Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric.
Lyn: And I'm Lyn.
Eric: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 3. Using the Present Continuous.
Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for letting others know what someone is doing.
PATTERN
Eric: For example,
Eric: "I am hanging out at home."
Lyn: μ§‘μ—μ„œ 놀고 μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo nolgo isseoyo.)
Lyn: [slow] μ§‘μ—μ„œ 놀고 μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo nolgo isseoyo.)
Eric: The pattern for letting others know what someone is doing has 4 elements. First, a noun, "home."
Lyn: 집 (jip).
Eric: Second, a location marking particle, "in", "at."
Lyn: μ—μ„œ (eseo).
Eric: Third, a verb-stem "to play."
Lyn: 놀- (nol).
Eric: And last, a phrase meaning "in the middle of doing something."
Lyn: κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš” (go isseoyo).
Eric: Altogether, we have... "I am hanging out at home."
Lyn: μ§‘μ—μ„œ 놀고 μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo nolgo isseoyo.)
[slow] μ§‘μ—μ„œ 놀고 μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo nolgo isseoyo.) [normal] μ§‘μ—μ„œ 놀고 μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo nolgo isseoyo.)
Eric: By having a noun and a location marking particle, you can specify where the action is taking place. In this sentence, we have the location marking particle...
Lyn: μ—μ„œ (eseo)
Eric: which means β€œat” or β€œin.”
Lyn: μ§‘μ—μ„œ 놀고 μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo nolgo isseoyo.)
Eric: To say β€œIn the middle of doing something”, you can say...
Lyn: κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš” (go isseoyo).
Eric: after the verb-stem to let others know what someone is doing.
Eric: Here is another example meaning, "I am studying at home." First, a noun, "home."
Lyn: 집 (jip).
Eric: Second, a location marking particle, "in", "at."
Lyn: μ—μ„œ (eseo).
Eric: Third, a verb-stem "to study."
Lyn: κ³΅λΆ€ν•˜- (gongbuha-).
Eric: And last, a phrase meaning "in the middle of doing something."
Lyn: κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš” (go isseoyo).
Eric: Altogether we have..
Lyn: μ§‘μ—μ„œ κ³΅λΆ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo gongbuhago isseoyo.) [slow] μ§‘μ—μ„œ κ³΅λΆ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo gongbuhago isseoyo.) [normal] μ§‘μ—μ„œ κ³΅λΆ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo gongbuhago isseoyo.)
Eric: "I am studying at home."
[pause]
Lyn: μ§‘μ—μ„œ κ³΅λΆ€ν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeseo gongbuhago isseoyo.)
Eric: How do you say "I am working at home." To give you a hint, a verb-stem meaning "to work" is..
Lyn: μΌν•˜- (ilha). [slow] μΌν•˜- (ilha). [normal] μΌν•˜- (ilha).
Eric: β€œI am working at home.”
[pause]
Lyn: μ§‘μ—μ„œ μΌν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeoseo ilhago isseoyo.) [slow] μ§‘μ—μ„œ μΌν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeoseo ilhago isseoyo.) [normal] μ§‘μ—μ„œ μΌν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeoseo ilhago isseoyo.)
[pause]
Lyn: μ§‘μ—μ„œ μΌν•˜κ³  μžˆμ–΄μš”. (jibeoseo ilhago isseoyo.)
