| INTRODUCTION |
| Dana: Hi, everyone. I'm Dana. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |
| Dana: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 35 - Comparing Different Objects. |
| Dana: In this lesson, you'll learn a sentence pattern for comparing two different objects. |
| PATTERN |
| Dana: For example... |
| Dana: "Your bag is bigger than mine." |
| Jaehwi: 당신의 가방은 제 것보다 커요. (dangshineui gabangeun je geotboda keoyo.) |
| Jaehwi: [slow] 당신의 가방은 제 것보다 커요. (dangshineui gabangeun je geotboda keoyo.) |
| Dana: The pattern for comparing two different objects has 4 elements. First, there’s the possessive pronoun, noun plus |
| Jaehwi: 의 (eui). |
| Jaehwi: 당신의 (dangsineui). |
| Dana: Second, you add the noun plus the topic marking particle… |
| Jaehwi: 은 (eun). |
| Jaehwi: 가방은 (gabangeun). |
| Dana: Third, possessive pronoun, noun plus |
| Jaehwi: 것 (geot) |
| Dana: plus the comparison particle. |
| Jaehwi: 보다 (boda). |
| Jaehwi: 제 것보다 (je geotboda). |
| Dana: And last, adjective “big” plus the suffix… |
| Jaehwi: 요 (yo). |
| Jaehwi: 커요 (keoyo). |
| Dana: All together, we have "Your bag is bigger than mine." |
| Jaehwi: 당신의 가방은 제 것보다 커요. (dangshineui gabangeun je geotboda keoyo.) [slow] 당신의 가방은 제 것보다 커요. (dangshineui gabangeun je geotboda keoyo.) [normal] 당신의 가방은 제 것보다 커요. (dangshineui gabangeun je geotboda keoyo.) |
| Dana: This phrase is used when comparing two things, traits, etc. that are different. It is used to show contrast. By using a possessive pronoun before the object, you indicate who the item, up for comparison, belongs to. After the object of the sentence, you add the comparison particle… |
| Jaehwi: 보다 (boda), |
| Dana: followed by the second thing being compared. If used in a polite sentence, you end the sentence using the polite suffix… |
| Jaehwi: 요 (yo). |
| Jaehwi: 당신의 가방은 제 것보다 커요. (dangshineui gabangeun je geotboda keoyo.) |
| Dana: So remember, you can compare two things by using the comparison particle… |
| Jaehwi: 보다 (boda). |
| Dana: Here is another example meaning, "My shoes are prettier than yours." First, there’s the possessive pronoun, "my." |
| Jaehwi: 제 (je). |
| Dana: Second, there’s the noun plus the topic marking particle… |
| Jaehwi: 는 (neun). |
| Jaehwi: 구두는 (guduneun). |
| Dana: Third, you add the possessive pronoun, noun plus |
| Jaehwi: 것 (geot) |
| Dana: plus the comparison particle… |
| Jaehwi: 보다 (boda). |
| Jaehwi: 당신 것보다 (danksin geosboda). |
| Dana: And last, you say the adjective “pretty”, plus the suffix… |
| Jaehwi: 요 (yo). |
| Jaehwi: 예뻐요 (yeppeoyo). |
| Dana: All together, we have... |
| Jaehwi: 제 구두는 당신 것보다 예뻐요. (je guduneun dangsin geotboda yeppeoyo) [slow] 제 구두는 당신 것보다 예뻐요. (je guduneun dangsin geotboda yeppeoyo) [normal] 제 구두는 당신 것보다 예뻐요. (je guduneun dangsin geotboda yeppeoyo) |
| Dana: "My shoes are prettier than yours." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 제 구두는 당신 것보다 예뻐요. (je guduneun dangsin geotboda yeppeoyo) |
| Dana: How do you say "This diner is more delicious than that restaurant"? To give you a hint, "delicious" is... |
| Jaehwi: 맛있어요 (masisseoyo). [slow] 맛있어요 (masisseoyo). [normal] 맛있어요 (masisseoyo). |
| Dana: "This diner is more delicious than that restaurant." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 이 식당은 저 레스토랑보다 맛있어요. (i sigdangeun jeo reseutorang masisseoyo.) [slow] 이 식당은 저 레스토랑보다 맛있어요. (i sigdangeun jeo reseutorang masisseoyo.) [normal] 이 식당은 저 레스토랑보다 맛있어요. (i sigdangeun jeo reseutorang masisseoyo.) |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 이 식당은 저 레스토랑보다 맛있어요. (i sigdangeun jeo reseutorang masisseoyo.) |
