Jaehwi: 아이가 (a-iga) |
Becky: You can use the noun... |

Becky: to mean either a baby or child in general. The other noun... |
Jaehwi: 어린이 (eorini).. |

Jaehwi: (SLOW) 아이가 (a-iga) (REGULAR) 아이가 (a-iga) |
Becky: Then comes the phrase - "was born." |
Jaehwi: 태어났어요 (taeeonasseoyo) |
Becky: This expression has the verb... |
Jaehwi: 태어나다 (tae-eonada) |
Becky: which means "to be born." Listen again- "was born" is... |
Jaehwi: (SLOW) 태어났어요 (taeeonasseoyo) (REGULAR) 태어났어요 (taeeonasseoyo) |
Becky: All together, "The baby was born!" |
Jaehwi: 아이가 태어났어요. (a-iga taeeonasseoyo.) |
