| Miseon: The first word we look at is 잠깐만 (jamkkanman). |
| Keith: Just a little while, wait a second. |
| Miseon: 잠깐만 (jamkkanman), 잠깐만 (jamkkanman). |
| Keith: All right, so 잠깐만 (jamkkanman) means wait a second or just a second. But there are other ways to say the same thing, isn’t there? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), they're all very similar, at the end of this expression you have 만 (man) and 만 (man) means “only”. So you can just say 잠깐! (jamkkan!) |
| Keith: And what else is there? |
| Miseon: You can also say 잠시만! (jamsiman!) |
| Keith: Right, and what if you want to be more polite? |
| Miseon: 잠깐만요 (jamkkanmanyo) or 잠시만요. (jamsimanyo.) |
| Keith: Great, once again 잠깐 (jamkkan) |
| Miseon: 잠깐만 (jamkkanman) |
| Keith: 잠시만 (jamsiman) |
| Miseon: 잠깐만요, 잠시만요. (jamkkanmanyo, jamsimanyo.) |
| Keith: Okay, and those are [also] different ways you can say wait a second. All right, the next word we’re going to take a look at is: |
| Miseon: 방해하다 (banghaehada). |
| Keith: To disturb, to interrupt. |
| Miseon: 방해하다 (banghaehada), 방해하다 (banghaehada). |
| Keith: And this is pretty straight forward, but how do you form a sentence with this? |
| Miseon: You can say something like -을/를 방해하다 (-eul/reul banghaehada) |
| Keith: Right, so there we’re the object marking particle 을 (eul) or 를 (reul). |
| Miseon: Right. |
| Keith: So, for example what can we say? |
| Miseon: 공부를 방해하다 (gongbureul banghaehada). |
| Keith: To disturb, or interrupt someone studies. Literally, that one is saying study interrupt. |
| Miseon: Another one, 데이트를 방해하다 (deiteureul banghaehada). |
| Keith: And to interrupt someone’s date. Once again that’s literally date interrupt. And you need that object marking particle on there. All right, great job. so now let’s have a look at the focus for this lesson. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Keith: Miseon-ssi, can you help us out, what do we taking a look at? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), the focus of this lesson is how to tell someone not to do something using -지 마세요 (-ji maseyo). |
| Keith: Okay, as in the example. |
| Miseon: 전화하지 마세요 (jeonhwahaji maseyo). |
| Keith: Don’t call me. |
| Miseon: I didn’t mean it though, sorry. And in this lesson we’ll also learn some expressions related to phone calls. |
| Keith: Okay, so, how do we tell someone not to do something in Korean? |
| Miseon: In order to tell someone not to do something, the verb ending that you can use is -지 마세요 (-ji maseyo). |
| Keith: -지 마세요 (-ji maseyo) right, and you can make it a little less formal if you want, correct? |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), just drop the end and just say -지 마 (-ji ma) if you’re talking in intimate language. |
| Keith: Right, that’s right, that’s 반말 (banmal). |
| Miseon: 네 (ne). |
| Keith: All right, so let’s practice forming a sentence using this negative imperative structure -지 마세요 (-ji maseyo) or -지 마 (-ji ma). |
| Miseon: 네 아주 쉬워요 (ne aju swiwoyo). To the verb stem, just add -지 마세요 (-ji maseyo). |
| Keith: Okay, for example. |
| Miseon: “To go” is 가다 (gada), right? So, “don’t go” is 가지 마세요 (gaji maseyo). |
| Keith: 가지 마세요 (gaji maseyo). All right, so that one’s “don’t go”. So how about at school. How about “don’t be late”? |
| Miseon: To be late is 늦다 (neutda). |
| Keith: All right, so if I understand correctly, you add -지 마세요 (-ji maseyo) |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), 맞아요 (majayo), and it becomes, 늦지 마세요 (neutji maseyo). |
| 늦다 (neutda). 늦지 마세요 (neutji maseyo). |
| Keith: Right, so how was it used in this dialogue, the structure? |
| Miseon: 전화하지 마세요 (jeonhwahaji maseyo). |
| Keith: "Don't call me." |
| Miseon: 들어오지 마세요 (deureooji maseyo). |
| Keith: "Don't come in." |
| Miseon: 물어보지 마세요 (mureoboji maseyo). |
| Keith: "Don't ask me." |
| Miseon: 방해하지 마세요! (banghaehaji maseyo!) |
| Keith: "Don't disturb me!" |
| Miseon: Try not to sound too rude, when you say these things, haha, not like me. I said rude things. 방해하지 마세요! (banghaehaji maseyo!) |
| Keith: Really, a lot of emotions in there, I can see it in your eyes, Miseon-ssi. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), well, that’s a good tip. |
| Keith: Now before we finish, how about having a quick look at some expressions related to phone calls. |
| Miseon: I’ve been waiting for it. |
| Keith: Ok, so why don’t you help us out then? Go ahead, Miseon. |
| Miseon: Ok, first, 전화하다 (jeonhwahada). |
| Keith: and that one’s to call someone, to make a phone call. |
| Miseon: 전화하다 (jeonhwahada) |
| Keith: And can you help us out with an example please? |
| Miseon: 전화해 주세요. (jeonhwahae juseyo.) |
| Keith: "Please call me." |
| Miseon: And the next expression is 전화를 받다 (jeonhwareul batda). |
| Keith: To receive a phone call, to answer the phone. |
| Miseon: 전화를 받다, 전화를 받다. (jeonhwareul batda, jeonhwareul batda.) |
| Keith: Okay, and that one, can we have an example too? |
| Miseon: Of course. 전화 받으세요. (jeonhwa badeuseyo.) |
| Keith: “Answer the phone please.” |
| Miseon: 전화 번호 (jeonhwa beonho) |
| Keith: That one is “phone number”. |
| Miseon: 전화 번호 (jeonhwa beonho), 전화 번호 (jeonhwa beonho). |
| Keith: And an example. |
| Miseon: 전화 번호 몇 번이에요? (jeonhwa beonho myeot beonieyo?) |
| Keith: “What is your phone number”, so if you’re really curious about phone conversations, phone vocabulary, repeat this lesson and repeat after the lovely Miseon-ssi. |
| Miseon: 네 (ne), Keith, don’t follow me, Okay. |
