2816 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณตํŒ”์ผ์œก ์ดํŒ”์ผ์œก)์ด์—์š”.(Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-par-ill-yuk i-par-ill-yug-i-e-yo.)
Listen again and repeat.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0816-2816 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณตํŒ”์ผ์œก ์ดํŒ”์ผ์œก)์ด์—์š”.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0816-2816 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณตํŒ”์ผ์œก ์ดํŒ”์ผ์œก)์ด์—์š”.
Letโ€™s try another.
Imagine you're No-a Yu and your phone number is 010-0724-0689 (in Korean). (gong-il-gong gong-chir-i-sa gong-yuk-pal-gu)
Ready?
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0724-0689 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ์ด์‚ฌ ๊ณต์œกํŒ”๊ตฌ)์˜ˆ์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-chir-i-sa gong-yuk-pal-gu-ye-yo.)
Listen again and repeat.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0724-0689 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ์ด์‚ฌ ๊ณต์œกํŒ”๊ตฌ)์˜ˆ์š”.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0724-0689 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ์ด์‚ฌ ๊ณต์œกํŒ”๊ตฌ)์˜ˆ์š”.
Letโ€™s try one more.
Imagine you're Ga-eun Gim, and your phone number is 010-0703-9004 in Korean (gong-il-gong gong-chil-gong-sam gu-gong-gong-sa).
Ready?
์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๊ฐ€ ๋ญ์˜ˆ์š”? (Jeon-hwa-beon-ho-ga mwo-ye-yo?)
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0703-9004 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ๊ณต์‚ผ ๊ตฌ๊ณต๊ณต์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”. (Je jeon-hwa-beon-ho-neun gong-il-gong gong-chil-gong-sam gu-gong-gong-sa-ye-yo.)
Listen again and repeat.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0703-9004 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ๊ณต์‚ผ ๊ตฌ๊ณต๊ณต์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”.
์ œ ์ „ํ™”๋ฒˆํ˜ธ๋Š” 010-0703-9004 (๊ณต์ผ๊ณต ๊ณต์น ๊ณต์‚ผ ๊ตฌ๊ณต๊ณต์‚ฌ)์˜ˆ์š”.
