| INTRODUCTION |
| Dana: Hi everyone, I'm Dana. |
| Jaehwi: And I'm Jaehwi. |
| Dana: And welcome to Must-Know Korean Sentence Structures, Season 1, Lesson 50. Talking About Assumptions. |
| Dana: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use a sentence pattern for expressing assumptions. |
| PATTERN |
| Dana: For example, |
| Dana: "I assume that you finished the report." |
| Jaehwi: 레포트 다 했을 것 같아요. (lepoteu da haesseul geot gattayo.) |
| Jaehwi: [slow] 레포트 다 했을 것 같아요. (lepoteu da haesseul geot gattayo.) |
| Dana: The pattern for expressing assumptions has three elements. First, the noun for "report". |
| Jaehwi: 레포트 (lepoteu). |
| Dana: Second, the adverb “all.” |
| Jaehwi: 다 (da). |
| Dana: Third, the sentence ending. |
| Jaehwi: You can have a verb plus ㄹ 것 같아요(l geot gattayo) or 을 것 같아요(eul geot gattayo). |
| Jaehwi: 했을 것 같아요 (haesseul geot gattayo). |
| Dana: Altogether, we have... "I assume that you finished the report." |
| Jaehwi: 레포트 다 했을 것 같아요. (lepoteu da haesseul geot gattayo.) |
| [slow] 레포트 다 했을 것 같아요. (lepoteu da haesseul geot gattayo.) |
| [normal] 레포트 다 했을 것 같아요. (lepoteu da haesseul geot gattayo.) |
| Dana: You can use… |
| Jaehwi: -았을 것 같아요 (at eul geot gattayo) or 었을 것 같아요 (eot eul geot gattayo) or 였을 것 같아요 (yeot eul geot gattayo) |
| Jaehwi: These are polite phrases used when one thinks or assumes that something has been done. |
| Dana: The object is followed by the adverb, “all; everything,” |
| Jaehwi: 다(da) |
| Dana: followed by the supposition in past tense |
| Jaehwi: a verb plus 았 을 것 같아요(at eul geot gattayo) or 었을 것 같아요(eot eul geot gattayo). |
| Dana: Once again, "I assume that you finished the report" is... |
| Jaehwi: 레포트 다 했을 것 같아요. (lepoteu da haesseul geot gattayo.) |
| Dana: So remember, use the sentence ending... |
| Jaehwi: -았을 것 같아요 (at eul geot gattayo) or 었을 것 같아요 (eot eul geot gattayo) or 였을 것 같아요 (yeot eul geot gattayo) |
| Dana: ...after the verb when you want to create a sentence that shows the assumption of the speaker regarding an action done by the other party. |
| Dana: Here is another example meaning, "I assume that you are finished studying." First, the noun for "study". |
| Jaehwi: 공부 (gongbu). |
| Dana: Second, the adverb, “all.” |
| Jaehwi: 다 (da). |
| Dana: Third, the sentence ending... |
| Jaehwi: ...the verb plus ㄹ 것 같아요(l geot gattayo) or 을 것 같아요(eul geot gattayo). |
| Jaehwi: 했을 것 같아 (haesseul geot gatta). |
| Dana: Altogether we have... |
| Jaehwi: 공부 다 했을 것 같아. (gongbu da haesseul geot gatta.) |
| [slow] 공부 다 했을 것 같아. (gongbu da haesseul geot gatta.) |
| [normal] 공부 다 했을 것 같아. (gongbu da haesseul geot gatta.) |
| Dana: "I assume that you are finished studying." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 공부 다 했을 것 같아. (gongbu da haesseul geot gatta.) |
| Dana: How do you say, "I assume that you finished the movie."? To give you a hint, "watch" is... |
| Jaehwi: 보다 (boda). [slow] 보다 (boda). [normal] 보다 (boda). |
| Dana: "I assume that you finished the movie." |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 영화 다 봤을 것 같아요. (yeonghwa da bwasseul geot gatayo) |
| [slow] 영화 다 봤을 것 같아요. (yeonghwa da bwasseul geot gatayo) |
| [normal] 영화 다 봤을 것 같아요. (yeonghwa da bwasseul geot gatayo) |
| [pause] |
| Jaehwi: 영화 다 봤을 것 같아요. (yeonghwa da bwasseul geot gatayo) |
