| INTRODUCTION |
| Brandon: In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Korean learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native speaker. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations. |
| GRAMMAR POINT |
| Brandon: In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question โHow old are you?โ In Korean this is |
| Kyejin: ๋ช ์ด์ ๋๊น? (Myeot sarimnikka?) |
| Brandon: The first word in the question is |
| Kyejin: ๋ช ์ด (myeot sal) |
| Brandon: meaning something like โhow oldโ in English. It literally means โhow many years.โ |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) ๋ช ์ด (myeot sal) |
| Brandon: Listen again and repeat. |
| Kyejin: ๋ช ์ด (myeot sal) |
| {Pause} |
| Brandon: This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. The next word in the question is |
| Kyejin: ์ ๋ (imni) |
| Brandon: This is the verb-stem of the verb |
| Kyejin: ์ ๋๋ค. (imnida.) |
| Brandon: meaning 'to be.' |
| Brandon: Now repeat. |
| Kyejin: ์ ๋ (imni) |
| {Pause} |
| Brandon: Listen to the the first 2 words of the question and repeat. |
| Kyejin: ๋ช์ด ์ ๋ (myeotsal imni) |
| {pause} |
| Brandon: And after that |
| Kyejin: ๊น (kka) |
| Brandon: the question marking particle. |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) ๊น (kka) |
| Brandon: Now repeat. |
| Kyejin: ๊น (kka) |
| {Pause} |
| Brandon: Listen to the entire question and repeat. |
| Kyejin: ๋ช ์ด์ ๋๊น? (Myeot sarimnikka?) |
| {pause} |
| Brandon: You will hear this common question again and again throughout your studies. Master the following pattern and responses to the question โHow old are you?โ |
| Kyejin: 18์ด์ ๋๋ค. (์ด์ฌ๋์ด์ ๋๋ค.) ( Yeoryeodeolsarimnida.) |
| Brandon: "I'm 18 years old.โ Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |
| Kyejin: (Slow) 18์ด์ ๋๋ค. ( Yeoryeodeolsarimnida.) |
| {pause} |
| Kyejin: 18์ด์ ๋๋ค. ( Yeoryeodeolsarimnida.) |
| Asking women their ages might be considered rude in South Korea, just like in other countries. Please use this question only if necessary. |
| Brandon: Let's break it down from the beginning. The first word: |
| Kyejin: 18์ด (yeoryeodeolsal) |
| Brandon: means 18 years old. |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) 18์ด (yeoryeodeolsal) |
| Brandon: Now repeat |
| Kyejin: 18์ด (yeoryeodeolsal) |
| {Pause} |
| Brandon: And next we have |
| Kyejin: ์ ๋๋ค (imnida) |
| Brandon: the verb meaning 'to be.' |
| Kyejin: (Slow, by syllable) ์ ๋๋ค (imnida) |
| Brandon: Now repeat. |
| Kyejin: ์ ๋๋ค (imnida) |
| {Pause} |
| Brandon: Listen to the speaker say, โI'm 18 years old.โ and then repeat. |
| Kyejin: 18์ด์ ๋๋ค. (Yeoryeodeolsarimnida.) |
| {pause} |
| Brandon: To expand on the pattern, replace โ18 years oldโ with โ25 years old.โ |
| Kyejin: 25์ด (์ค๋ฌผ๋ค์ฏ์ด) (seumuldaseot sal) |
| Brandon: 25 years old |
| Kyejin: (slow) 25์ด (seumuldaseot sal) |
| (regular) 25์ด (seumuldaseot sal) |
| Brandon: Listen to the phrase again, this time with โ25 years oldโ |
| Kyejin: 25์ด์ ๋๋ค. (Seumuldaseotsarimnida.) |
| Brandon: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace โ18 years oldโ. Say โI'm 25 years old.โ |
| {pause} |
| Kyejin: 25์ด์ ๋๋ค. (Seumuldaseotsarimnida.) |
| Brandon: To use a different phrase, replace โ25 years oldโ with โ47 years old.โ |
| Kyejin: 47์ด (๋งํ์ผ๊ณฑ์ด) (maheunilgopsal) |
| Brandon: 47 years old |
| Kyejin: (slow) 47์ด (maheunilgopsal) |
| (regular) 47์ด (maheunilgopsal) |
| Brandon: Listen to the phrase again, this time with โ47 years oldโ |
| Kyejin: 47์ด์ ๋๋ค. (Maheunilgopsalimnida.) |
| Brandon: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace โ25 years oldโ with โ47 years old.โ Say โI'm 47 years old.โ |
| {pause} |
| Kyejin: 47์ด์ ๋๋ค. (Maheunilgopsalimnida.) |
| Brandon: To expand on this pattern, replace โ47 years oldโ with โ50 years old.โ |
| Kyejin: 50์ด (์ฐ์ด) (swinsal) |
| Brandon: 50 years old |
| Kyejin: (slow) 50์ด (swinsal) |
| (regular) 50์ด (swinsal) |
| Brandon: Listen to the phrase again, this time with โ50 years oldโ |
| Kyejin: 50์ด์ ๋๋ค. (Swinsal sarimnida.) |
| Brandon: It mostly stays the same. Simply replace โ47 years oldโ with โ50 years oldโ. Say โI'm 50 years old.โ |
| {pause} |
| Kyejin: 50์ด์ ๋๋ค. (Swinsal sarimnida.) |
