| INTRODUCTION |
| Dana: Hi everyone, I'm Dana. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |
| Dana: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 40. Expressing Uncertainty. |
| Dana: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for expressing possibility. |
| PATTERN |
| Dana: For example, |
| Dana: "I may come back again." |
| Jaehwi: ๋ค์ ์ฌ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (dasi oljido mollayo.) |
| Jaehwi: [slow] ๋ค์ ์ฌ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (dasi oljido mollayo.) |
| Dana: The pattern for expressing possibility has three elements. First, an adverb "again". |
| Jaehwi: ๋ค์ (dasi). |
| Dana: Second, verb stem plus โmay have toโ |
| Jaehwi: ใน์ง๋ (ljido) or ์์ง๋ (euljido). |
| Jaehwi: ์ฌ์ง๋ (oljido). |
| Dana: Third, polite tense of โdo not knowโ. |
| Jaehwi: ๋ชฐ๋ผ์ (mollayo). |
| Dana: Altogether, we have... "I may come back again." |
| Jaehwi: ๋ค์ ์ฌ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (dasi oljido mollayo.) |
| [slow] ๋ค์ ์ฌ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (dasi oljido mollayo.) |
| [normal] ๋ค์ ์ฌ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (dasi oljido mollayo.) |
| Dana: We have the phrase... |
| Jaehwi: ใน์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๋ค (ljido moreuda) or ์์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๋ค (euljido moreuda) |
| Dana: You can use it when expressing possibility or uncertainty. You attach the phrase to the verb stem and use it at the end of a sentence. In the sample sentence, the adverb "later" is used, followed by the verb stem "come" and "may do"... |
| Jaehwi: ใน์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๋ค (ljido moreuda) or ์์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๋ค (euljido moreuda) |
| Dana: Altogether we haveโฆ |
| Jaehwi: ๋ค์ ์ฌ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (dasi oljido mollayo.) |
| Dana: So remember, use the phrase... |
| Jaehwi: ใน์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๋ค (ljido moreuda) or ์์ง๋ ๋ชจ๋ฅด๋ค (euljido moreuda) |
| Dana: ...at the end of the sentence when you want to express possibility or uncertainty. |
| Dana: Here is another example meaning, "I may need to go to the hospital." |
| Dana: First, nounโฆ |
| Jaehwi: ๋ณ์ (byeongwon) |
| Dana: plus the place marking particle. |
| Jaehwi: ์ (e). |
| Dana: Which together sound like |
| Jaehwi: ๋ณ์์ (byeongwone). |
| Dana: Second, the verb stem plus โmay have toโ |
| Jaehwi: ใน์ง๋ (ljido) or ์์ง๋ (euljido). |
| Dana: In this case, the verb-stem ends in a vowel, so you can use the first one and sayโฆ |
| Jaehwi: ๊ฐ์ง๋ (galjido). |
| Dana: Third, polite tense of โdo not know.โ |
| Jaehwi: ๋ชฐ๋ผ์ (mollayo). |
| Dana: Altogether we have... |
| Jaehwi: ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (byeongwone galjido mollayo) |
| [slow] ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (byeongwone galjido mollayo) |
| [normal] ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (byeongwone galjido mollayo) |
| Dana: "I may need to go to the hospital." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: ๋ณ์์ ๊ฐ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (byeongwone galjido mollayo) |
| Dana: How do you say, "I may go on a date."? To give you a hint, "date" is... |
| Jaehwi: ๋ฐ์ดํธ (deiteu). [slow] ๋ฐ์ดํธ (deiteu). [normal] ๋ฐ์ดํธ (deiteu). |
| Dana: "I may go on a date." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: ๋ฐ์ดํธ ํ ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (deiteu haljido mollayo) |
| [slow] ๋ฐ์ดํธ ํ ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (deiteu haljido mollayo) |
| [normal] ๋ฐ์ดํธ ํ ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (deiteu haljido mollayo) |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: ๋ฐ์ดํธ ํ ์ง๋ ๋ชฐ๋ผ์. (deiteu haljido mollayo) |
