| Debbie: Let’s have a closer look at the usage for some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first word is |
| Tim: 거 which is a shortened form of 의 것 |
| Debbie: This word 거 is often used when something belongs to someone. |
| Tim: Umm… |
| Debbie: It is a possessive pronoun, right Tim? |
| Tim: 예, 맞아요. The formation is name of the person or noun plus 거. For example, 이것은 팀 거입니다. This belongs to Tim. |
| Debbie: Ah what about this then? 이 마이크는 제 거이고 저 마이크는 팀 거입니다. This mic is mine and that mic is Tim’s. |
| Tim: 정말 좋은 예문이네요. |
| Debbie: 근데요 팀, now that I think about it, I’ve heard that many young Korean couples often say this word 거. |
| Tim: 아 맞아요. They often say it to each other. 너는 내 거야. You are mine and 나는 네 거야. I am yours. 제가 어렸을 때요 제 여자 친구가 저한테 이렇게 말하곤 했어요. When I was very young, my girlfriend used to say this to me. 넌 내 거야. You are mine. |
| Debbie: 여러분, 팀은 초등학교 때부터 여자 친구가 있다고 하죠? Did you know that Tim had a girlfriend as an elementary school student? |
| Tim: 정확히 말하자면요 초등학교 5학년 때부터죠. That was in the 5th grade to be exact. |

| Tim: 푸하하하 |
| Debbie: Oh boy! 자 그럼 다음 phrase는 무엇이죠? |
| Tim: 내가 쏠게. It’s on me. |
| Debbie: Ah this phrase is often used when someone is willing to pay for a meal or drinks. |
| Tim: 예, 맞아요. Let’s break the phrase down for our listeners. 쏘다 literally means to shoot and 쏠게 means I will shoot. For example, 내가 저녁 쏠게 literally means I will shoot for dinner. You know the words dinner is on me. |
| Debbie: Ah then, what about this? 내가 술 쏠게. Drinks are on me. |
| Tim: Really, great okay. I have one more. 내가 영화 쏠게. Movie tickets are on me. |
| Debbie: Wow! What a useful expression. |
| Tim: Yes. |
| Debbie: Now let’s move on to the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Debbie: The focus of today’s lesson is the expression of what could, would, should or might have been. It is used to express a speaker’s expectation, presumption, intention or opinion about a certain situation or circumstance. |
| Tim: 예. 한국어로 뭐뭐ㄹ을 텐데. |
| Debbie: This expression 뭐뭐ㄹ을 텐데 is used when the speaker talks about their expectation, presumption, intention or opinion about a certain situation or circumstance. So first, can you tell us about the structure of 텐데? |
| Tim: 알겠습니다. 텐데 basically comes from 터 plus 이 plus ㄴ데. |
| Debbie: First 터 is a dependable noun that indicates a previous expectation, intention and a condition of a speaker. |
| Tim: And 이 is a stem of a word. |
| Debbie: And lastly, ㄴ데 is the ending of a word. |
| Tim: Therefore altogether 터 plus 이 plus ㄴ데 becomes 터인데. It is the longer form of 텐데. |
| Debbie: 아, 그렇군요. Okay then, second, let’s take a look at the conjugation rules of 텐데. |
| Tim: 알겠습니다. It’s very simple. Past or present verb stem plus ㄹ을 텐데 it would, could be or it would, could, have been. |
| Debbie: So rule #1, attach ㄹ 텐데 if the verb stem ends without a 받침. In other words, it ends in a vowel. |
| Tim: Rule #2. Attach 을 텐데 if the verb stem ends with a 받침. In other words, it ends in a consonant. |
| Debbie: 팀, 예문 부탁해요. |
| Tim: 알겠습니다. With the first rule, verb stem plus ㄹ 텐데 if the verb stem doesn’t end with a 받침. |
| Debbie: Can we hear an example? |
| Tim: Sure for example, 만나다 is to meet. 만날 verb stem plus 텐데 becomes 만날 텐데 meaning I could be meeting. Here is an example sentence 지금 남산타워에 가면 팀을 만날 텐데. |
| Debbie: Ah which means you could meet him if you go up to the Namsan Tower right now. 그리고요 what’s more 서울을 한눈에 볼 텐데. You could see the whole city of Seoul. |
| Tim: 아, 보다 to see 보 verb stem plus ㄹ 텐데 becomes 볼 텐데 would see. Great example Debbie. Okay next with the second rule, attach 을 텐데 if the verb stem ends with a 받침. |
| Debbie: Can we hear an example? |
| Tim: Sure. For example, 많다 is to be many 많 verb stem plus 을 텐데 becomes 많을 텐데 meaning it could be many. Here is an example sentence. 지금 한국에 가면 관광객이 많을 텐데. |
| Debbie: Which means there could be many visitors if you visit Korea now. 하지만 지금 가면 정말 재미있을 텐데요. However it would be really fun if you went now. |
| Tim: Yes good example Debbie. 근데 Debbie씨? |
| Debbie: 네? |
| Tim: 오늘 녹음 끝나고 친구들하고 영화 보러 간다고 했지요? You said, you are going to a movie with your friends after today’s recording, right? |
| Debbie: 네. |
| Tim: 영화가 재미가 없을 텐데. The movie might not be enjoyable. |
| Debbie: 정말요? 왜요? |
| Tim: 왜냐면요 저 없이 가잖아요. Because you are going there without me. |
| Debbie: 아니죠 팀씨. 그러니까 더 재미가 있을 텐데요. That’s why the movie would be more enjoyable. |
| Tim: 그런가? Is that so? |
Outro |
| 그럼 여러분 들어 주셔서 감사드리고요. |
| Debbie: 저도 감사드리고요. |
| Tim: 그럼 다음 시간에 더욱 재미있는 한국어 레슨과 만나요. |
