GRAMMAR

This conversation introduces one of the most basic building blocks for conversation. The
verb 좋아해요 (johahaeyo), which means "like" is used quite frequently in conversation. Also,
we introduce a useful adverb, 진짜 (jinjja), "really."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grammar Point #1 - Like - 좋아해요
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The most basic and rudimentary way to express interest of something is to use the verb 좋
아해요 (johahaeyo), the verb "like." This is used just like the English verb "to like." The most
basic construction with this verb is as follows.

KOREANCLASS101.COM NEWBIE S1 #8 - I LIKE KIMCHI 4

-----------------------------
▷ Construction
-----------------------------
(Object)을/를 좋아해요. (Object)eul/reul johahaeyo. (Object) like.

Korean uses the object marking particle 을/를 (eul/reul) to mark the object of the sentence.
을 (eul) and 를 (reul) are the object marking particles, and both function in exactly the same
manner. The difference between the two is that 을 (eul) is used with words ending in
consonants, and 를 (reul) is used with words ending on vowels.

Example: 저는 피자를 좋아해요. (jeo-neun pija-reul johahaeyo). I like pizza. Literally:

I(topic marking particle) pizza(object marking particle) like (standard politeness level).
(topic of sentence) + (object that is liked) + (좋아해요).

---------------------------
♣ More Examples ♣
---------------------------
게임을 좋아해요. geim-eul johahaeyo. I like games.
노래를 좋아해요. norae-reul johahaeyo. I like singing.

The object marking particle can be dropped in speech. Although this can cause confusion
on occasion, the majority of the time, it can be inferred from context what the object is (this
is also true for other particles in Korean). Parts of speech can be dropped in conversation
(i.e. topic marking particle, subject marking particle), as long as they can be inferred from
context.

Below is a list of 좋아하다 (joahada) in different politeness levels.

------------------------
☞ remember ☜
------------------------
좋아합니다 (joahamnida) - Formal Politeness Level
좋아해요 (joahaeyo) - Standard Politeness Level
좋아해 (joahae) - Intimate Politeness Level

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grammar Point #2 - Really - 진짜
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just like the English word "really," the Korean version 진짜 (jinjja) is used very much in the
same manner. It can be really used as a question, an exclamatory statement, and as an
adverb. Below are a few examples of 진짜 (jinjja) used in these different contexts.

---------------------------
♣ More Examples ♣
---------------------------
Question:
A 씨: 저는 한국어 선생님입니다. (jeo-neun hangukeo seonsaengnim-imnida) I'm a Korean
teacher.
B 씨: 진짜? (jinjja?) Really?

A 씨: 나 백만원 땄어! (na baekman-won ttasseo!) - I won ₩1,000,000!

B 씨: 설마! (seolma!) - No way!
A 씨: 진짜! (jinjja!) - Really!

A 씨: 저는 신라면을 진짜 좋아해요 (jeo-neun sinramyun-eul jinjja johahaeyo) - I really like Shin

ramyun.

In the context of this conversation, 진짜 (jinjja) was used as an adverb and is used to modify
the verb 좋아해요 (joahaeyo) - like.

▷ In This Dialog
-----------------------------
(1)요나스: 드디어! 한국이다! 진짜 좋아해요. (1)Yonaseu: deudieo! hanguk-ida! jinjja johahaeyo.
(1)Jonas: Finally! Korea! I’m so happy!

------------------------
☞ remember ☜
------------------------
The pronunciation of 진짜 (jinjja) can be troublesome for some people. The first syllable
starts with ㅈ (j), and is pronounced like the English "j" in the word "jean." The next syllable
is ㅉ (jj). There is no real similar pronunciation in English. This sound is tenser than a single
ㅈ (j). Please refer to the Premium Learning Center for sound clips.

PRONUNCIATION TIPS

The differences between ㅈ (j), ㅉ (jj), and ㅊ (ch) are quite difficult for the untrained tongue.
Please check out the audio clips in the Premium Learning Center.

CULTURAL INSIGHT

진짜 (jinjja) can be seen as a bit feminine. This is because this word is used much more

KOREANCLASS101.COM NEWBIE S1 #8 - I LIKE KIMCHI 6

frequently by females than males. Males use this word as well, and it doesn't give off the
notion that the person is not masculine, but if used frequently, it can give off the impression
that one is on the feminine side.
