3 INTRODUCTORY UNIT INTRODUCTORY UNIT Introduction This is the first of two volumes designed to teach spoken Korean to English speakers. The Korean presented in this book is representative of the 'standard' speech of educated Koreans in Seoul, which has been the capital city and cultural, educational, and political center of the country for over five hundred years. In Korea, as in every other nation, there is considerable local variation in pronunciation and vocabulary as well as in styles of speech. However, in schools all over Korea the language presented here is used and taught as the national standard and, if you learn it well, you will be speaking a form of Korean which has prestige throught the country and which will be understood everywhere. This course is written primarily for use in an intensive language program of twenty or more hours per week; but it can also be used for other situations, such as a language program in which one or more part time students attend class for three to six hours per week, or for individual study with the aid of recorded tapes. Acquiring proficiency in the use of language is like acquiring proficiency in any other skill, for example, driving an automobile, you must practice until the mechanics of driving or speaking are reflex. It is the aim of this course, therefore, to bring students to 'automacity' in speaking and understanding everyday Korean. The following points are emphasized to both the teacher and the student: 1. ALWAYS SPEAK AT A NORMAL CONVERSATIONAL SPEED. Neither the teacher nor the student should ever allow himself to speak slower than a normal rate of speed'. 2. AVOID THE USE OF ENGLISH IN THE CLASSROOM except for occasional linguistic explanations or discussions by a linguist. Drill hours with the native speaking instructor should be carried out entirely in Korean from the very beginning. Time spent in speaking English in class is largely time wasted. 3. CORRECT MISTAKES IMMEDIATELY. Mistakes made by a student should not be passed over, but should be immediately corrected by the instructor. 4. AVOID QUESTIONS beginning with WHY, such as «Why do you say it that way?» If a student wants to ask questions, he should ask more useful and answerable questions beginning with HOW or WHEN, such as, "How do you use the word?" or, When do you use this expression? 5. AVOID DISCUSSIONS WITH THE INSTRUCTOR ABOUT KOREAN. Talking about Korean should be confined to the linguistic hour specially 3

4 INTRODUCTORY UNIT set aside for such discussions with a scientific linguist, separate from regular drill hours. 6. REVIEW CONSTANTLY. As the students proceed through the course, they should master everything thoroughly. Each new unit presupposes thorough mastery of what has been covered before. Otherwise, do not go ahead. Organization and Use of This Course Each unit in Korean Basic Course Volume 1 (Units 1 18) consists of four major parts: Basic Dialogues or other 'basic sentences', Notes on Dialogues, Grammar Notes, Drills and Exercises. Basic Dialogues Each unit begins with a connected dialogue of about ten sentences between two or (occasionally) more speakers. Each dialogue is to be practiced, memorized and acted out until it has been so 'overlearned' that the utterances and their sequence are understood and can be produced automatically without conscious thought or hesitation. _In some units, there is a group of two or (rarely) more short dialogues which are related to one another. In such a unit, the dialogues may be treated as one connected dialogue. In the Basic Dialogues, new words and phrases ('build ups') are introduced immediately before each sentence. They are not part of the Dialogue itself. In dealing with the Basic Dialogues, the following steps are suggested: 1. First, the instructor reads each sentence line by line at normal speed. The students listen with books closed, so that they may become accustomed to depending on their ears. 2. The instructor says the words or phrases of the 'build ups' and then the complete sentences. The students repeat immediately after the instructor (books still closed). The instructor corrects errors by repeating mispronounced words or phrases as they should have been said, so that the students can try again. 3. When the students are able to approximate an imitation of the instructor, they begin intensive practice on the dialogue, imitating the instructor line by line (books optionally open), until the instructor is satisfied that their performance is sure and fluent. 4. After going through the dialogue several times in this way, the students take the roles in the dialogue (books closed) and practice until they are 4

5 INTRODUCTORY UNIT freely able to do it from memory. Notes on Dialogues and Grammar Notes Notes on Dialogues and Grammar Notes follow the Basic Dialogue section. The Notes are intended to be self explanatory and to be read outside the class after the Basic Dialogue has been introduced. The Notes on Dialogues are numbered according to the sentences in the dialogue, and are intended to give additional information on the use of the words, phrases or sentences. The Grammar Notes are systematic presentations of new patterns or major grammatical constructions that occur for the first time in the Basic Dialogues or other 'basic sentences' in the unit. If the course is being taught (as intended) by a team composed of a scientific linguist and a native speaker, some explanation of the Notes may be appropriate in class. However, in general, drill time in class with a native instructor should be conducted entirely in Korean. If the native speaking instructor is also a trained linguist and fluent in English, specific periods may be set aside for grammatical explanations; these should be kept separate from regular drill sessions during which English should be used only for translations or paraphrases designed to keep the student aware of the meaning of the Korean sentences he is practicing. The Grammar Notes are written to give some basic understanding of Korean to the beginning student, and are intended to be immediately and practically relevant. If, however, the student finds them difficult to understand, he can simply ignore them. Instead of wasting time talking about Korean, extensive drill concentrated on specific points of pronunciation or grammar can produce the desired goal proficiency in performance. The course is designed to produce an operational competence in Korean, not a theoretical understanding of it. Drills The Drills in this Course are of a considerable variety. However, each unit basically has five kinds of drills: Substitution Drills Transformation (or Grammar) Drills Response Drills Combination Drills Expansion Drills It is to be noted that each drill has its own specific purpose, but the final 5

6 INTRODUCTORY UNIT goal of all the drills is to lead the student to develop his proficiency in free conversation. Without sufficient drill practice, he cannot achieve such proficiency. Therefore, a great proportion of class time is to be devoted to drills, until the students are able to do them accurately with their books closed. Drills can be done in the following steps: 1. Drills are learned first like the sentences of the dialogues. That is, each new drill sentence is repeated after the instructor until it is correctly produced with books closed. 2. The students read the drill sentences aloud at normal speed from their books. 3. The drill is then done without the book; the instructor gives the appropriate cues or stimuli, and the students produce the proper responses. a. Substitution Drills In this course, there are several kinds of substitution drills: Simple Substitution; Multiple Substitution; Alternate Substitution, Correlation Substitution, etc. In substitution drills of whatever kind students will be required to produce the given pattern sentence, and then they will be required to make substitutions in one or more 'slots', using the 'cues' furnished by the instructor. Sometimes, he may be asked to form a properly arranged sentence by inserting a correlated cue. The basic aims of a substitution drill are two fold: the first is to make the student's control of the pattern sentences automatic and reflex, in order to develop fluency in actual free conversation; the second is to practice useful lexical items in the given sentence patterns. The lexical items are either those which have occurred previously or new related ones. New words and phrases added in the substitution drills are marked with an asterisk to the left of the sentence on their first occurrence. New words and phrases are used only in substitution drills. Substitution drills are printed in two columns, with English equivalents on the right and drill sentences with cues underlined on the left. English equivalents are not provided except for the model sentences at the beginning of each drill; but only in Substitution Drills are English equivalents provided for subsequent sentences. b. Response Drills These are mostly question and answer drills designed to help the students develop ability to respond to questions normally. A model is provided at the beginning of the drill. The student is required to produce a response for each question or remark, using the cue or stimulus supplied by the instructor. 6

7 INTRODUCTORY UNIT c. Transformation Drills The student is required to produce sentences parallel in an easily generalizable way to the pattern sentence. For example, the student may be asked to transform a negative to an affirmative pattern; or a statement to a question. Transformation Drills are sometimes designated as Grammar Drills in this course. d. Combination Drills These are drills in which the student is asked to produce one long pattern by combining two short patterns. e. Expansion Drills Starting from a short sentence, the instructor gives cues one by one requesting the student to expand the sentence each time in specific ways. Exercises The exercises are of two sorts: (1) they ask the student to complete unfinished utterances or to give appropriate responses to the questions based on reality relevant to each situation; (2) they offer suggestions about additional practice and review for what has been covered in the unit. The students should be able to do all these exercises fluently and accurately before going on to the next unit. Romanization The symbols used to represent Korean sounds are based on a phonemic analysis (see Pronunciation), but each word is transcribed morphophonemically that is, each word is always written with the same sequence of symbols, even though its pronunciation may be changed by what precedes or follows it. However, if a word has two shapes, our selection is made on the basis of the final sound of the preceding word. The stems of inflected words (i.e. verbs) are written the same way always, even if phonetic changes take place when certain endings or suffixes are added to them. Words are separated by spaces. A Korean word is a form which may be either (1) inflected or uninflected, (2) bound or free. Free forms can occur alone, while bound forms can occur only with other forms. If a bound form occurs with another form, the combination is a single word unless at least one of the bound forms also occurs with free forms in other constructions. The first letter of a sentence (except i or g) is capitalized. So is the first letter 7

8 INTRODUCTORY UNIT of a proper noun wherever it occurs. Korean Orthography (Hangul / 한글) In Volume 1, the dialogue portions of each unit are accompanied by Korean orthography (한글) throughout the text. And in the glossary at the end of the text, 한글 is provided for all entries, in addition to English equivalents. We follow the standard Korean spelling rules in this text regardless of the transcription. Spaces within a phrase or sentence are based on 한글 writing rules; for example, particles are not separated from the words preceding them. Since 한글 is relatively easy to learn, it may be introduced gradually during the middle part of the text, replacing the Romanized transcription completely by the time Volume 1 is completed. A student should thus be able to read in 한글 at normal speed before he goes on to Volume 2, which is entirely in 한글 and English. It is not the intention of this text to teach spoken Korean through 한글 from the very beginning, since it requires some time before the student can read it fluently. 한글 can be easily mastered by reading (in 한글) dialogues which have already been memorized by the students. It is suggested that students interested in written Korean (which requires the knowledge of Chinese characters in addition to 한글) use an appropriate basic reading text.

If two consonants occur in a cluster, the first of the cluster belongs to the preceding syllable and the second goes to the following syllable. Morphophonemic boundry within a word is not indicated. Thus, the consonant combinations p p / ㅂ ㅂ, t t / ㄷ ㄷ, c c / ㅈ ㅈ, k k / ㄱ ㄱ, s s / ㅅ ㅅ, p h / ㅂ ㅎ, t h / ㄷ ㅎ, c h / ㅈ ㅎ, k h / ㄱ ㅎ, which may be divided morphemically so that the first consonant of the cluster belongs to the preceding syllable and the second to the following syllable, are not distinguished syllabically from the unit consonants pp / ㅃ, tt / ㄸ, cc / ㅉ, kk / ㄲ, ss / ㅆ, ph / ㅍ, th / ㅌ, ch / ㅊ, kh / ㅋ, even though the Korean orthography does distinguish between them. In Korean, every syllable contains a vowel; therefore, there are as many syllables as there are vowels.

Excuse me (on leaving, on interrupting). 25. 실례했읍니다. Excuse me (for what was done). 26. 실례하겠읍니다. Excuse me (for what I'm going to do). 27. 안 됐읍니다. That's too bad. 28. (아니요) 괜찮습니다. Not at all. ('No, that's all right.') 안녕히 가십시요. 안녕히 게십시요. 또 뵙겠읍니다. Goodbye (to someone leaving). ('Go peacefully.') Goodbye (to someone staying). ('Stay peacefully.') See you again. So long. I'll see you again. Notes on Dialogs (Numbers correspond to the sentence numbers in the dialogs.) 1.2. The expression 안녕하십니까? ('Are you at peace?!) is a general greeting similar to such English expressions as 'How are you?, 'How do you do?', 'Good morning.', 'Good evening.', etc. It is used for first meetings at any time of the day. The usual responses to 안녕하십니까? are 안녕하십니까? and 네, 안녕하십니까? 3. 처음 뵙습니다. ('I meet you for the first time.') is regularly said by someone who has just been introduced. The response is usually 처음 뵙습니다; 안녕 21

22 UNIT 1. GREETINGS 하십니까? 4. 김 기수 is a full name: the family name 김 plus the given name 기수. Most Korean names consist of three syllables: the first is a family name, the last two are a given name. 저 'I' is the politest equivalent of 나. 6. 선생 means either 'teacher' or polite 'you'. After a family name or a family name plus a given name it is used as a title or term of address like English Mr., Mrs., or Miss. This form of address (i.e. Name + 선생) is most commonly used among or to the teachers of all levels, regardless of age and/or sex, but is also commonly used among and to educated male adults. Mr. 미스터, Mrs. 미시즈, and Miss 미씨, followed by the family name are commonly used by Koreans as forms of address when speaking to equals and young people. These forms of address are not applied to individuals older than or superior to the speaker. A full or last name + 씨 'Mr. ' occurs for other than the addressee to refer to a male adult of any age, rank or status. A family name + 씨 is also used as a term of address directly to the addressee who is a blue collar worker. 7. 네, 그렇습니다. ('What you just said is right, that's so.') is used as a response when you agree to the Yes No question regardless of whether it is negative or affirmative. 아니요, the opposite of 네, means 'What you just said is wrong. It is used in a parallel way as opposed to 네. Often 네 and 아니요 are used similarly as 'yes' and no' in affirmative Yes No questions but are the other way around in negative Yes No questions When a situation is obvious, the subject or topic in a Korean sentence is usually omitted. For example, (선생은) 무엇을 공부합니까? 'What do you study?'; (나는) 한국 말을 공부 합니다. 'I study Korean. Note that the subjects or topics in brackets may be omitted in speech. 공부 합니다 'studies' is one of many Korean verbs which are formed from nouns. The noun 공부 'studying' makes a verb (stem) by simply adding another verb (stem) 하 'to do', that is, 공부 + 하 > 공부 하 'to study'. (See Grammar Notes, the Verbals.) Examples: Kongpu hamnita. Kongpu hamnikka? '[I] study.' 'Do [you] study?' 12. 제임스 선생, 안녕 하십니까? ('Mr. James, how are you?') and 안녕 하십니까, 제임스 선생? ('How are you, Mr. James?') are freely interchangeable. 15. 요즘 어떻게 지나십니까? ('How do you pass by these days?') is a polite 22

23 UNIT 1. GREETINGS greeting to someone you know well, to ask him how things are going. The usual responses are 덕분 에 잘 지납니다. ('I pass by well at your favor.') or 그저 그렇습니다. 'Just so so.' 19. 부인 without being preceded by a name means either 'lady' or 'your wife'. A family name (with or without being followed by a given name) + 선생 (or a title) + 부인 means 'Mrs. ' or 'Mr. so and so's wife'. Example: 김 선생 부인 'Mrs. Kim' or 'Mr. Kim's wife' 21. 미안합니다. is commonly used to apologize, or to express thanks immediately upon receiving something. 23. 천만에 말씀입니다. ('A million words.') is a formal response to 'Thank you.', complimentary statements, and apologies. The English equivalent is 'You re welcome.' or 'Not at all.' 실레합니다. ('I commit rudeness.'), 실레했읍니다. ('I committed rudeness.'), 실레하겠읍니다. ('I'll commit rudeness.') are different only in time: present, past, and future, respectively. The proper one depends on the situation. 실레합니다. and 실레하겠읍니다. are used interchangeably for what is not done. 실레했읍니다. is used for something already done. 'Excuse me.' in English is used generally for all three expressions. 27. 안 됐읍니다. 'That's too bad.' ('[It] has not become.') is used to express the speaker's sympathy or regret. 28. (아니요) 괜찮습니다. 'Not at all.' ('(No), that's not bad.') is an informal response to 미안합니다., 고맙습니다., 실레합니다. (or 실레했읍니다. or 실레하 겠읍니다.), or to 안 됐읍니다 When two people part, the one who goes away says 안녕히 게십시요. ('Stay peacefully'), and the one who stays says 안녕히 가십시요. ('Go peacefully'). If both are departing, they both say 안녕히 가십시요. l. The Verbals and the Copula GRAMMAR NOTES In Korean, inflected words, which may be used by themselves as complete sentences, are called Verbals. Korean verbals are made up of two main parts: Verb Stems + Endings. Neither of the two main components in a verbal occurs alone. The verbals occur in a variety of forms depending on what endings are added to the verb stems, but the verb stems maintain their shapes, in most instances. Hereafter, 23

24 UNIT 1. GREETINGS we will call verb stems as well as all members of the inflected class of words Verbs. In Korean dictionaries, verbs always are listed with the ending 다. For instance, 가다 'to go', 오다 'to come', 먹다 'to eat', 자다 'to sleep', 읽다 'to read'. This is called the dictionary form of a verb. When 다 is dropped from the dictionary form the Verb Stem remains. It is very important to recognize every verb stem because all the inflected forms are based on them. Examples of Verbals: (저는) 공부 합니다. (저는) 한국 말을 가르칩니다. Cal cinamnita. Komaps1mnita. '(I)'m studying.l '(I) teach Korean.' '[I]'m fine.' ('I pass by well.') '(I) thank (you).' 입니다 is a verb: 이 is its stem and ㅂ니다 is its ending. 입니다 and the other inflected forms of 이 (for example, its dictionary form 이다) are used in sentences like 'Noun A is Noun B.' Often Noun A is not stated, but is understood. Thus, the verb stem 이 is equivalent to one meaning of the English verb 'to be'. Notice, however, that the English verb 'to be' is used not only to connect two nouns ('A is B') as in 'I am a teacher', but is also used in sentences like 'A is in such and such a state', as in 'She is beautiful'. The Korean verb 입니다 is used only for 'A is B, never in sentences like 'A is beautiful'. 입니다 is called the Copula; 이 is the stem of the Copula. The Copula never occurs alone. It is always preceded immediately by a noun and there is no pause between the noun and the Copula. The Copula is distinguished from other verbals only in that the Copula never occurs as a complete sentence, whereas other verbals may occur as complete sentences. Observe the following Copula expressions: (저는) 김 입니다. '(I) am Kim. ( 그 것) 무엇 입니까? 'What is (it)?' (저는) 미국 사람 입니다. '(I) am an American.' ( 제임스 는) 학생 입니다. '(James) is a Student.' 2. Particles 은/는, 을/를, 에 There is a class of uninflected words in Korean which occurs within a sentence or at the end of a sentence, but never at the beginning of one. These words are never preceded by a pause; they are regularly pronounced as though they were part of the preceding word. All such words are called Particles. Some 24

25 UNIT 1. GREETINGS particles have only one shape; others occur in either of two shapes determined by the final sound of the preceding word. (a) 1ngn1n Ias for', in reference to' is a two shape particle: 13 occurs after a word ending in a consonant and n13 occurs after a word ending in a vowel. (1) It follows the general topic (often one already under discussion) about which something new or significant is about to be stated or asked. Examples: Ca n1n haksmng imnita. II am a student.i Ce 111m 1n Ceim31 imnita. 'My name is James. Sanswng 1n Mikuk salam imnikka? 'Are you an American?I (2) 1ngn1n also occurs as the particle of comparison following a topic which is being compared: A 1ngn1n 'A in comparison with (others)' or 'insofar as we're talking about A. Examples: Sansang 1n muss 11 hasimnikka? 'What are YOU doing? Ca n1n Yange n1n kongpu hamnita. 'ENGLISH I am studying.' (in/nin never follows an interrogative word (i.e. a word that asks a question: 'What?', 'Who?', 'Where?', etc.)) (b) 11(111 is a two shape particle: 11 occurs after a noun ending in a consonant and 1;; after a noun ending in a vowel. The particle singles out the preceding noun as the direct object of the following inflected expression. Examples: Muas 11 kongpu hamnikka? 'Hhat do [you] study? Hankuk mal 11 kongpu hamnita. '[I] am studying Korean. Ilpon mal 11 ka11ch1mnita. '[He] teaches Japanese. Cungkuk mal 11 mal hamnita. '[He] speaks Chinese. (c) e When the particle 2 occurs between two nouns, it is called the Possessive Particle. Noun 1 + e + Noun 2 means 'Noun 1's Noun 2' or lnoun 2 of Noun. 1. Examples: ca 6 111m hakkyo 6 111m Kim e chmk 'my name' 'the name of the school' 'Kim's book' 25

26 UNIT 1. GREETINGS 3. Nouns and Noun phrases. Korean nouns are uninflected words, that is, they have only one form. (They do not,for example, reflect the singular plural distinction as English nouns do.) In Korean two or more nouns often make up noun phrases and are used as though they were one word. Compare: (a) Single nouns: Mikuk 'America', 'the U.S.' salam 'person', 'man' mal 'language', 'utterance' (b) Noun Phrases: (1) Country name + salam a Nationality Mikuk salam I(an) American' ('America person') Yengkuk salam '(an) Englishman' ('Britian person') Ilpon salam '(a) Japanese' ('Japan person') Cungkuk salam '(a) Chinese' ('China person') (2) Country name + mal = language of the country named Hankuk mal 'Korean (language)' ('Korea language') Cungkuk mal 'Chinese (language)' ('China language') Pullanse mal 'French' ('France language') Yange* 'English' Note 1: Place name + mal = dialect Saul mal 'Seoul dialectl Pusan mal lpusan dialect' Note 2: Place name + salam : Person of the place named 26

27 UNIT 1. GREETINGS Nam Han salam 'South Korean' Pusan salam 'Pusanian' Saul salam 'Seoulite' Nyuyok salam 'New Yorker' A noun which may occur as a free form is called a Free Noun. Hereafter, any noun or noun phrase which occurs in a position where a free noun can be substituted shall be called a Nominal Expression or simply a Nominal. _._. x_. * Egggg is a single word expression for 'English'. Yangkuk mal ('British language') is rarely used for English. 27

It is never used to modify a following noun. 5. 쪽 'direction' occurs after determinatives (See Grammar Note 3) or place names. It never stands along. Examples: 이 쪽 저 쪽 그 쪽 학교 쪽 대사관 쪽 왼 쪽 오른 쪽 'this way' 'that way' 'that way' 'the direction of the school' 'the direction of the embassy' 'the left' 'the right' 8.18 고맙습니다 and 감사합니다 'Thank you.' are freely interchangeable on any occasion. 10. 어메 'where' is the contracted form of 어디 + 에. 34

35 UNIT 2. FINDING ONE'S WAY AROUND 13. 여관 generally refers to 'inns' or 'hotels' of all sizes. However, modern western style hotels are often called 호텔. 14. 어느 'which', 'what' always occurs before a nominal (free or bound) as a determinative. It never occurs as a free form. 19. 천만에요. 'Not at all. is the informal equivalent of 천만에 말씀입니다. 1. Formal Polite Speech Sentences GRAMMAR NOTES The nucleus of a Korean sentence comes at the end of the sentence. When the nucleus of a normal sentence is a verb, we talk about verb stems and verb endings. There are several levels and/or styles of speech which show the relationship between the speaker and the person spoken to and/or about. The distinctions of speech level are shown mostly by the inflected forms of verbs. In all societies, everywhere, when people talk to one another, they give each other signals (gestures, tones of voice, word choice, etc.) to show that they understand their personal relationship (equality, dominance, subordination) and the situation (polite casual, formal informal, etc.). Sometimes, in our democratic society, we like to pretend these things don't exist, but they do. Very few of us can talk to our boss the way we talk to our best friend. In Korean, the personal relationship signals are built into the language. Formal Polite Speech is the polite style of speech commonly used between adults who do not have a casual relationship. The four forms of Formal Polite Speech verb endings are listed below. (a) Formal Polite Statement Form: ㅂ니다 ~ 습니다 In Formal Polite Statements, ㅂ니다 is added to a verb stem ending in a vowel; 습니다 to a verb stem ending in a consonant. Examples: Stem Verbal 가 'to go' 갑니다. '[I] go.' 오 'to come' 옵니다. '[I] come.' 배우 'to learn' 배웁니다. '[I] learn.' 공부하 'to study' 공부합니다. '[I] study.' 읽 'to read' 읽습니다. '[I] read. 먹 'to eat' 먹습니다. '[I] eat. 알 'to know' 압니다. '[I] know.' 35

36 UNIT 2. FINDING ONE'S WAY AROUND (b) Formal Polite Question Form: mnikka? ~ s!1mnikka? In Formal Polite Questions, mni g? is added to a verb stem ending in a vowel, s]1mninka? to a verb stem ending in a consonant. Compare: 갑니다. '[I] go.' 갑니까? 'Do [you] go? 옵니다. '[I] come.' 옵니까? 'Do [you] come? 배웁니다. '[I] learn.' 배웁니까? 'Do [you] learn? 공부합니다. '[I] study.' 공부합니까? 'Do [you] sthdy? 읽습니다. '[I] read. 읽습니까? 'Do [you] read? 먹습니다. '[I] eat. 먹습니까? 'Do [you] eat? (c) Formal Polite Imperative Form: sipsiyo ~ 1sig iyo In Formal Polite Requests, sipsiyo is added to a verb stem ending in a vowel and 1sipsiyo to a verb stem ending in a consonant. Examples: gm Verbal ha 'to do' Hasipsiyo. 'Please do [it]. ka 'to go' Kasipsiyo. 'Please go. o 'to come' Osipsiyo. 'Please come. mule po 'to inquire' Mule posipsiyo. lplease ask. 133 'to exist! Iss1sipsiyo. IPlease stay.l ilk 'to read' Ilkisipsiyo. 'Please read. (d) Formal Polite Propositative Form: psita ~ 1psita In Formal Polite Proposals ('Let's.'), psita is added to a verb stem ending in a vowel, and 1psita is added to a verb stem ending in a consonant. Examples: Stem Verbal ka 'to go' Kapsita. 'Let's go. kalichi 'to teach' Kalichipsita. 'Let's teach. mal ha 'to speak' Mal hapsita. 'Let's speak.' mule po 'to inquire' Mule popsita. 'Let's ask. ilk 'to read' Ilkipsita. 'Let's read.' 2. Particles 이/가, 로/으로, 에 (a) 이/가 The particle 이/가 singles out the preceding word as the emphasized subject of a sentence; 이 occurs after a word ending in a consonant and 가 after a word ending in a vowel. When the particle 이/가 is added, the subject is emphatic. Observe the location of the emphasis in the English equivalents. Examples: 36

37 UNIT 2. FINDING ONE'S WAY AROUND 학교가 있습니다. Ce kenmul i tasakwan imnita. 서가 한국말을 배웁니다. 'There is a school.' ('A school exists.') 'That building is the embassy. 'I am studying Korean. (b) 로/으로 'to, toward' A place nominal + logilo followed by such verbs as Ea: 'to go', 2: 'to come' indicates the direction of the following inflected expression. E2 occurs after a place noun which ends in a vowel and ilg after a noun ending in a consonant. ExampleS: HakkyO lo kamnita. Cip 110 osipsiyo. Wen cook 110 kasipsiyo. {'[I] go to school.l I[I]'m going toward the school.' lplease come to the house.' 'Please go to the left (side).' (c) 에 'at', 'on', 'in', 'to' A place gor location) noun + e indicates that the action of the following inflected expression takes place at the noun. Examples: Saul i Hankuk e ias1mnita. 'Seoul is in Korea. ('Seoul is in Korea.') Tasakwan i 3 i_g iss1mnikka? 'flhggg is the Embassy? ('At what place does the Embassy exist?') Yekwan in palo aph_g iss1mnita. 'A hotel is right ahead. Chmk il chmksang e tuss31mnita. '[I] have placed (put? the book on the gggg. 3. Determinatives There is a small class of uninflected words in Korean which never occur by themselves but are followed by nominals. Words of this class are called Determinatives. A determinitive + a nominal : a noun phrase. In Unit 2, we have the following determinatives: i 'this ', 23 'that ], g; lthe (or that) ', gni 'which ', glig 'right ', Egg Ileft '. Observe the following examples: i chmk 'this book' i kes 'this (thing)' ca salam 'that man' 37

38 UNIT 2. FINDING ONE'S WAY AROUND ca kes 'that (thing over there? k1 konmul 'that ('the') building' k1 salam 'that man (mentioned previously) eni pwkwacem which department store' ani kas 'which one' olin cook 'the right (direction)! wen cook 'the left (direction)' Note that i 'this and 23 'that ' before nominals indicate nominals within the sight of the speaker, while E; Ithat (23 the) ' before a nominal refers to a previously mentioned one; glin 'the right ' and 323 'the left ' occur only before the word 322$. 4. Post Nouns: kes, pun, ccok Egg ('thing'), 222 ('person'), 295 ('side') belong to a small class of Korean nouns which never occur alone but only after such words as determinatives, free nouns, or other modifier classes of words and make up nominal phrases. Words of this class are called Post Nouns. Examples: 1 kas 'this (thing)! ca pun 'that man (honored)' kh1n kos '(a) big onel wen cook 'the left (side)' 5. Imnita and Isaimnita In Korean there is a distinction between the experssion (a) 'A is B' and (b) 'There is an A. or 'A exists. In Unit 1, we learned that the copula i (of which imnita is one inflected form) is used to denote 'Noun A is Noun 13.! In contrast to the copula, the verb igg; (of which is51mnita is one inflected form) means '(something) exists. (See Grammar Note 1, Unit 1.) Compare: (a) (K1 kas in) cheek imnita.. '[It] is a book. 38

39 UNIT 2. FINDING ONE'S WAY AROUND I kanmul i hakkyo imnita. IThis building is a school.' Na nin sensang imnita. I am a teacher. (b) Chak i 1331mnita. 'There is a book. ('A book exists.') Saul e tmsakwan i is51mnita. There is an Embassy at Seoul. ('An exbassy exists at Seoul. ) Note that a nominal igka + is31mnita preceded by a personal noun as a topic occurs to express that the personal noun has or possesses the nominal. Examples: Na nln chmk i is81mnita. II have a book.l ('As for me a book exists.') Sansmng 1n Hankuk mal sacan 1 'Do you have a Korean dictionary? 1331mnikka? Ne, (na nin) sikye ka 1531mnita.

Notes on Dialogs (Numbers correspond to the sentence numbers in the dialogs.) l. 여보세요. 'Hello there! ('Please look here. ) is the informal polite equivalent of the less frequently used form 여보십시요. 여보세요. is said only when you try to get the attention of a passerby and is not said as the equivalent of the English greeting expression 'Hi.' or 'Hello. 여보세요! also occurs regularly when you make and/or receive a phone call. 길 좀 물어보겠읍니다. ( I'll inquire [you] about the street a little.') is used when you ask someone for street directions. 2. The verb stem 역 means 'to look for (something, someone), 'to find', 'to get (money at the bank), 'to claim (something), etc. 3. 서울역에 가는 길을 아십니까? means literally 'Do you know the street which goes to Seoul Station? The phrase 'place noun + 에 가는 길' is the equivalent of English 'the way to + place noun.' 5. The verb stem in 맙니까? 'Is [it] far? is 멀. ㄹ in 멀 is dropped when either 읍 니다 or 읍니까 ending is added to the stem. 13. 누구 'who' or 'what person' is a noun. When 누구 is used as the subject of a sentence, with the particle 이/가, it has the irregular form 누가. When other particles follow, the full form 누구 occurs. For example, 누구를 'whom', 누구와 'with whom', 누구에게 'to whom', 에게의 'whose', etc. 14. 그분 'he (honored)' is the politer equivalent of 그 사람 ('that person'). 사람 is a free noun, whereas 분 occurs only as a post noun. 15. The verb stem 모르 'do not know' is the negative of the verb stem 알 ; 'know'. When one of the 읍니다, 읍니까, 읍시다 and 으십시요 endings is added to the stem 알, ㄹ is dropped and is not pronounced. 46
