The -(으)ㄹ래요 ending “intention” The -(으)ㄹ래요 ending indicates the speaker’s intention or immediate desire, and it corresponds to “will” or “intend to” in English. The ending is used only with the verbs not with the adjectives, and it is normally used in colloquial settings. The -(으)ㄹ래요 ending is a three-form ending: -을래요 is used after a stem that ends in a consonant, as in 먹을래요; -ㄹ래요 is used after a stem that ends in a vowel, as in 갈래요; -래요 is used for a ㄹ-irregular, as in 만들래요. The -(으)ㄹ래요 ending is only used for the first person and the second person subjects. Consider the following conversation: As seen above, the -(으)ㄹ래요 ending is used in the second person question for the first sentence and the first person statement in the second sentence. Here are some more examples: The -(으)ㄹ래요 ending cannot be used for the third person subject, since one cannot speak for the third person’s intention. Consequently, a sentence like 수잔이 커피 마실래요 is ungrammatical in Korean. -(으)ㄹ래요 vs. -고 싶어요/싶어해요 The difference between -(으)ㄹ래요 and -고 싶어요/싶어해요 is that while the former expresses an intention, the latter expresses a wish or hope. For instance, consider the following sentences: As seen above, the sentences with the -고 싶어요 ending simply indicate the speaker’s wish. However, the sentences with the -(으)ㄹ래요 ending indicate that the speaker has already made up his/her mind and will do so. -(으)ㄹ래요 vs. -(으)ㄹ 거예요 In the previous unit, the -(으)ㄹ 거예요 ending that expresses the probable future as well as the first person speaker’s intention was introduced. -(으)ㄹ 거예요 and -(으)ㄹ래요 can both be used to indicate the intention of the first person speaker, as shown below: The meanings of both sentences are similar, and they can be used interchangeably. However, note that the usage of -(으)ㄹ 거예요 is much wider than that of -(으)ㄹ래요, in that -(으)ㄹ 거예요 can be used for the third person subject as well. When the speaker is not the first or second person, -(으)ㄹ 거예요 indicates the speaker’s conjecture. The -(으)ㄹ게요 ending “willingness” The -(으)ㄹ게요 ending indicates the speaker’s promise or willingness to do something for the listener’s interest. The ending is used only for first person subject and only with the verbs not with the adjectives. Consider the following sentences: Notice that speaker A asks what time B will come to the library. Speaker B’s reply with -(으)ㄹ게요 conveys a sense of promise or reassuring of “arriving at the library by 9 a.m.” for speaker A’s sake. The -(으)ㄹ게요 ending is a three form ending: -을게요 is used after a stem that ends in a consonant, as in 먹을게요; -ㄹ게요 is used after a stem that ends in a vowel, as in 갈게요; -게요 is used for ㄹ-irregular verbs, as in 만들게요. The -(으)ㄹ래요 ending and the -(으)ㄹ게요 ending seem to resemble each other since they can both be translated as “will” in English. However, there are two clear differences. First, while -(으)ㄹ래요 can be used for a second person in questions, -(으)ㄹ게요 cannot. This is because the -(으)ㄹ게요 ending is used only for the first person subject. The second difference is that while -(으)ㄹ래요 indicates the speaker’s intention, -(으)ㄹ게요 carries the speaker’s sense of promise. Here are some examples for comparison. As -(으)ㄹ게요 conveys a sense of promise, it is often used when the speaker volunteers to do something. For instance, consider the following sentences. * Click to read related posts.

The -(으)ㄹ까? ending is used to indicate a speaker’s wondering mindset and/or to seek the listener’s opinion. To make the ending polite one can add 요 to the ending, as in -(으)ㄹ까요? The ending -(으)ㄹ까요? is a three form verb ending: -을까요? is used with the stem that ends in a consonant as in 먹을까요? and -ㄹ까요? is used with the stem that ends in a vowel as in 갈까요? With the ㄹ-irregular predicates, -까요? is used, as in 알까요? When the speaker is the subject, the -(으)ㄹ까요? ending expresses the speaker’s wondering mindset. Consider the following sentences. Notice that the speaker is the subject of the sentence in the above examples. When the subject of the sentence is a third person, the -(으)ㄹ까요? ending is used to seek the listener’s opinion. Consider the following sentences: The -(으)ㄹ까요? ending can be used for the past tense as well. Consider the following sentences: The repeated use of -(으)ㄹ까요? can be used to express alternative questions. For instance, consider the following sentences: Notice that while the predicate is used only once in English, the predicate is repeated in Korean. Meanwhile, when -(으)ㄹ까요? is used with other verbs such as 하다(do) and 생각하다(think), it expresses the speaker’s provisional idea regarding what she/he may do, corresponding to “I am thinking of doing something.” in English.

The Past Tense Marker 었/았 Since the stems of verbs and adjectives cannot be used alone, they are always used with endings. Korean has many different endings that convey much of the grammatical functions such as tense, aspects, sentence types, conjunctions, speech levels, and so on. The endings can be categorized into two types: final endings and pre-final endings, depending on where they appear in the verb or adjective. Final endings include various speech level endings, such as the polite level -어/아요 and the deferential speech level -습니다. Pre-final endings are inflectional elements that come between the stem and the final ending. Pre-final endings include the past tense marker 었/았 and the honorific suffix -(으)시. For instance, consider the following sentence: Notice the past tense marker 었 and the honorific suffix 시 appear between the stem 가르치 and the speech level ending -어요, as in 가르치시었어요 and it contracted to 가르치셨어요(taught). The past tense marker 었/았 is a two-form pre-final ending in that 았 is used after a stem that ends in a bright vowel, while 었 is used after a stem that ends in all other vowels. The following list shows how the marker is placed between the stem and the polite speech level ending -어/아요. * How to make past tense Note that -어요 is used after the past tense marker, 았/었. In addition, the conjugation of the verb 하다(do) is irregular in that the stem 하 is changed to 해, when it is combined with the past tense marker, as in 했어요(did). In general, the Korean past tense is similar to the English past tense in that they both signal the past action or situation. However, there is one subtle difference between them. While the English past tense primarily indicates something that occurred in the past, the Korean past tense indicates not only something that happened in the past but also whether the action or event is complete or not. For example, consider the following sentences: Notice that the above examples all have two interpretations. The first interpretation simply indicates something happened in the past. The second interpretation expresses the completion of an action or event. For instance, one may be at home, since the action of coming home is complete. In addition, one may be wearing socks, since the action of wearing socks is complete. Double Past Tense Marker 었었/았었 In Korean, one can change a past sentence into a double past sentence by adding 었 to the existing past tense marker 았/었. * How to make double past tense The double past tense marker 았었/었었 makes the past action or situation more remote than the regular past tense marker 았/었 does. The double past tense marker indicates that the past event is no longer relevant to the present activity or situation. In addition, it indicates that the past action or situation is totally complete. For instance, consider the following sentences. * One of my friend, +Gaedae Park shared a nice tip. Thank you so much! Hiya, I really enjoy your lessons! I just wanted to add a small grammar rule that helps me a lot. You don't really have to just memorize all of the "maker"s. The rule, as far as I understand is If the final vowel in the verb is ㅏ or ㅗ then the maker is 았 any other final vowel in the verb uses the 었 maker. This is helpful for me, because then I don't have to memorize each one and can just figure it out. Awesome work!! Keep it up!! * Click to read related posts.

Korean predicates are either regular or irregular. The regularity of a predicate depends on whether the stem of the predicate is subject to variation. The predicates whose stem do not change, regardless of the sound of the following suffix, are called regular predicates. On the other hand, those predicates whose stems are subject to variation depending on the sound of the following suffix are called irregular predicates. This unit introduces seven irregular predicates. * Irregular verbs ㄷ-irregular Some verbs whose stem end with ㄷ are irregular. For instance, consider the verb 묻다. ㄷ of the stem 묻 changes to ㄹ when followed by a suffix that begins with a vowel, as shown below. Here are more examples of ㄷ-irregulars. Meanwhile, not all verbs that end with ㄷ are irregular. The following are examples of regular predicates. Notice that these ㄷ-ending verbs conjugate regularly. The stems of these regular predicates do not undergo any change whether the ensuing suffix begins with a vowel or a consonant. ㅂ-irregular The ㅂ-irregular predicates are subject to the following variation. ㅂ changes to either 우 or 오(for a few predicates), when the ensuing suffix begins with a vowel. For instance, consider how 춥다(cold) is conjugated. 춥 + 어요 = 추우 + 어요 = 추워요. Here are more examples. Not all predicates that end with ㅂ are irregular. The followings are regular ㅂ-ending predicates. ㅅ-irregular Some verbs that end with ㅅ are subject to the following irregular conjugation. ㅅ of the stem gets deleted when followed by a suffix that begins with a vowel. Examples of ㅅ-irregular verbs are as follows. Not all predicates that end with ㅅ are irregular. The following are regular ㅅ-ending predicates. ㅎ-irregular Some predicates that end with ㅎ are subject to the following irregular conjugation. ㅎ of the stem drops out when followed by a suffix that begins with a vowel. A number of color-related adjectives as well as demonstratives fall into this group of irregular predicates, as shown below. Regular ㅎ-ending predicates include the following. 르-irregular Most Korean predicates that end with 르 conjugate irregularly. 르 of the stem drops out and a consonant ㄹ is added, when followed by a suffix that begins either 어 or 아. For instance, consider the verb 가르다(divide). Notice that 르 of the stem is deleted but a consonant ㄹ is inserted, when followed by polite speech level ending -아요. Here are more examples. It must be noted that the irregular conjugation of 르-irregular happens only after two vowels, 어 and 아, but not with other vowels. Not all predicates that end with 르 are subject to this irregular conjugation. The following few 르-ending predicates are regular. ㄹ-irregular All Korean predicates that end in ㄹ are subject to the following irregular conjugation. ㄹ drops out when the following suffix begins with one of ㄴ, ㅂ and ㅅ. 으-irregular All Korean predicates that ends with the vowel 으 are subject to the following irregular conjugation. the vowel 으 of the stem drops out when the following suffix begins with a vowel. * Click to read related posts.

보다 The particle 보다 is used to make a comparative sentence. This particle isㅠattached to a noun that is being compared, and it is translated as “more than” or “rather than.” Consider the following example: Notice that Tom’s room is the noun that is being compared to Jane’s room. Adverbs such as 더(more), 덜(less) and 훨씬(by far) can be used along with the particle 보다 to put more emphasis on the comparison, as shown below: Here are more examples: 처럼 and 같이 The particle 처럼 is used to compare one noun with another. It is translated as “as if” and “like”. Consider the following examples: The meaning of the particle 같이 is similar to that of 처럼, as shown below: 만큼 The particle 만큼 is used to express “as much as” or “to the extent to that”.
